Boston Me Party
Okay, everybody.
It’s the last day for a while of using a mediocre microphone situation And here I am recording on my phone in my hotel room to give you some updates from my time in Boston your Daily Lex So yesterday was a Filming day and we were filming in this pretty interesting place that was called.
I think it was called musicians playground and I Get to that location at 7 a.m.
Which is what I’m supposed to be there.
I was also the first person to be there And man, it was just full of instruments, especially pianos guitars bass guitars and ukuleles And I played with a grand piano and then they also had a whole bunch of electric pianos including the same one I had at my house, which of course means nothing like is not in any way interesting yet I found very exciting and I told anyone who would listen.
Hey, I have this exact electric piano back in my house and I wrote some songs for the company.
I’m filming ads for it and Was fun we had a good day of shooting it was very exciting because they had An iPad set up as a teleprompter and boy, that’s really fun, especially because we got really far ahead of schedule You know now that we’ve worked together a bit before they know how I do and I know how they do And so we started at 7 and by early 10 30 or 11 We had done everything that they had wanted to make sure they got done that day So we did some of the second days of shooting that’s today’s But a lot of those were office scenes so we couldn’t film on that location so they started, you know, their whole marketing team is there so they started writing other stuff and With the iPad teleprompter that was very doable without it.
It would not have been But they had a very cool tech crew there we should have great audio from everything that I saw and definitely great video so it was fun and Around to Something they’re like, hey, we’re we really have nothing left to do today and we have dinner reservations at 530 Should we just cancel that so that we can you know, so people don’t to hang around for that long and everybody kind of greed Yeah, let’s not do that But then some of them said well, let’s all get a drink and then the most senior person There was like sure let’s do that, but I have to do a call first So I went for that call for 10 minutes of that for 30 minutes and then at the hour mark I was like, hey guys, I’m gonna go anyway That’s fine because she was clearly on a very long call and It seems like that I’m just sitting around in this studio with nothing left to do and I was officially done for the day So I had been in contact with your friend in mind an occasional guest host of this very program Dan Morin who lives not too far from where I was and He and I were arranging to see each other and he picked one bar He’s like, why don’t we go meet at the the Ritz Carlton Hotels bar?
And I texted him boy, I don’t know if I’m dressed appropriately and at the same time he was texting me except I don’t know if I’m dressed appropriately.
So we went to a different part that Dan’s wife Kat suggested and Dan tells me where it is.
And so I head out and it’s about it It’s a one mile from my hotel and I’m just gonna walk cuz it seems silly to get a car But like as soon as I start walking I get the thunderstorm warning and so now it’s a race against time to get there on time and I’m texting Dan my ETA and He at one point texts me using Siri from his car that he’s in terrible traffic I’m like, oh I might get there first and I do and I have occasional drizzle drops falling on me from the sky that’s rain, by the way, and But I beat the thunderstorm then I can’t quite figure out how to get into the bar We’re going to and I eventually do great Within like one minute of my getting into the bar just insane torrential thunderstorming happening outside Dan was pretty delayed by the traffic, but then he came and we had a nice time together and After Dan left it was still raining and I thought to myself I could go back to my hotel meet But I would get soaked so instead I will eat at this hotel Because we go to yet another hotel bar And so I got some dinner there and then when I finished that the rain had abated and I went back to my room Then in my room I was a definitely to screening because I was watching the boys on my iPad while watching the Eagles preseason game on my hotel room TV and One thing is for certain preseason games are very very stupid anyway Today one more day filming here in Boston and I get to go home and everybody should hold good thoughts that I get to jump On an earlier flight because I do have an early start tomorrow to go pick up my two younger kids from camp So the earlier I can get on the better in my opinion.
That’s all I got.
Happy Friday.
Happy weekend Lex
