Banana Man and seven days afterwards...
Yep, for those of you who saw on Tv, that giant Banana walking around last Sunday night while the Much Music Awards were on, well it's true. It was me!
My late night show has been added to the new fall lineup for the E Network in the fall and E is big on red carpet stuff so I have to start shooting more stuff at red carpet events ect! I was racking my brain trying to come up with a way to make going to the awards show last sunday a bit more interesting and I gotta tell you, dressing up in a giant Banana suit just might be the most awesome thing I have done in years.
People loved "Banana Man", people wanted to meet "Banana Man" and hundreds and hundreds of people wanted to take their picture with "Banana Man"! I haven't felt so loved in years. Expect to see more of "Banana Man" kids!
By around this time last Sunday night I was then on my way up north to the cottage. I had my new laptop loaded up with about nine hours of footage and so up north I went for a good night sleep and a busy day of editting on the dock scheduled for Monday.
I spent most of Monday and Tuesday in a muskoka chair either editting footage or kickin back and taking it easy. However, most of Wednesday was spent in the Huntsville hospital! That's right the hospital!!!!!
On Tuesday night we went out for dinner and a friggin piece of beef got stuck in my throat. This has actually happened before to me but every other time I managed to flush it down somehow within an hour or so. By 5:000am on Wednesday after pounding my chest and doing everything else I could think to do over the last eight hours to dislodge this pesky piece of meat, I finally decided to go to the hospital.
All the things the doctor tried that he claimed usually work to resolve this problem, weren't working at all on me so they had to take me in to see a surgeon. To make a long gross story a little shorter, lets just say that the rest of Wednesday and all of Thursday were spent back at the cottage sleeping and eating popsicles.
Friday I make my way back home to try and catch up on stuff that wasn't done over the last couple days and I went to bed early because I had to to up first thing Saturday morning.
I spent the entire weekend working on another short film which we rapped up with about three hours ago. Aside from getting way way to much sun, it was an amazing weekend. I'm totally exhasted now so I'm going to sign off here and tell you guys moe about this weekends shoot another day.
It all started seven days ago with Banana Man!
