When I first drove into the Pear Theater parking lot for Connor's audition, I was hesitant to say the least. I called my husband just before stepping in and said, "It looks kind of shady, if you don't hear from me in under an hour send in the troops."

This is my first ever blog entry. I keep a bit of hand written journal at home but it's actually more of a record of big events that happen. No real emotion attached to it, just bullet marks of information.

I joined Around The Bay on the weekend of 9/30-10/1. I saw an ad on craigslist.org/crew gigs for a boom operator. "I can do this," I said to myself. "This sounds very interesting, if it's on the up and up". You have to be a little careful on craigslist sometimes, some of the ads can be, well, a little shady. Alex answered my email the next day and I replied asking for a quick synopsis of the movie. Another quick email reply and I had the general outline. I was impressed with the quick responses.
