Generator Shuffle

By Tony Vallone story, screenplay, associate producer

I was up for 30 hours yesterday. Up at noon to go to the Apple store to fix my new Black Macbook (which is now completely dead - expect slow updates of the site as a result) and then making calls trying to secure extras and locations. Then we were on set from 6pm to 12pm setting up, filming, and breaking down. At 12pm it was time for a small team of idiots to drive from Palo Alto to Oakland on no sleep to swap generators. On the way the generator needed to be topped off which required a 30 minute visit to the gas station. Cheveron was very happy to provide me with $350 worth of gass to fill up the tank. In the process my credit card was flagged for suspicious use. I don't blame them, typically I buy $50 of gas once a month for my little car. $350 is the most I've ever spent at a gas station.

Once we swapped generators it was a slow drive back to the Palo Alto where I was greeted with a nice box to ship off my computer to be "fixed". This is not the proper place for it but I definitely want people to know that Apple built me a defective computer and their customer service department is doing a horrible job of keeping me happy.
