Stuff you didn't see in the show......

Hey guys,I just got back from a late brunch with Vic at one of the local dinners I go to all the time.I had a western sandwich and large chocolate milk and then I slammed back a few cups of coffee and read the paper after Vic split to go to the gym or something.I forget where she said she was going this afternoon.

I'm going to spend the next hour or so responding to some of your emails.It's great to hear from you guys.Any thoughts on last nights episode?
Every year I go to the Gemini Awards Show to shoot footage but this year we shot a ton more footage for some reason.Maybe because I had a couple new volunteers with me who really knew what they were doing and I never once had to worry about the audio being ok or the exposure on the camera being tweaked,that sort of thing.It was fun just to walk around and talk to people instead of being a producer/director/lighting guy/audio engineer ect......

Thanks Steve.Thanks Dave Pennock.You guys are awesome! I really hope you guys had fun and would be willing to help me out like that again another time.Most people don't realize what goes into getting stuff set up and shot and put together to be aired as part of a television show, nor should they.It's always been the thing that seems to drag me down and prevent me from maybe making as good a show as I would like to.Wha wha wha....why am I talking about me right now.I want to talk about Dave and Steve and how much I appreciated their help at the Gemini Awards.After editting and putting everything together for the episode,I realized the show was a little less in your face than it sometimes is and the pace was a lot slower as well.Did you guys like it? Let me know!

Here is some footage shot at the Gemini's that wasn't in last nights episode.....

Kayvon is always fun to be around at these types of events.Keep in mind that I met Kayvon at a Blue Jays a few years ago when he came up to me and asked for my autograph.Kayvon collects autographs and has thousands of them.Kayvon will stand outside in the freezing cold for hours if it means he will eventually meet a famous person that he is interested in.For Kayvon to suddenly be up close and interviewing some of these people,it's almost too much for Kayvon to handle sometimes.
I could go on and on about Kayvon here but I will let you see some more footage of him at the Gemini Awards instead.....

I ended up taking Kayvon with me to the party after we rapped up shooting and we hung out until about 2:30am.It was hilarious.I don't have time to get into it right now but trust me when I tell you that it was the most fun I have had at a party like that in a long long time!

As for tonight,it looks like I'll probably just go see a movie or maybe we'll meet up with some friends and go out for dinner,I'm not sure yet.Have a great weekend everyone.
