    Filming

    I've been working the last two weeks on trying to write my intro script.  Oh, not to any movie but my intro to the people that are living where I used to live.  And really, we're talking about a lot of people and a wide range of people too.

    I'm pretty sure that I'll run into an ex-girlfriend or two and that kinda scares me.  I think I'm going with this line: "Hi, I'm Mac and I used to live here".

    I thought of a couple of others: "Hi, I used to live here and I'm blogging and making a short film about it and maybe a book and... have you ever been on Oprah?".  But I think that's too long.

    I also thought that I should say: "I'm not here to sell you anything, but I used to live here".  that sounds innocent enough I think, it doesn't say my name and if I don't include that then forever I'll be: "Some guy at th door who isn't selling something".  Which doesn't sound that good either.

    These first couple I think I'll add: "And I'll be back because no WAY I've not screwed this up in some way".  The truth hurts.

    First houses

    OK, I think its about time to discuss the order that I'll visit these houses.  So many are in the bay area that I think I'll visit them first and learn my lessons locally.  It makes the most sense to visit the two houses that are the closest together, both on Alston Way in Berkeley.

    We moved here in 1970, I was 9 and my sister was 14.  I can't tell you how long we were there before we moved next door, but it was a fun house.  The major events I recall from that house, the split pea soup incident, playing "Murder", the cat poop in my room, a lady named Spider and a few other things.

    I hope to get there this weekend. I'll get into more details, including the second house, then...

    Wish me luck!
