04/08/2006: "Um...I missed it..."

So I missed the show last night. Not all of it. I saw the last half but I didn't see me. You'd think I would have been glued to my TV set. Recording it just so I can study and explore every movement, nuance, and emotional choice in my 60 second scene. But I didn't. I was actually on the road, driving to my sister's home in Hermosa Beach to watch it with her, her roommate and boyfriend. But I misscalculated the length of time it would take to drive there. As it turns out my sister lives in the middle of no where. Its strange to think there is a middle of no where in Los Angeles, but there is. She is far, far away from any freeway. There aren't even street lights out in her area. It's like the sticks within the city. Strange. Anyway, I'm turning onto the third street you turn on before you get to her street when my cell phone rings. It's her.
"You missed it." She said. Dang it! The clock read 8:10.
"Oh well. I was there when they filmed it. How did it look?"
"Eh.."
"Really?"
"No, it was fine. We have pizza so hurry up."

Well that was it. My local news paper from my home town (The Olympian) ran a little blurb about me being on the show. My Dad emailed it too me. It was a small paragraph in between two other small paragraphs entitled "Jewish Dinners" and "Plus sized Brides now have dresses that fit!". It's kind of a family victory to be mentioned in the paper. None of us kids were good enough athletes to make it in the high school sports reports for any sport so this is some kind of small but sweet redemption for the Hanson clan. I mean no other Capital High School graduates have worked with Jennifer Love Hewitt on a network show.
I finally saw it this morning. I was at some friends house for coffee and they had recoreded on their tivo knowing i was coming over this morning. Man I am bald. I mean darkening my hair made it even more obviouse. But if I'm known as the funny near bald guy then fine. I'll take that. Rather stand out then look like the rest of you winners out there.
So write in the forum if you saw it last night. What did you think? I want complete reviews on a scene that was less than a minute long.
