Too much to blog about today!
I was planning today to announce who my 1000th new friend was on facebook since I now have more than 1000 people who I can all call my friends but there is only one who I can call my 1000th! I was going to blog today about what I was planning to do for lucky # 1000 but that will now have to wait until another day.
Not because this isn't important stuff to blog about, its just that I got an interesting phone call today with some very interesting news that I want to share with you guys while the news is still fresh and fun to blog about.
At around 11:15am this morning I got a call from the producer of "Be Real with JR DIGS" which is the series I shot last year around this time. You guys remember...I use to blog about it all the time...it was my very first network produced series, we actually had a budget, we had a full crew, I was hired as the host bla bla bla! Well anyways, apparently the Gemini Awards for this year were announced this morning and well....quess who was nominated for Best Host in a Television series? Of coarse Rick Mercer and all the usual suspects but quess who else!!!!
What the what! Turns out I was announced this morning as one of five people nominated, crazy eh! Until Tim called me this mornng with the news, I had no clue that I was even being considered.
See over the last six years, I've always gone to the Gemini awards but I have always had to sneak in and worm my way close enough to the red carpet to maybe talk to some people and have some fun. One year I snuck a camera into the area where the bar was and talked to people, I remember that was kinda fun. Now this year it sounds like I'm going to actually be invited!!!!! How wierd is that!
I don't have a ton of details yet, I have no clue where the awards are even being held yet but I definately just wanted to tell you guys about the news. Cool eh!
I'm heading out for a couple beers right now to kinda celebrate and see some friends so I'll bonce back and blog more about this on Wednesday.
Interesting day I had today!
