Off To LA On Wednesday
January 24th, 2010 by *Scarlett
Well it looks like I am headed out to this event for the Boondock Saint’s 10th anniversary party. I’m actually pretty excited, afterall Boondock Saint’s had a huge impact on me back in the day, it actually changed me around from a hooligan to a pretty decent person.. yes, I was an impressionable young thing. What can I say? During the pre-teen and teen years everyone feels like they are the only one who feels a certain way, add my life to it and it’s like quadruple the average angst. BDS just so happened to portray a lot of what I saw first hand as being wrong and the desire for some right to be put back in the world and as cheesy as it sounds, it was the first time I ever felt “normal.. like I wasn’t the only one seeing the ugliness in the world. I mean before BDS, you try explaining to classmates that the reason you don’t have a family is because some guy murdered your mother, and they look at you like you’re nuts! But the truth is it happens everyday and BDS made me see that other people saw it too. For a movie, it played a HUGE role in saving me from myself. Besides that, I admire Troy Duffy to high heaven for refusing to settle on his ideas for the project and for having such great ideas, and the cast was brilliant.
I will admit it, when it comes to the BDS, I am a relatively die hard fan for the reasons mentioned above and it’s nice to be a fan every once in awhile instead of answering questions about this project or that. It’s a spur of the moment, fly out for 16 hours, and back to work event, but I find it worth it! Yep, I’m totally hard headed like that.
If I don’t get to go, I’ll be bummed but that’s all right. I’ll make lemons out of lemonade, I’ll still be in LA and have some face time with a potential new agent who actually appreciates my various side projects and overly divulgant tendencies. He said it makes me “real”, so no matter what I have a feeling that it will be a win win regardless 
So yay random trips! I am thankful that my recent work has put me in a position to be able to come and go at will, and I am thankful that BWI has such ridiculously low airfare!
