Think I Found my Blog Party Location
I need to think a bit more about it, but look, it’s The Reservoir Lounge. Why there? Because I dreamed about it once, click here.
september 22 2009Through the doors on the left and tada, the place is adorable. They have a different jazz band each night, and depending on the date I choose (early November) means either Tyler Yarema will sing to us (Tuesdays) or Bradley and the Bouncers (Wednesdays).
I was taking a photo of Bradley’s photo when a voice said behind me “I can help you get a better shot” and there he actually was.
That’s the stage where the band plays and where I’ll have a little screening to kick off “Season 2 of The Canadian Explorer!”. I’m working on a drink sponsor so I can buy all you guests your first drink at least, and I’m gonna have a photobooth and some other stuff. And I want balloons, too.

Exploring the CDN Navy

Yup that’s me at the end there, gunner-at-heart… did you see me flinch? Exactly.
Lastly, our Navy really “gets it”, this online stuff. They’re the ones who dreamed up my epic ending and fought to get the footage, they’re allowed unrestricted online access aboard and the ship even has her own Facebook Fan page, one of the first in the Forces.

I’ve Only Been Editing
By the time I’m done there’ll be 70+ hours of editing in this thing, plus producing and sailing time, 21GB of footage, 224 .DV files, thousands of Final Cut cuts, whew.
That’s why my blog has been content-light and I’ve only been tweeting: september 21 2009
Woke up on a warship, caught a ride home on a plane, hit 2 parties downtown, today will be tough to top #ReflectingOnMyFuture #zzzzz
The ship was good for me.
“Exploring the Navy” really came together last night; it’s gonna be cute, long (5 min. at least), and for once you’re gonna learn something.
Just found this interview foogate – Him: You have 3 minutes. Me: Dude I _make_ 3 minute movies.
[TwitPic] – Me tonight from filming the last bit for the Navy episode and omg the sun goes down fast these days.
Aha, just worked in a heart wipe.
Go Navy!
Having new music makes so much difference #MusicBakery.com
Morning! Can’t wait to show you the ship and the Navy, which is the people.
Apologies in advance – of the gig I just rendered 33% of the footage I’m chewing gum.
I’m still editing.
31 hours of editing since Friday. I may not be the smartest girl on the block, but I’ll out-work you. Zzzzz.
You actually learn something in this episode. Don’t get used to it.
Rendering. Pray for less than 1000MB.
1.09 GB mf.
Oh no – think I spelled ‘missile’ wrong and I’m uploading.
And that’s the FinalCut file.
