Today's Updates

Vin Diesel and his crew showed up this morning (I think there were at least three guys, possibly four, there were easily three trucks in the driveway...) to begin the day by putting a camera in the drain line. Yeah. That just sounds like already we're going to get expensive.

Then, I'm here at CLE. It's Professional Responsibility day. Midway through the first hour we lose sound. When this happened on the first day immediately an Eddie Haskell from the audience jumped up and went outside to complain. Today? We all just sat here. You hear a few chuckles from the back of the room. Then somebody says "we're getting as much out of this as we were before". They fix the sound after about 5-6 minutes. Is the tape rewound? Nope.

Next thing, the guy on the video says that we're going to be watching a few vignettes. I hadn't thought much of it. Then I realize we're watching the people on the tape watch vignettes. You hear music start, the lights go down. They're watching a video and we're watching a video of people watching a video. After a few moments the person who did the tape actually moved the camera and focused in on the screen, but it was a bit surreal-- watching a videotape of a show projected on the screen that we're watching this show projected on. Clearly film quality and sound were issues.

At least today I'm utilizing the free (?) wi-fi.
