The REEL thing!

So yesterday was officially a 'chill day' spent it not touching any uni work whatsoever, despite my plans to get a little bit done..
Had only one errand of the day and that was to go with Mum to get our passport interviews as I am currently in the process of getting a passport. It would have been in much more of a progressive state however the incompetent lady who took our 'passport photos' neglected to take the photo properly eve when they knew it was a passport photo... anyway I won't rant on about that. I had the opportunity to be trusted by Mum so I drove around locally so instil confidence within her so that I can get some driving hours up because I am not even a quarter of the way through gaining hours to go for my licence.

After facebooking as usual I decided to great a much long awaiting blooper reel of our day filming, 'Visitare La Nonna' which was a short film I made with some of the best friends ever. Took me about 5 hours to stitch together as I had to reupload footage. It is just bloopers and therefore it isn't cut perfect but rather a montage of our filming day. I have realised however that I need to take much more behind the scenes recording as we had hilarious discussions and moments.. such as making my friend, Amy have a big booty.

This is the video, yes we are a crazy bunch!
(if you haven't seen the short film, or would like to rewatch it, it's a couple of blogs down.)

Rock of Ages!

One of my favourite theatrical performances all year, Rock of Ages!
A love story told in the true rocker style. Crazy hair, bright lights, fog machines, glitter and pamphlets showering the audience.. no worries... oh yeah and a bit of bum. We had third row seats just off centre, perfect for capturing and being involved in the true essence of the production! Seats make ALL the difference, so if ever there is a chance of getting good seats and paying a tad more I try and take it! The ushers decked out in their 80s rocker and groupie outfits not only guiding us to our seats but asking if we wanted any drinks delivered mid performance, selling programs and CDs, merchandise (had to buy the tshirt and program), the works. Actually come to think of it, perhaps a concert environment better describes the atmosphere. (even with the expensive price for snacks! Hahaha)
From the first act, the audience were drawn back in time into this recreated world where a love story nestled, a love of a boy, and a boys love for the music. The theatrical performers successfully conveyed all the action, drama, dope from the late 70s and 80s. If I had the money I would go again without a doubt! -enters all the online competition for free tix- It's a must see!!!!! OMG GO AND SEE IT!!! 
Cannot forget the highlight of hearing the songs of the 80s soo smoothly weaved into a performance! 

Before I go I will leave you with a great quote, line, phrase, lyric...
Don't Stop Believing!
