(From Saturday, March 21, 2009)
We’re in Baker City killing many birds with one stone and maiming a few squirrels and raccoons along the way. We have some business to tend to with clients. The timing couldn’t be better- it’s Wine Weekend at the Geiser Grand Hotel. Great networking and relation building opportunities. I also came out here to seek refuge and finish the last 20 or so pages of my script without interruptions...
On the way Brett and I started brainstorming ideas, kicking around thoughts on story ideas and Brett came up with a great story that took over the dinner conversation, only to be fueled by all the martinis and wine we drank along the way. I woke up at 4AM still thinking about it and couldn’t get back to sleep for a few hours. I wanted to get out of bed and “get to work” but knew Brett would kill me. At breakfast the discussion picked up right where it left off the night before.
Maybe it’s because Spring is officially here, the days are longer, warmer weather- I could go on and on- but I am suddenly so energized and refreshed ready to get back to working on a film. Life is good.
On a tangent- next weekend is Ghost Hunting weekend at the hotel. After all it is haunted so it only makes sense to have TAPS investigators come out and lead investigations. We’ve had a few “spooky” encounters here but nothing as of late (personally). I’ll throw this out- take it or leave it- our house is haunted. That’s another blog for another day. And would make for some great video footage... Anyway, it’s out in the open now.

We got some great footage today in Haines, Oregon. A thunderstorm is passing overhead and dumping rain as I write this. The Blazer game is at half-time, I’m on page 90 of my script- which is an understatement since the last back up to idisk can’t be opened so there’s a page and a half missing/floating around in cyber-land. On tap this evening is a 4 course dinner paired with a variety of wine.
