This weekend seemed to be a little bit of a long one. I spent nine hours Saturday and Sunday waiting for a film shoot to get done. That's not counting the four hours I waited on Friday lol..
Because of my daughter's health issues I am her taxi driver. She has Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy which makes it very hard for her to drive; especially long distances. Since she never know when she is going to have a flair and with the side affects of medication it just makes it easier for me to chauffeur her around, which I really don't mind.
She has been going to a film college in Grand Rapids MI and this weekend they were filming their theses project in Saugatuck MI, which is a small resort town near the lake. Needless to say Saugatuck in February is pretty much closed up for the season. I had thought about possibly spending the night just so I would have someplace to hang out during the day but most every motel was either closed or booked. Sooo that left me in the car figuring out something to do.
Mother Nature was very kind to me this weekend. It was unseasonably warm and made it much more comfortable sitting in the car. I did bring a few photo albums of my mom's to tear apart to get ready for scanning. I also found a Burger King that had internet so I hung out there for a bit too, (until the battery on my computer died). I found one antique mall that was open both Saturday and Sunday so looked though half on Saturday and the rest Sunday. It was interesting checking out the prices on items that I have. You never know what kind of treasure you might own!
Sunday the shoot took a bit longer because they had to pack up all the equipment. I had the entertainment of watching the guys racing around moving the camera stuff to the drive way so they could pack it all up in the huge tailor. I am sure by the time the guys got home they were ready for bed!
It was a three day film shoot to make a 25 minute movie. It sounds like they might be entering it in some film competitions. It was a dark comedy called Dead & Breakfast. It was shot at a bed & breakfast.. hence the name lol
So much excitement for one weekend... back to my dull life..
Until tomorrow... take care..
