COLORADO - NYC - NEBRASKA / S. DAKOTA - NYC - ILLINOIS - STL - NYC - VT

Squeezing a lot of states into one post - but that's fitting, since I squeezed in a lot of states into a few weeks. 6 in 3 weeks. About 8 nights of not consecutively sleeping in the same place.

Wedding #4 was middle step brother's in Colorado. Maybe the biggest most organized one (wedding planner for the day) I've been to thus far. What do weddings =? A lot of hard work and details.

Back to NYC for 3 days in time for screening World Circus at the Coney Island Film Festival.

Then, off to Nebraska - or what I surprisingly learned - South Dakota! I knew I was on a job for a week in Nebraska, but what I didn't know was the hotel was just over the border in another state.
A week in the middle of no where, land of vegetarian options being "tomatoes" and a town of 1,000. 10,000 visitors descended on the corn fields for the History Channel show. Golf carts, some outdoor work, and production = happy me, even though days started at 5am and 12 hours were spent with another bout of food poisoning.

After a 17 hour day of shooting the live show, which started airing literally before we were done editing, I realized I was headed back to NYC and hadn't reserved a couch to sleep.

3 days in NYC and then off to the last wedding of the year - #5!
(With a quick stop in Springfield, IL for a family hello)

This one was for a friend who I have known for 20 years. Insane. We used to play spy games and she was my first movie making buddy, when at eight, I bought my first video camera. This wedding was full of friends I've known forever and their parents. It was a wedding of visual doubles - so strange who we all become and getting a glimpse of it a little in advance.

So, after 5 weddings I think the only thing I was surprised to learn is I didn't hate them, they weren't as stupid as I thought they'd be - among other nice thoughts.
