I rejoin the Pedaling For Change film crew today. I have been off-site for about 10 weeks while in school this summer. I was able to be there to get the project off to a good start in June and am thankfully able to be there to help finish strong. My starting point this month is in Kansas City, MO. Nick will be picking me up there from the airport and then driving me to where Austin and Tom are destined which is a little bit outside of the city. We will be meeting up with a host family there (hopefully) and I'll most likley have the night to catch up on footage and the system Nick has made for capturing and keeping everything organized. I don't think there will be much for me to do except pick up where Nick can't fill in because he is also doubling as the support crew for Rally Across America. I'm super pumped to be out of school and doing what I love to do again... not that I don't love school, I just REALLY believe in this project and I can't wait to get it in the can and start molding it into the documentary I have been invisisoning for so long.
I will basically be travling with Rally Across America until the tour is over in September. Right now, the last event is scheduled for September 9th. It WAS supposed to be September 5th but got pushed back due to an extra stop made in Iowa that wasn't previously planned. It was good that they made some time to go to Iowa, though, because the two other members of the Pedaling For Change film crew are from Iowa. Anyway, though, the Iowa stop pushed the final dates and events back to the 9th of September.
Originally, I was planning on finishing up with school, taking one day to pack and organize, and then flying to Kansas City to rejoin the crew. I was then planning on finishing up with them in Nashville on September 5th and then flying out of Nashville on the 6th or 7th for Salt Lake City, Utah to meet up with my aunt and take care of some business out there. I am planning on moving to the Salt Lake area (the goal is actually Park City) sometime in December and I really wanted to take this opportunity to go out one more time before I packed everything up and moved out there... just to get a solid idea of what my plan will be come December. I was then going to fly back to Savannah from Salt Lake on the 11th or 12th to start school on the 13th of September.
Now that the final Rally events are happening on the 9th, however, I'm not sure if I'll be able to fly out to Utah or not. If everything goes according to the plan that they have TODAY I would have to leave the night of the 9th, spend 2 days in Utah with my aunt trying to get everything ready and together for my move in December, and then fly alll of the way back to Savannah on the 12th. It just seems like a TON to do. It wasn't such a big deal when I was going to be in Utah for 4 or 5 days but now, only being there for 2 days, I'm worried the trip might hurt more than it helps. Expensive plane tickets coupled with rushed time just doesn't sound good to me.
Oh well. I'm sitting in the airport right now super frusterated, trying to figure out how the heck I can get to Utah before school starts on the 13th. I COULD skip my first two days of classes... only causing myself to miss the first day of ever class. This is usually not that big of a deal and since I'm only taking 3 classes and there is nothing extrordinary about them, I might be able to do it with a clear concious. If I do that, then I'd have unill that next weekend to come back from Utah and get my stuff together. I think that might be what I do. hmm... I'm already feeling a little better. That would give me a few more days until I have to get back to Savannah. If I do it that way, I wouldn't have to be officially back in Savannah until 12noon on the 18th of September.
hmm...
Anyway, from now on, my blog will be CROSS-POSTED (x-posted) to the Veritaz Prouctions Blog. All of my updates from the road with Pedaling For Change are posted on that blog so that people that we have met along the way ca keep up. The boys aren't really writers so they refuse to update it but since I'll be back I will probably update it daily if not every other day. Keep an eye out... most entries should be on both blogs.
We could be closer than you know,
