I don't really have anything I need to do today. So, while watching the game last night I got a text from my friend who works in independent, micro-budget movies. I haven't seen this guy in a while, and he has reached out through social media about finding extras who would be in the movies he's a part of. Having someone personally text you, however, cuts through the noise of a message intended for a wider audience, many of whom you don't know.
So, what the hell, I say? After the shit that happened Tuesday, I want to feel better about myself by helping a friend (a friend, by the way, I am certain voted for Trump, and I am going to presume he will do the right thing and shut his mouth about it). So I text back, "Yeah."
And that's where I made my mistake. What I texted next was, "Where is it?" And he said, "Delano." And I go, "Where is Delano?" Because, you see, I don't know where Delano is, and if that's the case, that's probably because it's in a part of town I don't usually go -- like out of The Loop.
Which is where it is; I just looked up the address, and my God, it's in the boonies. (It actually not too far from where my brother, sister-in-law and niece live.) I'm driving 40 miles each way to be an extra in my friend's movie for free. I should have asked where it was before I said yes.
Welp, off to gassing up my car and loading up on provisions before my trek to Trumpland Minnesota.
