How weird is this...

I just got back from spending the afternoon with the stylist that was hired to take me shopping for new cloths to wear while shooting this new series. Apparently my wardrobe which mostly consist of stuff I have been wearing for the last few years is getting out of date and I needed to find some new stuff to wear for the show.

I guess it's a good idea to buy some new cloths once in a while but my closets are full of stuff I still have from when I use to own my own skate shops.I haven't bought anything new to wear in years.I like all my old cloths and it's not like the piles of cloths I have are filled with holes or anything like that.

I had a good time this afternoon though.Jennifer was very cool and it was hilarious to go from store to store with an actual stylist who has been hired to help me shop.We went into le chateau and one of the dudes working there knew who I was. We ended up buying a couple of shirts there but not before the dude pitched me on four or five idea's he had for my show. I think I even heard Jennifer laughing as the dude continued pitching me idea's as I was changing in the change room. After four hours of shopping I left Jennifer to finish buying some other stuff she wanted to get. As hilarious,as weird and as much fun as it was to hang out with her for the afternoon,I had to get back here to my hotel and have a beer on the street side patio and relax.

We finished shooting at around 2:00am which made for a sixteen hour day and we are back at it again on Sunday. They have me shacked up here in a swanky downtown Ottawa hotel and I'll probably stay in tonight and enjoy the good life. I need to be well rested and recharged before Sunday morning when we head out to shoot are second episode for the series.

The production company and producer of this series is based here in Ottawa so we planned to shoot the first episode right here in Ottawa. Sunday we are traveling to a little tourist town a couple hours away and I'm not sure where we are shooting the third episode on Tuesday but it will be within driving distance from Ottawa.

The next three episodes will be shot in a different region of the country but I don't think that has been determined as of yet. On Wednesday I fly back to Toronto and will be spending the rest of the week shooting yet another short film for In The Can with JR DIGS and then on Saturday I will be flying out again to shoot three more episodes of "Be Real with JR DIGS".

Lot of stop happening "with JR DIGS" these days hey guys. Keep spreading the word and I'll touch base with you guys again soon.
