The Squeakquel, Celeb Birthdays, and Holidays

On December 23rd, Alvin and the Chipmunks 2: The Squeakquel came out in theaters. This was the first movie I worked on as an extra out in California. Andrew and I went and saw it on opening night to see if I was visible in the scene I was in. And believe it or not, SUCCESS! Near the end of the movie at the final concert, there's a dance group then a singer. When that singer starts her song, they show her then the camera pans to the audience. In that shot, I'm right there, front row, almost dead center in a yellow polo. Seeing that was awesome. I was on the big screen. Even though I wasn't featured, I was still right there on a movie screen. That's crazy, but awesome. We saw me another time a little later, but the first shot is the better of the two. So if you want to, or were already planning on seeing it, look for me!

It's January 8th, and that means Happy Birthday Elvis! But let's not leave out Stephen Hawking and the great David Bowie. And anyone else out there who's birthday it is, a very Happy Birthday to you!

I hope everyone had a great holiday season. I was fortunate enough to spend my Christmas and New Year in my hometown with family and some friends. Living far away really makes you appreciate any and all support and family and friends back home. It sometimes gets hard being away from all the people you know, especially when you don't know too many people in the city/state you move to. Luckily I'm only a 3-hour drive away. Of course with all this snow now, it could end up being a longer drive.
