Coors Light Job

Started a new job. Coors Light. Pick Ups on Monday. Made it home in time to watch the OSU game. Go Cowboys. In Pasadena on Tuesday. An overweight guy in the agency named Ziggy talked my ear off about KU. Company move. Locking up on Wilshire is hard. Tried to watch the new Lost episode. Fell asleep on the couch. Wednesday. Happy birthday baby. Shot at a wedding gown shop and a Liquor store. Had to take 8 different highways to get to work. Company move. The previous owner of the liquor store where we were shooting sold the place one week before the winning lotto ticket was purchased there. Owners of the winning store receive $500.000. He heard about the winning ticket and had a stroke. I asked the new owner how he knew that. "He is my brother in law" the new owner said. We had Pizza for second meal. (second meal is when you shoot long enough that they have to pay for a second meal. Usually pizza or cold Baja Fresh.) Watched the KU game in the back of the truck on my laptop. Go Jayhawks. Wrapped Late. Free Coors Light in the Truck while we wrap. Got pulled over on the way home because I "fit the description of a fugitive." Got home late. Watched Lost all the way through. Thursday. Downtown. Shooting in a jewelry shop and a fake bakery with a cool ceiling. I love spending a whole day outside downtown. Saw a car I one day will own. Los Angeles Athletic Club does not look that athletic. The buildings down here are beautiful. Saw a pigeon with a club foot. Everyone speaks a different language. The traffic is loud. "Is there concrete all around or is it in my head?" I'm glad I don't live downtown. 20 Extras. Wrapped early. Home before the sun went down. Returns tomorrow. Ready for the weekend.

Finishing the Hertz Job.

The buildings in West Adams looked kinda nice as the sun went down. Fake minstrels singing on the side of Wilshire Boulevard. Got off work somewhat early. Picked up some chicken. Forgot the Asparagus. Went to Bed Early. Got to sleep in a little. Split shift. Rose Bowl in the morning. Descanto Gardens all evening. I heard that the gardens are beautiful, but we were there at night so I will have to go back to find out. Fake concert. 50 extras. Long wrap. Took us 3 hours to load the trucks. A "Precision" Driver backed into one of the PA's car. He tried to drive off, but we stopped him. I put Precision in quotes up there because that is actually what it says next to his name on the call sheet, but he was not precise enough to get out of the parking lot without hitting anyone. Downtown looked nice as I drove past on the 110. No traffic at midnight. Went to McDonald's got a burger. Finally got home to Lane. Went to sleep looking forward to the weekend.
