No Invite, No Problem!
I can’t seem to fall asleep just yet, which sucks because I have to be up in the morning for a 9:15 meeting. After flipping through the channels for the last 25 minutes, I decided maybe I should get a new blog on the site. I’ve been so friggin’ overwhelmed lately, I haven’t had time to check out the message board, never mind update my blog as, and I apologize for that.
It’s been a really crazy couple weeks. I was supposed to be in Hawaii all this week shooting footage for the new show, but with all this crap going down right now with the school board and angry parents and threats of legal action, blah blah blah…I had to ditch the trip and stay around here to get things sorted out. Shane still went though. He was pumped. A friend of his went along with him as well, so they are going to shoot some footage without me. I think we might try and do some green screen stuff with it and just pretend like I was there.
There’s got to be some way I can spin this to make it work for us. It’s like the post I read on the board about how, despite the fact that everything is kind of screwed up right now for me, I have still managed to get an okay show on the air each of the last few weeks. Comments like that are really inspiring. It feels good to think that there are people out there who think that way about what I’m doing these days with the show. Let’s face it, The JR DIGS Show may have two more words in the title than it used to have, but it’s still just a stupid little independently produced TV show, without an actual network deal in place, or any budget to speak of.
Earlier tonight I was at the Gemini Awards and I found it hilarious to hear people talking about the lack of funding they have to produce their shows with. At least they were invited to the damn awards show – we had to sneak our way in again this year. Most of the cast of The Trailer Park Boys were living up to their reputations. They were half in the bag and having a pretty good time. They all know about my show and were cool about us videotaping a bunch of stuff with them. I’m hoping to get some of it in the show this week.
I think I’m going to try to get some sleep now, or at least flip through the channels for a few more minutes.
Later,
JR
