Old School
Thought I was going to skip May entirely, didn't you? You should be so lucky, you scavenging bastards.
Apparently, I've been playing guitar for longer than even I remembered, which is a damn shame, considering that I'm really not all that good at it, comparitively speaking. My dad recently offered fairly irrefutable proof that my first guitar did, in fact, have Mickey Mouse on it, a fact I had apparently conveniently blocked. As per Mom's instructions, I have disguised her with one of those black bars, so that no one seeing this will realize that it's my mom there in that picture beside me...which it isn't. My mom. In that picture. Wearing a bandana. Tuning a guitar. Not her.
In other news, check out those pants I have on. Pimpin' ain't easy, bitches.
Hi, Mom, if that is in fact your real name. For the curious, that is 1979 you're looking at, and I am five or six years old. At the time. Not now.
In other news, E3 has come and gone and by all accounts went swimmingly. Again this year, Hero's Journey picked up several awards from various gaming news organizations.
In other semi-related news, I've been talking on and off recently to a high school friend of my brother's, who moved to this area a number of years before I did. Just before E3 crunch time started, he mentioned to me that he was involved in an independent film shooting in neighboring Illinois, and inquired whether I was interested in getting in on it. "No fucking way" is my general response to pretty much everything while crunch time's going on, and no exception here.
As it turned out, they filled that role anyway, but one of the leads walked right as crunch time ended, so long story shortened, I went out last Saturday and met with the producer, auditioned, and will be shooting my first scene on Friday or Saturday. The film is centered around a group of tabletop gamers, and is a dialogue-heavy comedy, similar to Kevin Smith's style. I'm not sure how much more I can say about the project for the time being, so I'll probably just give updates as I go. I liked everyone on the set that I've met so far, and I think the whole experience will be hell of fun, as Jeph likes to say.
