Fast Food - The Trailer

Fast Food - The Trailer
Originally uploaded by Bearded Jon

This summer I made a movie. Tonight I made a trailer for it. If you think the trailer is short at :30 seconds the film is only 7:49 with credits and I still managed to only tease the good bits.

Please watch this and let me know what you think.

I've been crying for hours...

because of this God forsaken website: http://www.peopleofwalmart.com/

But I'm OK with that.

Naked on a Wednesday After 100,000 Miles

Yep. Its true. But it isn't exactly like it sounds.

Yes it is Wednesday. And yes, I am naked in the sense that I left my cell phone at home this morning. You know that little niggling feeling you get when you leave the house and you know you've forgotten something, but it isn't enough of a feeling to make you actually go back inside and double check your mental list of "what did I leave where"? I got about four miles out from the house when I realized it was my cell phone that was missing. Just far enough that I wasn't turning back for it. This must be how newborns feel right after the umbilical is cut; right when they take their first poop on their own.

So I'm naked and on my way to school my silver truck turned 100,000 miles. Monumental? Probably not. A clunker? I don't think so. I'm pretty sure she has at least another 100,000 miles in her. But I was naked today and had no way to record the odometer tripping to 100,000. No pocket cam anyway. No instant nostalgia on the internet. Another moment passing. But recorded here. And not forgotten.

There is an audio track that is missing (yet to be produced) and a bunch of other details that need to be worked out but here's a sneak preview of the opening of my film, Fast Food!

Fred & Ginger and Doug Fir

Notes and drawing from my sketch book from our May WA/OR trip. This was sitting in the Doug Fir lounge in the Jupiter Hotel. If you're staying in Portland I highly recommend the Jupiter Hotel. Swanky and fun. I also highly recommend getting to know Fred & Ginger. My new favorite drink.

Alaska Sailing Club TtV - Big Lake Alaska

So this is kind of a mish-mosh of a bunch of different things.

First, Jamie and I are now members of the Alaska Sailing Club up at Big Lake.

Second, this is my first TtV video (with a portion Hulabilly's Quiet Waters as the music bed).
