Apartment Hunting from 2500 miles away
Things are sometimes harder than they look. On paper, it seems easy, ya call up, ya fill out an application, you pay your mney and ya get a key when you get there. But alas, this is not fantasy land! And apparently in LaLa land, People dont pay their rent, cause people want names of first born, bloodwork, DNA samples, Names of people who owe you money. I feel like Kaser Sose is gonna be my new landlord! So, yes, the hunt continues. My west coast contact has been helping me, even volunteering her address so I don't look like some redneck fresh off of the hay truck *Well, Orange Truck, I AM in Florida............and why is it when I say Peach truck, Greg Allman curls in the corner and cries for an hour? I dunno* So I keep crackin. I look all the time, and I know I'll get sumtin. Keep ya posted.
A lil Tuesday Tidbit for ya. I wanted to drop some Actors on ya that I think deserve a lil Bento Props:
Jeremy (I'm NOT Dave Matthews) Piven: Check out the Movie PCU, many people didn't see it and it is damn funny!
Steve Buschemi: Check him out in "FARGO", one of my Favorite movies! (Also has William H Macy, who has great taste in grocery items, ask me how I know this sometime)
Elizabeth Banks: She can do Comedy (40 Year old Virgin), Drama (Invincible), and was even in Spiderman, and shes a hottie to!
Well, feel free to add more, I only scratched the surface. If I start talking movies, I'd be here all day!

So, The video shoot is DONE
Its a wrap. We finished primary shooting of the video saturday. It was loads of fun. We shot in an old cemetary in St. Cloud, Fl. Then went to a vacant house and shot there as well. I did pretty much everything including building a makeshift rain machine from a sprinkler and a parcan stand *The DP was pretty impressed, BTW* They also shot a "Making of the video" Documentary which I was on a few times including setting up the rain machine. I hope I make it in cause I can use it as a reference for future gigs! Well, more later gang, I unfortunatly have a few more days of this crappy job, so its back to my cubicle...........................for now
Later

More Video Fun!!!
Well, Gang
Tomorrow is the second day of shooting on the music video. We are scheduled to shoot first in an old cemetery and then in an abandoned house. Don't think its gonna be as spooky as it sounds, since the video is about her losing her lover. I guess the dude is dead! Well, I'll give ya updates on the shoot when I get back tomorrow, but hey, sounds exciting!

My contacts on the West Side
So I have a few people helping me and my move on the west coast. First, My friend, Shawna, who is helping me get a place out there. Her help has been invaluable and I hope she knows how much I appreciate what she is doing since she is mega busy herself.
Next is Michael Uva, the author of the Grip Book, the Bible on gripping. I have been emailing and calling him about Grip gigs and he has given me advice as well as many leads and a shot at working for him as well. I just gotta pass the audsition.....Yes, like actors, grips gotta show what they can do before they get on a gig. He is also helping me get into the Union. His help has been invaluable as well. Looks like things are starting to come together Gang. I'll keep ya updated on that as well as the Video shoot, which is wrapping up on Saturday, and the Movie, Dead red Rose, which has been rescheduled AGAIN, but the DP wants to do it right, and well, what the DP wants..............
