I spent Saturday morning working on a craigslist project. An "ad spec", which is, as far as I can tell, a very basic mock-up of an ad to show off. The product promoted is a party game called The Big O Game. It's a CD full of people moaning, and the game is to guess which groans are actually someone being gratified. Saucy.
The ad: Guy gets on subway, Girl wearing headphones gets on subway, sits next to Guy. Girl has an orgasm, to Guy's dismay and intrigue. He asks to listen to the headphones, and has an orgasm when he puts them on. Very Harry Met Sally, I know.
About thirty craigslist actors were expected, but A) It was snowing like a mofo and B) craiglist, as you may know, is just full of flaky goodness. So: I was the only actor that showed up. Except for The Girl, who was played by a friend of the director. So, I got to play the Guy.
Filming on the subway is illegal unless you've got a permit, of course, so we had to hide the cameras except when we were filming. We went up and down the 2 line twice. And, yes, the train had people on it while we were having our orgasms. During mine, I had an impulse (and An Actor Must Always Follow His Impulses) and grabbed the Girl's hair. I felt a little sheepish later, but she was cool with it. It was a fun experience. The screening's this Tuesday.
VSLF and I had been planning to go to Central Park for The Great Manhattan Snowball Fight of 2003, but we wanted to be rested for our party in the evening. And I had really wanted to go.
VSLF's mother was and is in town, so she cooked up all kinds of crazy-tasty party food goodness. She also brought a piata and a few Mexican decorations (Mexico being the theme of our party). So, we were off to a good start. After the first few people arrived I made a pitcher of margaritas. I'll tell you, I should have done the math:
1L tequila + 330ml triple sec + 330ml lime juice split six ways gets six people pretty wasted very quickly.
The party was attended almost entirely my VSLF's colleagues and people I have met on Suicidegirls. I'm sure the following exchange must have occurred at least once:
"So, where do you know our hosts from?"
"Oh, I model at a pornographic website they're members of."
Well, whatchagonnado.
Revelry until 4am. I was feeling pretty grim all of Sunday.
