Much Music

I had an elaborate plan to post videos I’ve taken of where I live and my walk to school etc all to realize (after preparing yesterday’s post) that I can’t post my own videos unless I upgrade for $50.  I can post youtube videos though.

Here in Los Angeles there is always something going on.  I was sitting in Starbucks the other day and the guy seated near me appeared to be a writer suffering from writer’s block.  He said hello, I mentioned writer’s block…small talk, and that was that.  He left.  Then he came back with a friend wearing a coat that looked like it had been rained on a thousand times (so did his hair).  They said they wanted to cast me in the movie they were making that was going into production and going to “start shooting” right away.  They handed me a printed picture of what appeared to be a screen shot and pointed at the scantily clad girl in the car next to rained on guy and said “there we think you’d be perfect for that part”. Yes I was suspicious to begin with because you never know.  I said “well do you have a card?”  Neither of them could produce their card: “oh don’t you have yours?… oh… uh do you? no uh”.  I said “well you can understand why I would be a little reluctant to accept any offer here in Hollywood where there’s always something going on.  How about a website of the production company or one where I can read about the movie or what you’ve done in the past?”.  They said “uh yah add me on Facebook.  You can see my website on there.  My name is…”.  —-Yeah OH Sure! THEN you can see where I’m from, have my contact info, etc.
He saw on my laptop that I was on the internet so they seemed to pause to wait for me to add them I made sure I didn’t go back to that tab so they couldn’t see my last name and opened a word document and wrote out their names.  ”Ok yeah I’ll have a look and be in touch”.  They were leaving and rained on guy says “ok yeah we’ll be in touch, call me okay.”  Right with the number you never gave me. Hmm.  I definitely googled their names.  One can’t be found but is on Facebook (don’t worry I never added them) and has that screenshot as his profile picture but you can’t see absolutely anything else on his page as it’s all hidden.  And the other I did see his name connected to a movie or two through google search but when I watched one of the shorts it looked like something I made in junior high and was definitely the suspected material in some scenes.

When Lyndsey visited me back in October we were walking down Melrose to check out some of the shops.  We were stopped by a production crew surrounded by cameras set up on tracks inside a sweet skate shop and asked if we could play extras in a music video.  We walked in checked out the scene asked some questions and played our parts.  Lyndsey never did get to buy the dress we went to Melrose to look for but hey we’re superstars in a music video now.  Let the royalties roll in.  No not really we never got paid.  Volunteering is what a good christian does before they head to church right?  Actually before we mentioned we had to leave to head to church the mother/crew person mentioned that their family was Catholic and she was humming some good ol’ christian music to herself.

Enjoy the music video.  I don’t think it’s on Much Music but apparently he’s big in the Latino music scene.  We were supposed to be checking him out as he came in the store.  Then when his posse came by we were supposed to flirt with them.  I burst out laughing while watching this for the first time this morning because my flirting looks more like I’m making coffee conversation about the latest discoveries in the benefits of Vitamin D.  I might need some flirting lessons from flirty girl in the black jacket.
