A picture is worth 1,000 words

More Updates...

Once again, I find myself super busy and not keeping up with my blog. (Not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing.) Next week is bound to slow down, but until then, here's the latest updates:

Last Day at "Last Call" - Thursday was my last day at "Last Call with Carson Daly". T'was a sad day :-( I'm really going to miss working with the entire crew there. It was alot of fun. As a gift, I recieved a "Last Call" T-shirt, hat, and other goodies! They also told me I was always welcome to come back and visit. Hopefully, I'll be seeing them again sometime soon on the backlot!

Alllll Alonneeeee - All of my friends, with the exception of one who is a half hour from my area, went home this morning for the holiday season. In some ways, this is good...it gives me time to do alot of things and catch up now that my busy-rush is almost all over. In some ways, this sucks...for obvious reasons :-)

Finding Work - Now that all of my jobs are on hiatus, or hold...due to the holiday season, I'm looking around for small, little gigs I can pick up this holiday season. It seems that I have better luck picking up stuff in Milwaukee than I do here! haha

Wyland Holiday Party - Tonight, thanks to my former elementary school art teacher, Mrs. Thatcher, I will be going to Wyland's Holiday Party in Santa Monica. I googled the hotel and it looks like I'm in for quite a treat. The hotel is right on the beach front...which I'm sure will make for some really neat picture opps! More to come on this tomorrow....

Updates...

Hello, all! Boy, it's been busy latley. Here's some major updates....

Control Room @ Carson - Today I got to switch out of my normal job at the "Last Call with Carson Daly" show and see what it was like to live in the control room for a day. As expected, I loved it. The control room is where all the action, excitement, pressure and screw ups....occur, and it's really neat! I had a chance to talk for a while with the director, Steve Paley, which was also a very cool experience, too.

CSI: Oz Debut - Tonight was the official debut of "CSI: Oz". The trailer, cold open, and show intro were all shown to a theatre of approximatley 500 people -- ranging from students, to industry professionals. The show went off without a hitch and people loved it. Of the 10 movies screened, mine was #6 in line...and was the only one to recieve a standing ovation at the end. The audience definatley connected to the plot and unique idea...and many encouraged me to start writing a full length movie script for the show. Here's the poster (with some modifications for all my blog readers!) that was used at the premiere...


Universal Movie Screening - Tomorrow I once again have the unique chance to go to yet another movie screening. The movie is called "Frost/Nixon", about Richard Nixon, the watergate scandal, and all that fun stuff.
