If you knew me from here before, tell me what you've been up to the past 2 years.

I drank a lot of good beer.
I drove a lot (Chicago and back, twice).
I moved a few times (currently in Inman Sq).
My MINI engine died at 107,000mi so I put a new (used/11,000mi) engine in it.
I worked on a feature length independent movie (boom op).
My sister moved to Amsterdam, and I'll be spending Thanksgiving with her over there.
My parents retired.
I applied for a new job, and never heard anything back.
I applied for a better new job, and got a call back yesterday.
I got some more tattoos.
I ate hot dogs.

Go.

And I'm still ready to kick your skinny azz in the parking lot!

You coming to the Cape for Lighthouses? I'll buy you lunch at Dave's BBQ if you do.

Airplanes?

rknrll · Sep 1st, 2007, 11:54 PM

I had something witty to say and then it went away. Glad to see you back,

There goes the neighborhood...he'll eat it.

GadgetGav · Sep 3rd, 2007, 01:48 AM

How many planes do Fidelity have, or don't we want to know..!

Tell us more about the film - what's it called, when can we see it..?
Did you get any good designer vinyl in the last two years? I just got a lead on an Erick Scarecow Liberty.

Damn I'm good!

Steve - Sundays are a no-go with the current job...probably can't make the Cape thing. Unless I left after work and met up down there.
Gav - It sounds like a killer job...it's both operational and financial, and I don't have much finance experience, so that's what they called to ask me about on Friday. I still hope to get another call.
The movie is called "Douglas". Some stills can be seen here: FILM STILLS - a photoset on Flickr

It's being edited now, and they want to get it into some film festivals next year...we'll see. I think it was done for only around $30,000 but it looks excellent...and it was fun!

Neg on the vinyl...the only thing I'm looking forward to is my buddy Brian's release "The Family": Vinyl Pulse: Proto Monday >> The Family by Brian Morris

I didn't really learn anything new about anybody.
Disappointed to say the least.

Who *are* you?

GadgetGav · Sep 5th, 2007, 11:09 AM

All the news is elsewhere, but here's my summary:
The house was broken into while we were asleep upstairs. They stole laptops, camcorder, wallets etc.
When I went to the PO to mail the claim form for that, a woman in a minivan hit my car over the front driver's side wheel.
Two weeks ago I passed out because I'd lost more than half my blood to a bleeding ulcer caused by taking too much Aleve at the direction of an orthopedic surgeon. Spend several days in Lahey and had to have 5 pints of blood and who knows how much saline.
It's been a fun summer..!

I'm amazed you've made this many posts without any "heh"s or "lame"s.

rknrll · Sep 5th, 2007, 04:12 PM

I think my first post was "heh" in the OT thread.
Then I went out and searched out the good threads (hot dogs/food/etc).

Heh, you're obviously not paying attention. That's why I was wondering why you thought you were so clever for guessing who rknrll was..!

How long before Brian repeats his question..? I don't think he was here when the screen name formerly known as pezboy was around...

Yeah, things have been crazy, but we're doing OK. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, right..? We now sleep with a baseball bat by the bed and an alarm system armed, and I'm taking drugs to repair the damage the other drugs did, but it's OK. It could have been a lot worse in every situation.

Did you hear back about the job yet..?
