Oh man.
I have a lot to talk about.
I'll start with some pictures, though.
Snacks on a Plane. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. (I made a joke.)
Mountains.
My room.
My new tagline. Josh: Sounds like whoop, looks like strobe light.
So anyway. I neglected to take my camera to the soundstage today, so I'll have to get those pictures in tomorrow.
I woke up around 9 this morning, having gone to bed a lot earlier than I expected. With our first call being noon, I decided to head down to the Promenade at Howard Hughes Center, which was basically just a mall. They have a theater, IMAX and a Borders... nothing too special. I saw on my little brochure, though, that there was a waffle place hidden in there somewhere. So I went for a waffle. Three bucks for a thick, sweet waffle about the size of my hand. Not too bad. I head over to Borders. As soon as I find the graphic novel aisle, Kevin calls me. I walk back to the hotel, jump in the van and head over to In-N-Out Burger. In-N-Out has been praised by so many of my friends. Four things on the menu. Incredible burger and fresh cut fries. Can't beat it.
After burgers, we went to the studio stage. Sony/Columbia Pictures stages. We were setting up for rehearsals inside Stage 15. Historical Stage 15, I found out, when I checked the list of movies made there. I'll list what I can remember and then share a picture tomorrow. Hm: The Wizard of Oz. Rocky. Hook. Spiderman. SpaceBalls. Then about twenty more that I really should be remembering now.
THE. WIZARD. OF. OZ.
We tooled around for a bit, unloaded what gear was there and proceeded with setup. Looks like half our stuff will be getting here on Tuesday for a Wednesday start. Kinda sucks. We set up and tested what we could. We have a huge square LED screen behind a stage with a ramp running from right to left. Two screens on either side, which aren't here yet. Tons of lights and one gigantic disco ball.
I met a lot of my crew today. Lots of good people who have worked on tons of good stuff already. I'm the newbie. Arnold has kind of taken me under his wing and started story after story of tour horrors and surprises. We all went to Sizzler after work tonight and pigged on a little steak and a little salad bar. I picked up a memory card reader, so I'll be able to post pictures more often.
Ok. That's enough for now.

"Snacks on a plane"... I had a good laugh at that one.
