I leave for LA on Monday and my schedule is booked solid starting Tuesday through the next Thursday. The first Monday and last Friday are travel days and I have the weekend off.
Schedule is rigorous - 7AM to 8PM - I'm in the same amount of episodes (5) but the feedback from Season 1 was that there were too many talking heads in each episode, so they are reducing that down to mostly me and Da'Mon. We'll have one day where we just talk by ourselves in a different studio. They've given me a sheaf of prep material. Much of it I know already - I need references to dates and numbers, and there are a lot of those. But it's pretty intimidating. So many facts to get into place in my head, plus juggling schedule. Of the cast, I have the least front-of-camera experience, so that's rather intimidating. Then again, Danny probably has more front-of-camera experience than the whole cast combined, several times over.
I've been telling folks I'm going to Hollywood, even though I probably won't be anywhere near there (well, near in miles, but hours away in LA traffic). Hollywood just sounds better. Seeing as so few people are tuned into El Rey Network (only the coolest, and cool people are a dying breed), it conveys the 'reality TV star' message, as so few have really seen the show.
I hope to get together with Greg and maybe even the famous quotable tQ if she can find time in her busy schedule. Let me know. Srsly, it would be grand to see you guys. I also hope to connect with my Shaolin disciple brother who recently moved to LA over the weekend. Maybe see some sites, do something touristy. Schedule and hotel info coming soon,.
