Pre-production 2

We have a movie. It's going to be fantastic.

All we need now is free food to feed people.

On Pre-Production. Sort of.

Making a movie is an amazing thing. You should try it.

I'll share something.

Sometimes in the beginning you can get so lost in the scramble you don't stop to look up. Balls deep in emails, text messages, and trying to make the pieces fit.

I'm taking classes at coldtowne theater and one of their phrases is "improv is life". Wait. Maybe it's "improv is everything". Hold. See, now I think it's something else. Either way you should check out coldtowne.

What was I saying? Movies, ok. The point was that "movies are life" and "everything is everything". Perhaps if I would have payed more attention in class and "applied myself" instead of making people laugh, I would have the ability to articulate my thoughts on this matter. I know, I 'll use a movie quote:

"Life goes by pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it."

Here's what I'm saying:

Take a step back.

Remember to breathe.

Enjoy the things that matter.

What a day.

From a really shitty start, something beautiful has occurred.

Damn, I'm eloquent.

Do you have this?

Working on a movie and need to borrow:

an old cooler





















lawn chairs




















an 8 track player

a sprinkler

Let me know if you have any of these things and you can be my hero.

I'd only need the stuff for a few days.

Thanks

What song is this?

I know it's Octopus Project, but what is the name of the track?

I told you so...

Congrats to Coldtowne for earning an award from the Austin Chronicle.

They deserve continued success, wealth and happiness.

Did I mention they're fucking hysterical?

Best Comedy Troupe: ColdTowne
What do you get when a bunch of displaced NOLA kids start doing improv locally, gaining enough exposure and word-of-mouth to turn the ever-empty Space in to something useful: a place to laugh? You get ColdTowne, changing tragedy into comedy, their fate into a movement of laughter, right here in our lucky town. No one could ever be grateful for Katrina, but our readers are very grateful for ColdTowne coming to our town.

I've been taking improv classes at Coldtowne and LOVE them.

They're having a free class to show you how much fun it is.


I HIGHLY recommend it.

This American Laugh

First of all, I'd like to point out how clever this blog post title is. On so many levels, you know?

If you've heard "this american life" before, you will laugh at this clip.
If you've heard this clip before and didn't laugh, please delete my number.

 

Last Day

Today is my last day at my current job.

Tonight's preview:

Paris on Letterman

Letterman should do more of this:

Three more days.

I have three more work days at my current job. Usually, I'm a little nervous when I quit a job. Thoughts of whether or not I made the right decision run through my head.


Not this time.
