ok this is a new and revised version of the blog directly behind it in order.....just with more details and it'll make sense because my concussion is mostly gone......
So I went into boston to shot with MisaMisa. I'd been looking forward to shooting with her because our schedules are just opposite and we had been planning this for awhile and she has a killer location. I traveled down to boston with 2 of my studio lights...i have a wheeled travel kit that allows me to take 2-4 of my studio lights with extension cords; this way i can light almost any location.
We ended up shooting 2 sets and when we finished the first set I needed to adjust my lights and etc. I finished adjusting my first light and realized I had to adjust my light that is on a light stand that some times sticks. I move on to the final light and I'm hunched over trying to unstick the stuck section of my light stand. Next thing I know with out notice the bolt that holds the light stand together...BREAKS. Which causes me to hit myself under my chin with the light at full force. I honestly do not remember much after than.....
I set the light stand down and walked away. When I came back MisaMisa told me I was bleeding and hands me the underwear she was wearing during the first shoot and says, "don't worry I bought them for the shoot and they were cheap." So as I shake the cobwebs from my head; I realize I'm holding women's panties to my chin to stop the bleeding.
We shoot the set (which is awsome looking), I wonder back to the subway and find my way home. I texted Andain and told her what happened; once she got home she realized how fucked I really was. I was all like, "no, not a big deal. Don't worry about it." I totally should have got stitches and I have no memory of last night or even shooting the set. I don't really remember the blog I wrote yesterday as well...
summary and lesson learned:
I now know how it feels to be a passed out high school cheerleader with no recollection of the night before.

thanks, i'm counting my lucky stars I didn't bite my tongue or like you said broke my jaw. I wouldn't call it a blackout but I was def a zombie going through the motions. I kept trying to "just shake the cobwebs away"
