So, most people have seen the "Frasier" show with Kelsey Grammar, right? Well, most people know who Eddie is, the cute little smart Jack Russell Terrier that was on the show. I met Eddie's brother today. Eddie's brother!!!! Apparently they came from the same breeder in California, and Eddie unfortunately has since passed away from old age. But his brother, who is nearly 20 years old, lives here in Havasu and belongs to a friend of mine.
Shay and I got together with Pete, an Australian videographer, to film some segments for an upcoming show we're working on. Pete has two little Jack Russels; one with short hair and one wirey haired. The wirey one has a funny face like a muppet, and when I commented on it Pete told me about the dog's famous sibling. How cool!
So the show we're working on is basically a little thing about events here in Havasu. There's one on the air already, which features the Relay For Life and a couple other fundraisers. This new one has a Toys For Tots story, a segment on the Journey of Hope which is a bunch of guys riding bikes across the country, and a quickie on the neat summer storms that we get around here.
I have my own video equipment, so I'll be gaining some "B" footage to put with the new stories that Pete is writing up. Something about the boating industry, another one about the Public Defender's office, and maybe something about the cool experimental aircraft that are here at the local airport.
This stuff isn't paying yet, but if we get a major network to start airing it, we'll start getting paid. And it's cool because the creative things that my boss won't let me do will come out in all this. Cool!
