Friday night I went out to a screening of my friends' web series, Freeloaders (sadly not available online), which I helped fund ages ago and which turned out really well. I've gone to a couple web series screenings now and I've yet to dislike any of the ones my various friends have created. Clearly I have very good taste in people.
I swear this isn't a porno shoot. Yet.
Early Saturday morning I drove down to Inglewood to take part in my second YouTube video shoot, which was a much more enjoyable than the first a few months back. Unlike my first experience, which had me sitting around doing nothing for the better part of eight hours, we jumped straight into shooting and continued doing so for almost the full eight hours. We did two different scenes, the first of which I was very happy with, in part because I got to look like this for part of it:
Getting that grey out of my hair involved washing it with hand soap in the bathroom sink, but it was totally worth it. When the video eventually goes up I'll be sure to post it here.
My Saturday evening was actually quadruple booked--a play and three different birthdays--but I was so exhausted from the shoot I just went home and laid about until I fell asleep.
Sunday I went out to the Bills backer bar in Pasadena and got to stay for the entire game, which was a stomping of the poor New York Jets. Then I went home and played some multiplayer Sid Meier's Civilization: Beyond Earth with my friend Brian before he came over in person to draft magic and then play the expansion for Lords of Waterdeep I just purchased. It's the first time I've bought an expansion for a game I don't own, but I'm going to remedy that shortly by using the money I got from the Youtube shoot to buy my own copy of the base game. :D
And finally, during our evening of board gaming I made and ate an entire pepperoni pan pizza. It was delicious, and I've got enough dough to make another one tomorrow. I was planning to do it tonight, buy my friend scored me a ticket to an industry only reading of a new musical, Masque of the Red Death, by Wendy Pini. If you're not familiar with that name, she is one of the two people, along with her husband, behind Elfquest, which is the graphic novel series that got me into comic books as a kid. I'm totally stoked to see the reading tonight.
So yeah, a good weekend was had by all.
