Things got started slowly, the fatigue from a long day of shooting lowering the energy level. Finally, with the mescal slowly taking hold, the evening gave way to some really terrible jokes. The first is courtesy of Paul's daughter (as told by Paul):
Q: what is silent and smells like carrots?
A: a rabbit's fart.
I can't make this shit up. Apparently this one is a hit with the 13 and under crowd.
Here's my terrible contribution:
Two antennaes met, fell deeply in love, and decided to get married. The wedding wasn't much to talk about but the reception was fantastic!
If you've read this far, I'm so sorry, those jokes were terrible. I shouldn't have even bothered to share those but it did well to summarize the quality of conversation tonight.
Ok one more.
Q: what do you call a fish without eyes?
A: fsh
Seriously, I'm done now. Meanwhile, the team has moved onto late night snacks - lamb chops and fish tacos!
I would have photographed the chops #nofilter but these animals I'm with destroyed them before I had the chance. I hear they were good though.
I'm now talking to our lead editor, a fine chap from North London, who has made a career cutting things like Brittany Spears 'Toxic' music video as we all Eminem's 'Real Slim Shady' video. Astonishingly, he loves what we, Sears (yes, us) are doing so far and will even stay to finish the job (Miracle in Mexico). He says the creativity of the scene blocking sets the stage for an innovative piece of short film making. Cool. I think that means he digs our style.
In a related conversation, Andres makes a deal with Paul: he eats a hot chili pepper, Sears gives McGarry Bowen a chance at more (award winning) Hispanic creative - or as we've called it this week - TOTAL market content. Seems like a good deal, so we accept, and Andres suffers for 3 minutes and we promise to try and setup another chance to knock out some meaningful creative output in 2015. Win/Win. Except for Andres, he looked unhappy.
The clock has now struck midnight on this Cinderella, so with my pumpkin rapidly falling apart, I'm headed to bed. I have aspirations of exercise and cultural experiences tomorrow thanks to our 1:45pm call. Good night my friends.
