Work-puke-work and work some more.

Well its been awhile since I have updated this blog. Sorry, this week has had me going hard at projects and travel.
The Saskatchewan trip went well except for 2 glitches.
1- I forgot my charger for my laptop so I had limited time to go online. (Thanks to NeuralNet in S'toon for letting me charge up at their shop while I ran errands and giving me an extra day of "juice". Mac dealers can be so helpful). This also delayed the launch of my new web site as I had to ration my battery power.
2- Food poisoning knocked me on my ass for 2 days. (Be careful where you eat folks) This also delayed a few things. I did catch up on sleep...sort of...if you can call recovering a full day sleep. The guts are now back to normal, almost.

Today I was on a movie set, here in Calgary, doing stand-in work. It was a long day outdoors but fun. I bumped into fellow comic Brian Stollery who I have not seen in some time. He did a splendid job on his role as "Bishop Whipple". Kudos Brian. I also bumped into many folks who have become familiar faces on the sets. NIce to see you all again.
Stand-in work usually demands that you be at the ready for when the director calls but luckily I had some downtime to read though a script that was sent to me awhile back. The story is hilarious and I am proud to be a part of this new project.
Looks like my November-December will be filled with filming a comedy movie as I have been offered a sizeable part! All that networking and hard work has paid off, oh yeah and my talent! Okay I had to boast.
I am not going to divulge many details just yet but I'll be working with many other comic-actors of notable talent so it will be a blast!! Shooting takes place in Edmonton and I have been assured that we can work around my Christmas show bookings. I'll be doing a read through this Sunday with the producer and some of the cast. Stay tuned.

That's it for now as the clock just passed 12:00. I am off to Kinkos to get some promo posters printed. Gotta love that 50% off after midnight so I can double my production. What the hell, I am up anyway.

Later Makk-o-philes
