First Day Of Shooting

today is the first day of actual shooting for our video. yesterday we got up and yet again ran around los angeles like chickens with our heads cut off.

we went down to melrose place and hollywood area to try and find some sweet clothes, and it definately seemed like an alright place. i couldn't hang out becuase we had to drop rob off at the lawyers, and then drive all over the place to get some sweet drums for max. we went to drum doctors and got the set, and then took it to my friend eric's house so he can help us get it down to san diego. it was good to see eric again, and i got to see his mom for the first time in almost 2 years. she's awesome, so it was real nice, hopefully we can head up there on monday and get a chance to see them again, and maybe even his whole family...

after we got the drums off, it was yellfest, because we had to go back to hollywood, and get rob and then drop maggie off at a meeting, pick everyone else up, and then come back and pick maggie up. everyone was pissed off and yelling and mad, and it was just insanity. the last 2 days have been wayyyy too much stress... but now that i'm down in san diego, it's definately a much better feeling.

we met with the director last night after our meetings and long day and finally got to hang out with them and talk about the video. so we figured out our wardrobe and the schedule and everything. we're all really excited about it. my scene is tonight though and i'm worried... i have to stretch out something that sould take 10 seconds over 10 minutes, like running towards someone in slow motion for real.... its gonna be hard.. i even have to do a backup scene tomorrow night in case i can't do it... because aparently its real hard...

so we went down to where shane is doing his scene at a bridge, and they rented a crashed car and everything.... ryan had to smash the windshield with a sledge hammer, it was pretty badass. i'm stoked for that whole thing.


anyway, i've gotta get going to the first part of shooting, but i'll keep everyone updated. and tonight we're going to eat at sombrero's... blink 182's favorite burrito place, so it'll be a fun evening.
