A Flashback Friday Afternoon...
What a crazy ass day so far and I still haven't received an email from worm-boy who didn't give me his real email address.Oh well,what are ya going to do I guess. I'm looking forward to a chilled out night which means I'll probably go see a flick because I haven't been able to do that yet this week.
If you guys are staying in to keep warm and toasty tonight,the episode on Tv is another one of my original episodes shot in front of a live audience and featuring special guest Pat Mastroianna, who is best known for his role as Joey Jeremiah on Degrassi Jr High.As I flash back for a moment I recall that I called him just hours before the live taping so it was really quite awesome that he even agreed to show up for the taping never mind tolerating me calling him Joey the entire time.
Earlier that morning I was on the phone with Jason PriestlyÂs people. It looked like he wasactuallyy going to come on the show but I needed to meet with him just to give him the low-down on my new show, Bla Bla Bla! The entire day was the craziest goose chase you could ever imagine which ended with me alone in some underground S&M place where he was supposed to be shooting this movie. I wandered thru the dark calling out hello but no one answered.He wasnÂt there. I never did track him down and he obviously didnÂt do the show but if you ever run into me sometime,ask me about the rest of this story,it's pretty damn funny!
After realizing that this Jason Priestly thing wasnÂt going to happen,I ended up calling everyone I knew who might know someone who could come on the show that night. I had promised all my friends that if they came to the taping to help fill up the audience that night,there would be a cool surprise guest and weÂd all go out for beers afterwards. The novelty of actually seeing my show on TV had worn off for most of them by that point.
After Pat agreed to come on the show I got a call back from Matt of The Flashing Lights who said they could come on the show as well. I went from no guests to too many in 15 minutes and we all ended up having a blast.If you guys watch the show tonight you will see this wild looking girl in a Dracula get-up in the audience.That's another story all together......
Have a great weekend guys.
