Ahh...The first day of the weekend...a three-day weekend for me. Thank you, Abe and George! And it's a three-day weekend I really need. This has been quite a long week with the taping and all...
Actually, Thursday, I spent my Valentine's Day in the editing suite watching over the editing of "Project: Nipple." Ended up staying in editing until 4 AM. Some of you may be going, "WHAT?!?" Editing is quite a long process, especially when you're doing two full pilots. It gets to the point where you can recite the show in your sleep. Fortunately, there were comfortable couches to sit on, free lunch, free coffee, free dinner, and many stories to swap. The coolest part of the evening came around 1-ish when Michael Malone (one of our producers) start talking about his days at Goodson-Todman and being part of tapings of such classic shows as "Match Game '7X" and "Password." Mike was the music supervisor for "Match Game '7X," "Tattletales," "Now You See It," and was the first music supervisor of the CBS version of "Price is Right." To put it simply, he played a key part in picking the "wanky" think music for "Match Game" and many of the prize cues you hear on "Price" today. Needless to say, I was in awe hearing his stories. It's working with vets and hearing stories about the "glory days" that make me even more appreciative of the the position that I'm in. And it also made hanging around so late at night worth it!
As to the show, it really looks good on camera. Without a doubt, these are two solid pilots. And in looking at the final product for the umpteenth time, it's still a tough call as to whom should host this thing. But we've pretty much done all that can be done with the pilots. It is now in the hands of our buyers as to who hosts and as to whether this thing hits the air.
On a side note, it looks like all this talk about "Project: Nipple" has gotten the alt.tv.game-shows newsgroup abuzz as to what in the hell I'm talking about. All right...I'll spill...We're working on a new version of "The Baby Game" for ABC Family. It's AWESOME. The babies we used on the pilot were the best and this thing is going to test through the roof! Hee-hee.... >:-)
Seriously though...you will probably all find out for sure what this is in the next few weeks. But, there are many clues abound in my entries so that you can figure this out on your own. I've said quite a bit about the show without really saying it...Hell, this double talk in my entries has turned into a game itself!
Geez, I'm in such a loopy, giddy mood despite my lack of sleep. What else, what else...my first day of relaxation was today. Got my hair cut at Shorty's. Not only do they give good haircuts there, but it's a lot of fun. This one hair stylist at the station behind mine kept coming over and teasing me. Even called me "cutie" as I left...Not bad for a $16 haircut! Ted and I went over to Caleb's downtown loft where he treated us to a great dinner consisting of chicken fajitas and fried ice cream. The guy never ceases to amaze me. I needs to start learning how to cook. Kinda feel bad in that I'm the only person in the house who hasn't cooked up a meal for anybody else yet. I mean...pizza rolls and Toll house cookies don't necessarily consitute a meal. I guess I have a little something to ask mumsy when I call her tomorrow.
And it looks like the saga with Chris ("Bank Boy") has not ended. I finally got an E-mail from him. He apologized for not keeping in touch with me and said that we'd talk when he gets back into town next week. I'm not holding my breath, but at least he finally got back to me...
