I started the day at 5.00am so I could make it to “This Providence” video shoot by 9:00. I live in Shelton so I had quite the drive ahead. The roads were a solid sheet of Ice between Shelton and Olympia. There was a car upside down in the meridian and a truck in the ditch not far from that. You could see slide marks everywhere from all the close calls, lots of cops and flares. 25-30 Mph on the freeway. My instinct told me to keep going although this was insane. I had to get to seattle so I could be part of “This Providence Video Shoot” When I finally arrived in Seattle it was like entering the twilight zone. The sun was shining like I had not seen it in months. Of course I had to take a wrong turn and get lost first, but I finally made it to hanger #30. I was not sure where the production desk was so I asked someone on the crew. They told me to go to the last door on the right. To my surprise I walked right in the the band. At first I felt ridiculous standing there in my little pink costume with all my baggage, but I was kindly given the correct direction. Although the day started out rough, I have to say I had the time of my life. I made so many new friends. It’s not everyday you get to hang out with awesome people like the Seattle knights, a variety of dancers, a clown and other interesting walks of life. The video is going to be so cool!!!
