USCG - CA Production

whoa! hey there friends.  i cannot believe how quickly summer fast forwarded and now is seemingly ending (hello labor day!)

my absence from the blogosphere was due in part to crazy pre-production at the office and then a week and a half spent in LA/San Diego for the big sha-bang.

but i'm BACK and it was a pretty cool experience.  first of all San Diego is probably one of the best climate's i have ever experienced.  literally, there is always warm sun and a cool breeze - none of the humid swamp like stuff we have in DC.  it's perfect for outdoor dining and sitting on a sailboat, two of my favorite things in life.  alas, i was there for work, so while there was some outdoor dining i did not have any relaxing sailboat cruises.

my trip consisted of boats, helicopters, and the open sea with a whole lot of emails and coordination in between.  exhausting is an understatement, but everything turned out great and i am beyond excited to see the new US Coast Guard recruiting commercials finished off and broadcasting nationwide.

looking forward to a relaxing weekend in DC and getting into the fall groove.

luckily - i had a weekend break between meetings in LA and filming in SD.  a visit from this guy and a fun weekend with his sisters was the perfect treat before a long week of production.
