JUST ANOTHER DAY?

Today was a an interesting day. I had to wake up at 6:30 in the AM and for those that know me well, know this is not normal WHATSOVER! I'm usually in bed by 4am and up by 930am. I like working late nights because the phone doesn't ring and there are rarely any distractions.

I woke up early because I had offered to help do some casting for a motion picture film called "The Outside," currently filming here in San Diego. Check out the movie's website by clicking here There's a scene in the movie where the main actor is signing autographs inside of a board shop, so they needed a few gals to act as extras and one of them would have a line in the movie. By the way, I was asked to find people in less then 24 hours! So I busted out my 'no-signal receiving' cell phone to make a few calls as soon as I received the request and within a few hours, a squad was formed.

Here's where it gets interesting. After I told the producers I could help find extras, they then ask if I could be an extra for a scene at the beach. I was told there would be a bonfire style ceremony and a paddle out into the ocean where another ceremony would be held. He claims they were short on talent and it would really help them out If I agreed to be in the scene.

WHAT? ISN'T IT THE MIDDLE OF WINTER? THE WATER IS PROBABLY 30 OR 40 DEGREES!!

So what do I say after these thoughts wander through my mind? Like a dumb ass, I say YES and accept his offer. "Do you have a wet suit?" I reply back, "no." "You're probably going to want one" he says. I mutter to myself, 'no kidding.'

I make the call time for the first location this morning which was 730am. I left the location at about 10am because I had a meeting scheduled at 11am in Rancho Bernardo and at that time, I was in Ocean Beach. I race home for a Superman style quick change and head over to Studio West. Studio West is a beautiful venue for producing music and after meeting with them, I'm excited to see where our path may lead.

I left Studio West at 11:45am and raced back down to the Kearny Mesa area for a lunch meeting with Douglas Foxworthy, a very accomplished and intelligent music business guru. All I can say is the meeting was POWERFUL and I can't wait to see what the future holds. That meeting was done at about 1:30 and from there, we were off to La Jolla Shores for the bonfire ceremony and paddle out scenes.

To make a longer story shorter...in a few hours we got the shots needed at the final locations and I was able to find my way out of having to paddle out in the COLD ASS OCEAN! I'll give myself a pat on the back for that one!

After leaving the beach, we grabbed something to eat, ran a few errands, then finally made our way home. As Icecube would say "I can't complain, today was a good day!"
