Great Day!

I got a job. I got a JOB! I GOT A JOB! I'm soooooo happy! It's for a company called GetFugu. I'm a tinny-bit bummed that it's not within the industry as I hoped, however, I am happy that February 1 I will be employed at a real job. The company has a totally rad environment. Jeans and t-shirt type culture, Macs everywhere and a nice long lunch. There's not a lot of employees now which is great because I'll be getting in at ground level. I'll be doing sales, which I'm good at, so I'm pretty stoked!

In addition to the great job news, I got to spend an hour and a half with my friend, Hugh, Fink during lunch. We ate at a delicious Mexican restaurant. I'm actually still craving the chicken tacos... mmmm. Anyway, Hugh is an Emmy award winning writer who wrote for seven years at SNL, was the co-creator of The Show Biz Show With David Spade and head writer for The Late Show With Craig Ferguson, among others. I get to learn a ton every time I get to hang out with Hugh and I'm so appreciative for the time he spends with me.  It's rare in life to have people who are so willing to help you out, especially in such a cut-throat, saturated industry. He's a truly a great guy. The past few months I've been working on a webseries I co-wrote with Joey Clarke, Jr.  I'm quite thankful Hugh was kind enough to play the character of Edward Tulip when we shot this in December. He was great.    

 

To cap off the day, I met with Joey and Sam Zvibelman (the director) tonight for a pre-shoot discussion and to go over our shoot Saturday.  Unfortunately, we weren't able to get 100% done (thanks rain) during two weekends in December we planned to shoot the webseries. So, we have to shoot one episode on Saturday. Tonight we tweaked the script a bit, made sure we were prepared for Saturday and ran through everything.  It all seems to be A-OK.  Let's just hope this rain stops because our it's an EXTERIOR shoot. Please pray. 

Wow... this might be my longest post ever... weird, but it was a BIG DAY! :@)
