Weezer!!!!

i've been really excited for going to the music video for Weezer. i wasn't 100% sure i was going to be in it so i didn't get my hopes up.

this morning Helen drove me and Cynthia to the LA Forum in Inglewood for the shoot. i was so happy that she drove us, rides were the iffy part of our plan. so Helen dropped us off and we wander to the tent that's set up, this was around noon. we had to fill out a lot of paperwork, i wasn't sure if it was for the music video or the world record people. but once we did that we just chilled a little bit. when we got to the parking lot they were in the middle of shooting something. i have no idea what though.

i'm not sure if i can reveal anything about the content of the video because i just browsed over the contract so i'll just generalize stuff. basically setting a lot of world records. me and cynthia got in front of crowd so we made sure we got into the music video. it was just so cool that we were so close to them. i even got a picture with Brian, but he was wandering a lot throughout the day. Pat was the most socialible of the group. during takes we would just talk to him and it was really cool. Rivers was really quiet, but i saw his new baby, she's sooo cute. i didn't take pictures because that just crosses the privacy line, like a lot. we were in the sun a lot, but i had a good time. Scott was pretty cool, not really talkative either but gave us smiles. Brian is just a hippy. i wish i took more pictures but no cameras on set.

there weren't that many people either, i thought there was going to be like 1,000 people there were only 250-300 people. i like that number, less people more band access, just the way i like it. during the day there were raffles, neither cynthia nor i won. the nice thing about this shoot was that they actually feed us. they provided pizza, lemonade/water, sunblock and some where to sit in the shade. i thought we were just going to be sitting around on the floor in the sun with no food or water provided.

some guys were setting a world record, playing guitar hero for 12 hours. but it's the NEW guitar hero with guitar, vocals and drums. i liked the drums because it had cymbals but it seems like it would be easier to break. the mic is a lot more sensitive or more telling than the rockband mic. after the 12 hours, the guys smashed the guitars to pieces. very sturdy i must say, they needed to give it at least two whacks to the ground to break.

the day ended with a custard pie fight. but since it was for the world record we all had to take the pie in the face. me and cynthia found each other and we pied each other. but we were very hesistant. bad idea. luckily it was the last event of the day. grosss....i had custard and pie crust in my hair on the way home.

i think i'm sunburned, dang. other than that it was an awesome day. i wonder when the music video comes out.
