Post-Belly Update

The glorious Summer of Promise is starting to come to an end. While I'm ready for my final semester to start, I'm very happy with how this summer has turned out. It has been even better than I thought it would be. I had hoped for some awesome experiences and some lessons learned on set. I did learn lessons, but even more importantly I made friends that I'll keep in contact with for a very long time.
I had an amazing experience on the "A Beautiful Belly" set and I truly believe it is going to be an amazing film when it is all done. From what I've seen and done, I have great expectations for it.
We wrapped Monday night and had a post-wrap, pre-wrap party party. Here is the summary of what happened:

Christopher & the Walkins is a super group formed from members of Jeff & the Goldblums and James & the Spaders. Eventually most of the original members disbanded, and the remaining members later regrouped as Crispin & the Glovers. At the height of their popularity they included piano, three guitars, bongos, djembe, digeridoo, trumpet, trombone, accordion, harmonica, melodica, marroccas, and five tamborines.

I played two tamborines and sang backup. It was amazingly fun. It went late into the night and then some hanging out after.
The next night was our wrap party at Collin's house. There was drinking, Rockband, and clips from the film. It was hard ending something we had all gotten used to in the last month. I still haven't gotten back to real life since I've been in San Diego since the film ended. I go back in a few days, and after I move into my new place (finally!), it should feel more like normal.
I get back on Tuesday and I get to move in on Saturday the 1st. I'm ready for the next year to start, which is does on August 1st. Short term and long term goals are in place. This next year should be amazing. I'm not close to finishing with this summer's blog yet. I will continue this until the semester begins. That last bit on this blog will cover the official end of summer which is my Birthday Extravaganza at the end of August - the weekend before fall semester.
