EXTRA! EXTRA! Working as an Extra for Friday Night Lights
I don't have much time to post today as I am getting ready for a day long fundraiser at the Mall. I will post sometime this weekend on my being part of the "background" for the TV show, Friday Night Lights. TGBO had called me and asked me if I would work with her as an extra for the Father/Daughter dance sequence and I agreed.
A short timeline for the whole event:
Noon - Leave Abilene for Austin
3:00 - Hit Austin traffic on I-35
3:45 - Arrive at the Texas School for the Deaf Campus
4:30 - Check in, fill out I-9s and paperwork
7:00 - After waiting for three hours, we are briefed on our roles as Father/Daughter dancers
11:00 - Four hours of dancing later, we are released to go home. It takes thirty more minutes to return props to wardrobe and to turn in your vouchers.
Midnight - Heading out of Austin for home
3 a.m. - Arrive home. Collapse on bed. Set alarms to wake me up at 6:15 so I can start Saturday early enough to prepare for the Diamond Dig fundraiser for our organization. I plan to sleep well tonight (the fundraiser ends tonight at 9)!
Have a good Saturday everyone! Will post more about the fun things that happen when you are an extra!

Busy as always, I see!
the father-daughter dancing sounds like it'll be a blast! Would you mind doing a few outlandish dips and pirrouettes so that when we all watch, we can spot you in the background?
Just remember, there's a little corner reserved for you in heaven for doing stuff like this. :)
-c, believe me I was just trying not to maim people around me as I definitely can't dance!
weary hag, wow! It is great to see you back in the blogosphere! I think my corner of heaven is an itsy bitsy teeny tiny one...
slvr - yeah, I do.
TGBO - yeah, yeah, yeah...
