L.A. Trip – Day 7
Flight home. Junkie time. Yep, got on the plane, a cool technology consultant guy sat two seats over and tried to convince me to act scary so nobody would sit next to us. "Roll up your sleeve and show off your tats, I'll do the crazy eyes" We thought we were good to go, but right after they closed the doors to the plane, a woman [...]
L.A. Trip – Day 6
Put in four hours at the WGA Library with my new buddy, Javier, at the helm. Read through that pilot, four scripts, and another pilot. Good times. Ready to get home and write. Got back to the pad and took a short nap.
L.A. Trip – Day 5
I got to the Beverly Hills/Westwood area early this morning. So I had some time to kill before my meeting with Blake Snyder. I stopped in at the much lauded Writer's Store. I hadn't been there in years, but I've ordered numerous books, brads, paper, and other accessories from them. They have any thing you'd ever need for your [...]
L.A. Trip – Day 4
I rolled up to the WGA Library at 7000 W 3rd in the SOFAX area. Why go there? Because they have produced TV and Film script that you can read there. You can park underneath the WGA Foundation building (cheap, make sure you get your ticket validated), go upstairs, say hi to the front desk dudes, and head to the lockers, where you can [...]
L.A. Trip – Day 3
It's Sunday, and I spent it with my friend (an agent at CAA), and her husband, (a Film Editor) at the Sherman Oaks Galleria. I ate a giant belgian waffle at the Cheescake Factory. Oh wait, in the menu it was listed as GIANT BELGIAN WAFFLE. I'm glad they warned me. I ate the whole thing, drank a ton of coffee, then we dorked around looking [...]
L.A. Trip – Day 2
Got home late last night. Woke up early and met up with Misher Films Exec and Former NWSG guest, Kevin Chang. He took me surfing for the first time ever. The best part of surfing? Cute girls who like surfers. I was standing out on the street, holding a board, no clue which end was up or down, and got hit on by a hot chick. Kevin was [...]
L.A. Trip – Day 1
Today was a travel day. I flew direct from Sea-tac to Burbank. Of course, Southwest Airlines thinks direct involves a long stopover in Oakland. The flight was OK. Nothing stellar. Flight crew was grumpy. Full flight. Talked to a nice guy at the airport who just underwent carpal tunnel surgery and was flying back home to recuperate. Picked up [...]
This week’s event
Sorry I've been out of the blogging space. Between a big rewrite, developing a TV series, family in town, web design gigs, and fighting off a cold, I've been buried. I'm excited to report that although we lost Abby Ex (from Hey Day Films), we found a sub in Jake Kirily, an exec whose company, Mosaic, has worked on a couple of little [...]
