7 days
well it's been awhile since I've had time to post anything
alot has happened since I really wrote...
my mom and her friend, my aunt and cousin came for a few days...it was really good to hang out with them, i'm glad I had some time to spend with them. i picked them up from the airport and we went to eat at "the ivy" in beverly hills - way too expensive and the food wasn't that wonderful (mine was good...but everyone wasn't thrilled) i'll pass on that place again. we walked down the street to a store called "kitson" this is suppose to be a store where a lot of celebs shop and what not...the girls told me. i did believe them because of hug hefner and kathy lee griffen - e! news was there as well. i then proceed to take them on the greatest tour of LA ever done - all the beaches, the hills, downtown, hollywood, celeb homes, city lookout, etc...little pay, haha, jk i really enjoyed it
we went over to chris' apartment that night (eric and I) for our first real LA party....thankfully the bouncer let us in without any questions - considering it was chris and the rest of the 7 people didn't mind that we were there. we did enjoy hanging out - learned how to play texas hold'em
the next day my mom and I had good trip down to MEXICO - we drove to san diego and I had to drive into mexico, just to say i've driven across the boarder. I'VE DONE IT and i'll never do it again. it took milliseconds to drive into the country - 4 hours to get back to the US. we got a little turned around because the only sign we could make out was "san diego". well the signs stoped after a while and we had to rely on my compass in the truck - we knew to head north. hundreds of mexican children were asking for money - they would come to the truck and put their hands on your window, some would do stunts or juggle...anything to get money.
mom and i didn't get out of the truck - we had some choc. covered cashews to hold us over for the wait in line. i really did enjoy our time though - even in mexico as we got back in to san diego, we drove to cornada island - this place is beautiful. we took a pic in front of a hotel where thomas edison personally installed the lighting system - mom liked the fact that marylin monroe starred in a movie filmed at this place.
on monday our class had a field trip to California Edison - the power company for LA. there we had class in thier light lab - it was really nice and very state of the art. that's about all of i have to say about it. i met up with the girls again (with eric) and we went to sharkey's for dinner then went to see Monster House in 3D (good film - it was fun)
The girls left on tuesday to return home and I went TeenNick to observe the filming of a show. they were shooting segments with Courtney Cox and Tim Allen to air on television - this was to promote the upcoming film ZOOM. it was cool to see these guys up close, and the set was decorated very well.
I left on wednesday for Monterray, CA for SPIRIT WEST COAST. this was a huge festival with many Christian artists and speakers. I volunteered to be a camera man for one of the stages - i got in FREE. Crowder, the Myrid, downhere, Casting Crowns, newsboys, jeremy camp, joy williams...etc... it was good just spending some time to pray and relax. the last night i climbed a hill that overlooked the festival - while the newsboys were playing. it was cold, but amazing to see 30,000 people worshiping. THE LIGHTS WERE COOL TOO... they used versitubes for two of the night concerts. on the way back i drove down CPH (california pacific highway) and saw what looks like a miniture version of new zealand ( im guessing ). the ocean water crashed onto the mountain side that i was driving on...it went by too quick
dave ramsey also helped the time pass - mom gave me the cd's of his siminars and i'm goin to be a millionaire at retirement. that's right folks - be a millionaire by the age of 65!!!! *PLUG he is really good to listen too, had great ideas that night i went and helped out at MOSIAC / it was good to see those guys again...i love the people there after church we went over to ben's house and hung for a short time.
monday...class
monday night .... HILLSONG UNITED so i drove by at 5 and saw the "mile long" line...i tought about skipping it, but i knew that would be a mistake - and did God show me that he helped me make a good decision, oh yes so i was in line myself ( eric at work ) and i met a hispanic girl who is a senior in high school... she was good at talking, so it was akward at all. turns out the line was so long the the 4500 seat center filled up - so they were putting us into another room to watch a live feed of the concert...man, waste of time?? as we were walking - my friend saw her pastor behind the gate and he let us in, took us through a back door and we were in the main concert room. YES!!!! she goes to church there, so she new all the back ways and we finally ended up on the floor to see HILLSONG UNITED. WOW, how crazy was this - i expected to not even get in. i got a cd that is not even being sold in the US yet, MIGHTY TO SAVE. heck yes
so tuesday i went in to work and began editing a demo reel for one of the Lighting Designers. we went to Bible Study that night (small meeting), but good. eric and I went to see Talladega Nights afterward....hmmmm...not the best of Mr. Ferral. it was good, but just a one timer we did see a friend that we know in the film...he was a sheriff at the first winning race.
today went to work and class .... about it i did get done with that reel

love you guys - as my Dad would say - 7 days left
