Some days you're just too busy, even for Ross

This afternoon I went to Starbucks (yes, the same downtown Starbucks where I earlier this week fell off the curb) because oh em gee, we are having one long week and seriously, is it not Saturday morning yet? No? It's only Thursday afternoon? THEN I AM DEFINITELY GOING TO NEED A COFFEE.

As I approached the Starbucks, there were all these trucks. And shit. Lots of shit. For at least two city blocks prior to the Starbucks corner. And I'm thinking, "What the hell is all this shit?" and as I approach the Westin Hotel next door to the Starbucks, I see all this equipment that I recognize from the many, many film and video shoots I have been on in my career. And I realized they were filming the movie at the Westin today. They've been filming the movie all over town for the last week or so.

So while I'm waiting on my coffee, this guy I know named Nathan walks in. He's a sound guy that I worked with on the previously mentioned film and video shoots. I asked him if he was working on the movie and duh. So I said, "Anyone exciting over there?" And he says, "Alan Alda. Matt Dillon. David Schwimmer." And at that point, rather than asking if he'll take me over and let me check out the action I simply take my coffee, bid Nathan adieu and leave. I have a lot of shit to do after all, and it's only Thursday.



Editor's Note:
I'm not going to be around much the next few weeks. One of our clients has a huge, huge event starting Monday, Nov. 5 (which, BTW is my birthday) and it lasts until the following Tuesday, Nov. 13, during which time me and 70,000 of my closest friends will be spending some quality time together from 8 a.m. until like 10 at night.

Then, on that Wednesday (the 14th) and Thursday (15th), another client of mine is having a big huge event of their own. Which I will be working at. And so basically I will not get a day off for like twelve straight days and I will probably accumulate 150 hours during those days so it's entirely possible, nay, probable, that I won't be posting until, like, the week of Thanksgiving. See ya then.

That's too bad about you being uber-busy, especially on your birthday. I'll miss your posts while you're gone!

Oh, and I would totally make time for David Schwimmer, as I am a giant loser about Friends. Although when it comes to my meeting celebrities, I think the giant loser thing goes for most people I meet.

I'll miss you. Hope you've got some early birthday celebrating planned!

George Clooney was filming in my area, but I didn't know what it was I had seen until weeks later. Had I known, I'd have made the time, Starbucks be damned :)
