Arkansas

I made it to Arkansas.  So far my trip has been great.  The place I'm staying is fantastic!  It has a pool in the backyard and an elliptical exercise machine in the family room.  I've met several of the other cast members and we've had some rehearsals.  The crew members that I've met so far are really cool too.  They are working on getting some exterior shots and B Roll shots today.  Tomorrow we have more rehearsals, then we have Monday off and we shoot on Tuesday.  

Today's the Day!

I leave tonight to go to Arkansas for 3 weeks to shoot The River and I can't wait!  I fly to Dallas and then Little Rock tonight and arrive around 8AM.  I am being picked up from the airport and driven to where they are putting me up.  

I am really excited to meet the rest of the cast and crew.  It is going to be such a fun project and it sounds like Zac, the producer, has gotten a lot of good people involved.  I don't know what the internet access situation will be like but if I can blog, I will.  

Thank you for all of your support!

Dad!

Last night my Dad called me from a Padres game in San Diego.  He was there on business and he said that he didn't have a rental car or he would have come see me.  I was like "Dad, I have a car!" 

So one of my roommates and I abandoned the pizza we were about to make and we hopped in the car and drove down to see him.  It was about a 2 hour drive and we had both worked all day and had to work today so it was a very quick trip.  We ate dinner with my dad when we got down there, then we met some of his work team and then hung out in the hotel room for awhile.  He ran lines with me and then we went to bed.  

My roommate and I got up at six and drove back and I made it to work with about 6 minutes to spare!  It was such a nice treat to get to see family unexpectedly in the middle of the week.  

Wedding

Two of the people that I work with got married to each other in Palm Desert on Saturday. It was a really fun wedding because the whole office went. We spent the day at the hotel pool and then the wedding was in the evening. It was a beautiful ceremony and dinner was delicious.

Yesterday I came back early and had brunch with a friend I have not seen in forever. Then I spoke with the producer of "The River" to square away a few last minute things. I spent the afternoon picking up a few things for my trip and then I went to dinner with a friend of mine from "The Riches." We went out for Korean BBQ and it was so much fun. It was an all you can eat deal and you have choices of 10 different types of meat. They bring the meat to your table raw and then you cook it over a charcoal grill. It was absolutely delicious.

Today at work I will be training the girl who is filling in for me for the three weeks that I am shooting. I can't believe it is less than a week away! I am so excited!
