It’s Friday! Moving back into my house tomorrow. Still on the market, but the wife is ready to move out of my parents house. #
don’t get me wrong. Tammy and my parents get along great! She is just ready for some space of her own #
New Twitter Tools for Wordpress. Excited. Now I can do a weekly post of Tweets instead of a daily. Although daily yields higher page views. #
Busy weekend. Moved everthing out of both storage units. Most of it is now in our garage. Power to the basement seems to have gone MIA. #
Gah. New twitter tools seems to have gone mad and posted a week ending post 11 times on my blog. #
Twitter Tools was going to post the weekly digest another dozen times. Lets go back to the daily option. #

Doing a PSA

jcroft — Fri, 14 Nov 2008 14:54:13 +0000

Earlier this week, I received a call from Bryan Ridarick who I believe is a student at the Art Institute of Atlanta. He is shooting a 30 second PSA for The Foundation for a Smoke Free America. I believe I saw the audition notices, but had conflicts and dismissed it.

Bryan called me because Teresa Sanson, who I am working with on Bright Flames referred him to me. Bryan said he receive a lot of younger people, and not what he was looking for.

After visiting my site, he called me and were able to work out some dates with the rest of the cast. Next Saturday we will shoot.

FADE IN

EXT – FRONT OF NEW HOUSE – MID DAY

View of the front yard with a for sale sign that has a sold sticker across it.

A person walking in front of the house at a distance.

INT – POOL AREA – MID DAY

(BRENDA invites her friend over named DON along with other friends to hang out and have a cook out by the pool. Don brings his friend SCOTT over to the open house. Don gets Scott’s attention in noticing Brenda. Don and Scott are standing together at a distance from Brenda having a drink. Don lightly hits Scott on the upper arm to get Scott’s attention.)

DON: Hey she’s hot.

(Scott’s attention is fully focused on Brenda with great interest as she is socializing with friends.)

SCOTT: Yeah!

(As Don and Scott are watching Brenda, Don looks at Scott and asks Scott if he wants to go and talk to Brenda.)

DON: You want to go over there and talk to her?

(Scott doesn’t hesitate to answer with Yeah. Scott also wants to go and meet Brenda.)

SCOTT: Yeah!

DON: Go over there now!

(Even though Scott wants to meet Brenda he still stands next to Don. Don motivates Scott to go over and meet Brenda.)

(As Brenda is socializing she takes out a cigarette from her pocket. Scott becomes disappointed and disinterested in getting to really know Brenda. Scott has a condescending look on his face.)

SCOTT: Oh no, she smokes!
The foundation for a smoke free America.

Bright Flames Troubles

jcroft — Thu, 30 Oct 2008 13:14:24 +0000

The first attempt to go to the TV25 studio for a tech run was thwarted because the studio was closed for repairs and failed to tell anyone. We were scheduled on a Monday that week.

What we planned on doing is a tech rehearsal. Create the set, light and sound and some lines, just to get an idea of how this would work.

Yesterday we tried again. We were originally scheduled at 5:30 PM and then rescheduled to 3:00 PM. They double booked that time slot and we waited. The station manager said that the show currently filming would be done in sections so they would be out soon. So we waited.

And waited.

So after two hours, I finally left to eat and go to Bartending School. I hope Robert was able to get in and plan things out. It does not sound like the Station is well run.
