Woah.
Mind's goin' a
mile a minute at the moment, bear with me.
So of course I
googled David Jacobs when I got the job but found
nothing but a steroid dealer, which I was certain he
was not... and I just kept on surfin'. Last night
however as I left the wedding he mentioned he was a
producer during some self-depricating moment and I
thought: "Hmmm..." Now google David Jacobs producer?
Whole different ballgame.
This is the
creator of Dallas and Knots Landing? Oh my freaking
GOD. Suddenly everything shifts, suddenly everything
changes and we come to yet another crossroads (among
hundreds) in The Journey that make up the soul of it
all. How best to allow this relationship to play out
to it's maximum potential. Because of The Journey I
have absolutely no way to avoid it. I can't let this
go, I have to find some way to bring up The Egos
sitcom if only to get a piece of advice. And how the
hell do I do that?
It's all just so
tricky. Networking pisses some people off. Some very
important people as I've found with Facebook. No
matter how sincere and loyal you are, it's risky,
risky, risky. Here's a guy that I legitimately like
first off. He's incredibly funny and likeable the
moment you meet him. I was taken aback at just how
"young" he came off though I believe he's pushin' 70.
And although all of that is sincerely true on my part
- what is now really attractive? Is the stories he has
to tell. Man, I want to know every goddamn thing that
man has ever seen, been involved in... just completely
soak in the environment of what it was like to have 2
massive hits in the 1980s. And I must admit, even that
is innocent on my part. It becomes difficult when you
then have to find a way to go: "Oh, by the way -
here's my tv show idea... what do I do? Can you help?"
Because it has no choice but to come up slightly
premature to our relationship. Meaning, I won't have
the opportunity to get to know him enough for him to
just ask - I have to bring it up....
...and it kills
me. Man this is literally the month of going against
nature isn't it? If it's Ohio Adam? I never mention
anything and at most just ask him what it was like to
be in TV back in the day. Because that's the right
thing to do. Well, that's the Adam thing to do. But
it's not the Journey Adam. The guy who can't stand
having boring entries, who is reading this site just
as curious as all of you... no, that guy knows damn
well he cannot let this pass. He has to risk
offending, he has to risk a whole myriad of things, to
make sure this plays out. He has to weigh the
cards/power he has with the cards/power David has and
find some way to make everyone happy - and he has to
do it quick. This wedding needs to be edited as soon
as possible as it's really only because his mother was
unable to make it (90 years old).
So, in
my first act of balls I'm going to link
him to my latest adent demo as an example
of my brevity in editing. The man has said
about 8 times that he wants things to be
quick, almost as if he's just not
convinced I know how to edit. LOL. You can
tell he's in TV now that I think of it.
Anyway, I figure an email to him with a
link to that demo, which packs about 8
years into 90 seconds, oughta show him my
editing ability and let him know what I
do.
And of course, I
have to knock the wedding video out of the freaking
park. And of course, this is totally locked and will
infuriate everyone.
