Bright lights of america video shoot

Oh man, how to begin talking about yesterday and it’s insanity! Broken bones, Eagle Man aka Louie Bones, roller derby girls, war of the worlds, rap battles, Coach Morello, Anti-Flag, satire, face paint, insanity, screaming, singing .. oh and the list goes on and on..
Shooting from around 8am - 12:30am.
Kira and I woke up at 5am to get ready and leave to head up to LA, we had no idea what to really wear, do our hair, or what to expect.
I got there wearing a corset, and a short pink parachute skirt with fishnets apparently everyone.. or most people seemed to like it. We were called in for makeup and got awesome flags/sports fan type make up painted on our faces, We had to be blood thirsty sports fans, ahaha this will me amazing to see what the final product will look like and how they’ll portray us. ahaha. great.

Then we waited around for a while, then started filming as cazy insane, spitting, screaming, yelling cursing, fans, to start the day, which I wish they did at the end of the shoot, when everyone was delirious and not so awkward. Any who, we stopped shooting the close ups of our blood thirsty-ness.
The the beginning of the screaming, cheering, cursing and the derby war of the worlds death match began :D

Around 11:30 Anti-Fl;ag showed up (since that’s when their plane arrived from texas) and so louie introduced me to them and Chris 2 was talking up the upcoming shoots he was thinking of, which I really would like to participate in/think is brilliant.
We started filming even more crazyness of the Roller derby girls kicking fucking ass, whomat the end of the day, there were broken collar bones, ribs, arms, wrists, legs, noses, and cheeks, and I am not even mentioning the bruises, fractures, or sprains. We had a surprise guest/cameo come in and wow, holy shit a god in the eyes of music, whose is also on Guitar Hero video games!

We filmed from 7 AM and finally got a break for lunch at 1:30PM for lunch for 30 min which apparently was told to us it would happen at 11ish and they brought in pizzas 4 small pizzas that.. were each 36 inches in diameter (and thats the small size!) during the break Chris 2 and Justin and the surprise guest filmed an interview for MTV news that should be out next week!! *eeps* and who knows if the video will air then or if we were also in Making the Video.. After the interview Louie introduced me to two of his friends whom I am completely blanking out on their names. Kira and I were dragged back to start filming again, more cheering, screaming, singing, and close up shots as well as more crashing/smashing of the roller derby girls, over and over and over again while Anti-flag flag started "playing" take after take after take, sometimes the full song would play, soimetims i t was a op partial. I swear I do not want to hear that song for a long time, ahaha, but that will be over tomorrow i bet ahaha.

I became really close with everyone who was in my section we all were going delirious together cracking jokes, cracking puns and saying things that connotated to other things. sadly I forgot to get everyone’s numbers since my phone died early on, but I want to chill with all of you guys asap, prob see most of you guys on Sunday.

Pat, Justin and Chris kept on coming over and taking to us and couldn’t thank us enough for coming and staying till the end and being apart of our one big happy family. Pat came out and made fun of the signs saying one of them was so "vanilla" because all the signs were like Rip their limbs off, ram into them, kill kill kill, then there was the sign that just said SKATE.. kinda really funny. I guess you had to be there type of thing.

.We didn’t get a dinner break till 9pm or was it 10pm. I love how it was supposed to be one shot, and then a break for 20minn, two hours later we finally went on break all delirious, coughing up blood or living with hoarse throats. We had more ginormous pizza, and chocolate pieces/cookies took pictures with the band for their pages, fans, memories. mtv, etc and we got copies of fake newspaper issues the made.... After our 20 -30min break we went back to work and didn’t end up leaving till 12:30am to film the finial few scenes/opening scene of the video with Louie aka eagle man :D (the guy on the over of their new cd) and yea which that one take that couldn’t be redone was all lies!!! We filed it for around 2 hours ahaha.

I give MAD MAD probs to the derby girls
and the few fans that stayed till the end.

my voice is gone, we all ended up coughing up blood from screaming/yelling/ cheering so loud.

Thanks again to Louie, Kira and Anti-Flag to making yesterday amazing.

and to whom ever else i met I had a blast, six flags meet up anyone?
