What I Remember - Chuck Wagon

• I remember the phone call from Aaron telling me I wasn't allowed to make plans for Aug 4,5, and 6.
  
• I remember our first team meeting (that I went to) one week before the contest. It was fun getting to know everybody, and everybody drank all my beer. ;-(
  
• Brainstorming with Yiorgo while waiting for the rest of the team to show up. Uttering the phrase "Hola Bitches" about 372 times.
  
• 1am run to the Grocery store because needing food was not anticipated. Pizza would have taken over an hour to be delivered.
  
• Waking up on Saturday morning with about 3 hours of sleep and thinking "I am too old for this shit". Krispy Kreme cured this feeling.
  
• I remember Evo on his hands and knees cleaning Aaron's carpet. And no, that is not a euphemism for something.
  
• I remember the lady at the bar that ended up in our shot because she was on a hot streak and refused to move. I remember her hitting on me. eww.
  
• Loosing two lights in our first shoot and leaving the bar an hour late. Not a good start.
  
• Laying on the hot pavement waiting for Aaron to call "cut". He took his time... bastard.
  
• Changing in the studio bathroom. Three of us there in our boxers. Then some of the studio staff walked in. What did they think?
  
• People molesting my "balloons" during the car commercial scene.
  
• Aaron wearing the same clothes for three days straight. This is not a fond memory.
  
• Mel passed out in a chair Saturday afternoon.
  
• I remember how all of us thought the idea of a porn scene was great, but when it came time to cast it; everybody scattered. LOL... I took one for the team. I am in it. Now I can always say I got my start in porn and mean it.
  
• Sitting on Yiorgo's porch during the hotest part of the day in direct sun. Then Aaron goes "Hey... We need to get a reflector on him too!". Great... as if I wasn't hot enough to begin with.
  
• Trying to be funny on camera and not getting any laughs at all. If it wasn't for the cute quiet one "Mylissa" there was no reaction at all.
  
• During the scene above, Aaron breaking into silent song and dance off camera to the tune of "My neck. My back. Lick my...." etc.
  
• Having a serious conversation in one room and then hearing the two music guys grunting in the other room and wondering "What the hell?!?!". (They were working on the porn music... I am not sure if that makes it ok though)
  
• Sitting at the bar at 7pm waiting for Mel and/or Aaron to show up and turn in the movie. 7:05.... 7:10.... Um... guys?
  
• Having a beer with my friends after the movie was turned in and basking in the exhausted glow of a weekend spent making a movie. Wouldn't trade that weekend for the world. Ok... maybe I would trade it for like one million dollars... Ok... really maybe like 25k.... Anyway... good weekend!
