Double Whammy!

So, once again, we've completed two shoots in one weekend. Friday, I met with Old Man Stroll in NYC to do some final add ins for the Prologue to "Niente: The Movie," then I scuttled on back to CT for some additional reaction shots for a scene. At the close of Friday's shooting Tom (Old Man Stroll) and I happened upon a most triumphant sun set, where beams of light were bleeding through the clouds. It was sublime! I won't show you a picture though, you'll have to wait and see it in "Niente: The Movie."

Sunday's shoot went even better! After completing everything needed for the shoot, with the help of my good friend Phil, we proceeded to celebrate by getting some din din with our Gaffer, Steve Kompar at our favorite mexican restaurant. We all ordered a round of Tequila shots to cap off a successful day. We decided that this needs to be a large cap, so we all got another round. Then we still felt that we hadn't really capped off the evening so we asked for yet another round. Much to our suprise, our waiter came out with another round and told us it was on the house! Sweet! Then as we were eating our food, our waiter came back out and gave us another free round! This waiter is awesome! He told us, he was in such a good mood because he's getting married in a week so I said, "Holy crap man! You have to join us for the next drink." Hand shakes and "congrats" all around. That's when we noticed the three ladies sitting at a neighboring table, so we got them a round too. After the check was on the table and it was time to go, we knew this night still needed something more so: me, Steve, Phil, our waiter (his name's Christian by the way) and the three ladies all joined in for a drink to wish Christian the best of luck and congrats to him and his fiancée.

We stumbled out of the restuant and were still in such a good mood, so we continued to celebrate at a bar down the road till about midnight. Now it was a school night, so we only had like 5 more drinks..........

....and that's how I learned my lesson.

Anyway, here are some stills from the shoots. Enjoy!
