The beginning of the week was pretty slow without much incident, or should I say fun. Our new tree that we planted last fall "has got the buds" as Ando says. Hopefully it will bloom this year along with the wisteria. Last years wisteria was destroyed by the late season frost.
Thursday was my favorite day of the year, Blue Chips. I missed set up this year because I had another shoot on Wednesday and couldn't help. I would have much rather done my shoot on Wednesday, even though it was long, than help with the F scene that is Blue Chip se up day. From the stories I have heard it was still an F scene this year and I did pull the long straw.
Before heading to the Boats I met up with my boss at The Party Source to grab a few supplies since we were in the area. I stocked up on a couple of nice beers and some liquor. Ando requested a 22oz. Natural Light, but I couldn't find one and he got a six pack of tall boys instead. I am pretty sure he was making a joke, but he got them anyway. I only ended up spending $66 there, $100 less than my boss.
Nick Clooney was the host of our lovely cable access awards show this year that took place on the B&B Riverboats. I have no idea why someone so famous, and I do say famous loosely, would agree to host such an event. He deviated way too much from the script and made the show longer than it needed to be. We were all hoping to keep it under two hours, but will all the off the cuff remarks from Nick we went over. There was also an annoying camera lady who wouldn't stop talking and had no idea what she was saying. I was about ready to strangle her by the end of the night. Just one year I want to have an unimportant job for the Blue Chips. Once again I had do something important, Technical Direct this year. West Chester won one Blue Chip this year in the category of Sports Programming - Event. And when my boss accepted the award he thanked me in his speech!
When I was finished with my job I did get to go on the boat, yes the production truck stays on land during the awards ceremony, and have some drinks. My boss bought the first round and then I had a beer to finish the night off. It really was a beautiful night for a B&B Riverboat cruise last night. I thought it was going to rain and the river was going to be too high for the cruise to happen, but I was wrong. The night was warm and crystal clear.
I didn't get home until 12:20 or so and Ando was already in bed, but it turned out not sleeping. We had a few comments back and forth to each other, but nothing substantial since it was so late at night and Ando had to get up early the next morning.
My day today was trying to try up loose ends at work before heading to Vegas for NAB. Ando and I leave Monday morning so I may not be able to post next week in Vegas. Ando did leave for Chi-town today with Teed for a boys music weekend. This is fine with me as I will have the whole bed to myself for a couple of nights.
Since Teed and Ando were out of town Mo and I hit the town together for a nice romantic date. We went to Asiana where I felt bad for drinking beer and eating sushi in front of her, but she said she didn't mind. We sat at the sushi bar, this is now our spot together at Asiana, next to a couple that was just finishing up. I wonder if they thought we were lesbians and Mo was carrying our child. I had a lovely date with Mo, maybe even better than I do with Ando. I have some things to consider me thinks.
Hopefully my next two days will be full of adventures for you all to read about with Ando out of town. I have some big plans that I can only hope will come to fruition without Ando holding me back. Stay tuned!
The biggest day of the year happened for me at the Blue Chips, Ando didn't propose on live TV.
