I am Academia

I've been rather busy lately.  Two weeks ago on May 28 I took part in commencement ceremonies in which I earned my first Master's Degree.  My mom and pops were in town for the event and stayed for a bit.  Did A LOT of the tourist stuff with them.  Everything from LA Angels baseball games to the Aquarium of the Pacific.  I took them beach bumming to Newport Beach, Long Beach, Venice Beach, Santa Monica, Balboa Island... and so many more.  Went out to Temecula and did a day of winery touring (which does include a lot of wine tasting).  Of course they wanted to do the Hollywood thing so we did the "strips" (Sunset, Hollywood, Santa Monica Blvds) and hit all the tourist traps like Mann's Chinese Theater and all that.  We also did the Hollywood sign hike.  It was a nice day when we hiked up for the sign.  I even took the rents out to J. Depps' Viper Room to see my friends band play.  Dad loved it.  Mom loved the sun, the pools, and the beaches. 

So back to a life less ordinary in sunny SoCal.  I have some time off from the books so I think I'll travel a bit this summer.  Maybe even move.  I thinks things are changing.  Can't wait to see what's next.

LA infamy

Well it's been a while since my name has been featured in an article in a Hollywood periodical such as The Hollywood Reporter or the Ross Reports TV and Film.  I was recently doing a Goolge search with my name and came across an old one from the Ross Reports TV and Film from back in 2004.  The best part is I am the cliffhanger at the end of the sample article.  To read more one has to either register for a free trial or pay for an account.  Well, it's not hard to gage what is said after the ... but I like this anyway.  So if someone were randomly searching my name on Google they would ask them self "Garrett is no ...?". 

Many of my friends know the talent agency I was for working at that time, but do they know my current agency?  Well the Ross Reports chose not to disclose that information and my blurb in the Hollywood Reporter is not searchable on Google. Oh well.  I like cliffhangers.  Bout time I got the quality press!

Here's the link for those that don't know my last name and want to partake in my cliffhanging Ross Reports TV and Film article: http://www.highbeam.com/library/doc0.asp?docid=1G1:113640717

pilots

consumed by pilots right now.  what a busy pilot season this year, got some really good action for many of our hot young clients.  great for keeping me in the paperwork and great for keeping me up all night reading some really crappy pilot scripts.  so FEW pilots have any actual quality content.

I digress, probably won't post for another week.
