“I feel a greater kinship with Audubon than I do with fried chicken”
Last night I watched the boys‘ video footage from their 6-week tour. Most of it. They did a very good job, shot it well, got some great scenes, gave me a lot to work with and made me very excited about finishing the whole doc in general.
On the second tape, there was a scene where they’re driving in the van and start to give personal messages to me. Keeping in mind these were four testosteroned boys stuck in a van together for over a month, their acclamations varied from “Ryan says we love you so I guess we do” to Jame’s “I feel a greater kinship with Audubon than with fried chicken” to a broader positive analysis of my body. Despite the borderline objective gender-based comments and playboy references, their individual monologues were kind enough to feed my ego for at least a week. Also it reminded me how much I love having so many guy friends. It’s way better than a harem of wimpy girl friends, but never better than an international network of tough female compatriots, thankyouverymuch.

I would post a clip of some of their very funny tour footage, but I’m still in the capture phase so we’ll have to settle for this photo Jay sent from their trip. 48 comes before all other projects. And then summer comes. I can’t wait to jump on A.’s trampoline in the mornings, bike in the daytime, box at night. My bones have forgotten how to move. I am going to get back in shape or die trying.
