TCAOS (Year2: Day 40)

Ben (Grips) and I (Lucas Talent) found-out we hit the same Banana Republic sale!  Haha!

Christine (Local Color) and I (Lucas Talent) always bring a red hat now.  Hehe...

The Grips Department were so giving to me today!  First I get a bumper sticker from Denis (B-Camera Dolly Grip)...

and then I get an Air Hog X-Wing Starfighter from Robert (A-Camera Dolly Grip)!

She's ready to fly!

But I'll park her by Christine (Local Color) for now.  ;-)

International Tabletop Day Board Game Quest

I did my part this morning.  ;-)

Mitchell asked me if I wanted to do the International Tabletop Day Board Game Quest today, so I met him at our first stop: Players Wanted Games & Collectibles.  The object of the quest was to get a card stamped at all four participating stores in order to be entered into a contest to win $200 in Gift Certificates!

Second stop: Starlit Citadel.

They moved into a new location and it's now an actual store as opposed to their old online pick-up warehouse!  :-)

Third stop: Drexoll Games.

We had to spot eight stuffed monkeys.  LOL!

Fourth and final stop: Pizzeria Ludica & Game Room.

Chris, Gayle, and Todd eventually joined us for dinner.

When we were done eating, we started to play Fury of Dracula!  I really love this game which is why I was sad to hear that it's no longer in print because Fantasy Flight Games lost the rights to it.  :-(

Can you imagine how excited I was to see an actual copy of it when we went to Magic Stronghold?!?  I snatched it immediately!  ;-)

Perennial (Day 2)

Mitchell and I got a little gaming in before work since our call time was late in the afternoon!

Maya was working on set today, but she was gripping!  She (Lucas Talent) and I (Lucas Talent) decided to send this photo as a birthday greeting to Parry Bobo.  LOL!

Oh, and she (Showbiz Management) responded!  Haha!

Sunday Strategies

I love these two lots behind Earnest Ice Cream!

The tree is quite haunting.  ;-)

After enjoying lunch with the MOMMIETRON, it was time for some gaming at Magic Stronghold!

It was the first time I got to use three Tie Defenders in a squadron!

They were my Triple-D offence.  ;-)

And you know what?  My team came out on top!!!  :-)

Remarque de Mort (Day 2)

Haha!  I caught Tisa (Lucas Talent)  photoshopping herself in holding!  :-)

Sometimes I don't like what production is serving, so I'll just go off on my own.  This time I went to Fresh Bowl.  ;-)

After work, I went to pick-up Gus and the gifts that he and Megatron got me!  Woohoo, Imperial Veterans!!!  :-)

Happy Birthday Jude!!!

My job today: Set Containment.  ;-)

Seriously, RT insisted on paying me to look after these kids.  LOL!

It was a special day for this boy.

Happy Birthday Jude!!!  :-)

After all the festivities, I actually had a chance to play a game with Mitchell and Chris!  :-)

High Tea & High Tensions

Yuko, Angela,

Lauren, and Mandi were all here at The Urban Tea Merchant for High Tea!

Yuko Ono and Bobo G deciding what tea to order.   Hehe...

I called dibs on the seat beside Sabrina weeks ago...

and I got it!  She cut her hair too!  :-)

Sabrina, Alex, and Lauren.

Mandi, Ann, Alex, and Yuko.

I ordered the Creme Caramel Tea from South Africa!  So yummy!

Can you see Parry Bobo hiding behind our trays of goodies?

Alex wins best-dressed for our luncheon.

That's not ice cream, but I ate it anyway because it was in a cone.  ;-)

Such a good time with these peeps!  :-)

Angela is an Original High Tea Gangsta!   LOL!

Mrs. Jarowicz came directly from The Hamptons.  ;-)

If you see these two approaching, walk away because these girls are trouble!  Hehe...

The High Tea Gangstas!  :-)

Where will we sip next?

Oh look, Jaeger-LeCoultre has a store here in Vancouver!  I spotted it as I was walking to my car.

After our meal, some of us drove down to the UBCP office for the Background Performers Caucus Meeting.

We had a good turn-out this time because it was held on a weekend!

A lot of issues were raised and questions asked, so hopefully there'll be resolutions.  Our union did encourage us to register with ACTRA Online.  Members can create a profile and be a part of a database which casting directors and talent agents can access when they need to hire performers.  Get on it and spread the word!

www.actraonline.ca

I'm gonna register and I'm sure Ann will too!  ;-)

In the evening, it was time for games at Magic Stronghold.

I used my JumpMaster 5000 for the first time, but she didn't last too long in our game.  LOL!
