Today the Washington State Supreme Court upheld the state's ban on gay marriage stating the state has "a legitimate interest in regulating relationships that produce children. " What a bunch of crap. What about the woman who's had hysterectomy or the man that has had vasectomy are they not allowed to marry because their marriage will not produce children?? So the entire purpose of marriage is to have babies? I don't think so.
The times are changing and gay marriage is coming. It wasn't so long ago that popular opinion supported slavery, segregation, refusing to let women vote, ban on interracial marriage, and on and on. Popular opinion is a risky thing to bet the farm on.
Liberty and justice for ALL beats popular opinion every time!!!

The Screening and The Contest
The screening for the 48-Hour Film Project went well. We did not win an audience choice award but we're still in the running for Best of City. This was the first contest we entered that held the screening in an actual real movie theatre. Let me tell you it is a little unnerving to see yourself on the big screen 15ft tall....CRAZY!!!
Oh well, we're keeping our fingers crossed hoping we place in Best of City.
Now for the contest...my friend and cohort Accidental Housekeeper...entered a screenwriting contest that started on July 21 and we have until the 29th to turn in our completed script. So far it's going well we have our story and outline completed and I'm working on writing the 1st draft.
That's about all I have time for right now...got get that 1st draft done!!!

48-Hour Film Project
So I'm just now recovering from last weekend to blog about it. I'm too getting to old for this crazy stuff....can't bounce back like I used to.
The weekend started Friday at 6pm with me meeting other team members at The Seattle Film Institute to draw our genre and find out what the other requirements would be. We drew comedy and the requirements were as follows -
Prop - Sleeping Bag
Character - Bob or Bonnie Henry, Insurance Agent
Dialouge - "I expect you to prompt - prompt and courteous."
Once the drawing was complete we headed to Bothell were the rest of the team was waiting. We phone ahead and let them know what the requirements were and by the time we arrived some serious brainstorming was underway. We finished the script about 1:30am. By time I got home and too bed it was well after 2:00am.
The alarm went off way to early...6:15am...I had to meet the crew at 7:00am at Whole Foods in Bellevue...barely had time for a shower and cup of coffee. We shot at Whole Foods tl about 8:15AM then it was off to dowtown Seattle to film in an office building and adjacent martini lounge. We wrapped about 2:00pm and headed to Bothell to shoot a kickball game...yes I said kickball game...we wrapped in Bothell about 8:00pm.
After grabbing a quick bite we headed back to Seattle to film on a rooftop on Capitol Hill. We got a great shot of the Space Needle and Lake Union at sunset...so I guess it was worth it. We finished up about 10:30pm. One last location...we headed to Bellevue to shoot at a doctor's office. We finally finished about 1:15am. As you may imagine I was exhausted having only gotten about 4 hours sleep the night before and then having been up for almost 20 hours it was all I could do fall into bed. I slept tl noon on Sunday!
Despite the lack of sleep I think we did a pretty good job. The screening was Tuesday night in Seattle and we got a lot of laughs! I think we're a long shot to win but at least I thought we were on par quality wise with the other contestants.

Eventually I think that it will be available on the national 48-Hour Film Project site but so far they only have last years up there. There's is one more public screening tonite so I'm sure after that they'll put them on the site. In the meantime you can look at using the link above.

Pink's New Song.....Pink? Yes, Pink!
I came across this song called "Dear Mr. President" by Pink the other day on You Tube and all I can say is - WOW. That takes some guts y'all. There's no clever wordplay, no sugar coating, and no apologies. It's smack in your face and balls out. I know this is going to sound cheesy but it actually brought a tear to my eye.

Relocated
We're officially moved in and settled...for the most part.
Loving the new neighborhood. There are tons of places for walking, even a few trails.
Here's some pics of 4th of July festivities.
