Friday, August 22nd 2008

I woke up around noon and let the dog out of the bathroom. She wasn’t used to spending every day in a small ceramic prison, so when I opened the door it was like I was her savior. I took her outside to let her run around for a few and then I went back to my room to check my email. I shot a text off to Geoff to see if he was at the studio and he told me that he was at lunch, and that they wouldn’t be back until 2 p.m.

I took the time to conquer it, take a shower and get dressed before taking off about 1:30 p.m. I was hungry so I hit up Rubio’s on the way to snag some lunch.

At the studio, I sat down to eat in Trish’s office and Geoff came in talk to me in private. I’m not going to repeat what he said, but it really pissed me off. He and I got into a bit of an argument over it, and then it cooled down after that…well for him at least. Shit still pissed me off.

Ace had sent me some emails with some potential actors, so I started calling them and trying to set appointments with them to come in and record. Unfortunately, only one of them lived in the area, and she was a “promotions” girl rather than a voice actor. I still scheduled her anyways.

I hung around for the rest of the day, and eventually Marky showed up to chill too. Geoff, Mami, Marky and myself all took off around 8:30 p.m. to get some food at subway and relax. While we were eating David called me to see what I was up to, and when I’d be at my house so he could come pick me up for our location scouting. When we got back to the studio, I bid everyone a farewell, and hauled ass home to get ready.

I got home, and searched around for some nicer clothes to wear. I wanted to look decent and not like I didn’t have any money (strippers don’t like that). I was in the middle of “doing” my hair when David showed up wearing a Linkin Park t-shrt and raver jeans. He’s a weird guy with his clothing style sometimes.

We hoped in his car and made our way to the first club. We paid and went inside. We had been to this club before (on several occasions actually) and we pretty much knew the layout. Normally we would go for any titty bar with decent prices and good looking women, but David had something specific in mind. We drank our beers and got a feel for the crowd, and we weren’t feeling it. We left and headed to our next destination.

The second strip club was one that I had been to before, but not for a couple years. It was just down the street from the first club, so we didn’t have to drive too far. We got inside and ordered our drinks, we hung out for a while and both of us were really digging the place. We talked with some of the girls and they were pretty friendly, plus they had a smoking section inside and a VIP room for a relatively moderate price. So far this was our favorite.

The last club we went to was our normal topless bar. We knew that if we had to, this would be a great last ditch effort. But even after being there for a half hour, we just weren’t feeling it and we kept talking about the second club. After talking with some of the girls (who were really stuck up) we decided that it would be best to go with our gut feeling and hit up the second club. Our location was secured.

The bars officially closed for the night, and David ran me back home so he could get some sleep. I offered to play the designated driver for the birthday party so he could get wasted with his brother, and he graciously accepted my offer. We said goodnight, and he took off.

I went inside, kicked off my clothes, turned on GTA 4 and played until I got tired at 5 a.m.
