Whistler weekend

This weekend we headed up to Whistler to celebrate Claire and Dustin's stag/stagette! It was such great weather, here's the view from our townhouse balcony.
There wasn't a lot of craziness (like at my stagette), but we did play Cards Against Humanity!
Here are a few from our group, being silly in the village.
We walked through the Olympic Park. I was glad to see it in person, after seeing so much of it on TV dying the 2010 games.
This plaque made me tear up a bit! I am still so proud of ALL our medalists!
The group did a bunch of activities: white water rafting, ATV'ing, zip lining! We were only up for two out of the four days, so we opted to do our own thing and meet up with them for meals. We went to the Scandinave Spa.
It was AMAZING! We had a massage and then went for a dip in the hot and cold baths. It was so great, we'll definitely be back!
We also walked to Lost Lake Park.
Here's the mister, taking some pics.
It was a great little getaway, only 2 hours by car. I'm excited to go back when there's snow on the ground!

Same Boat Filming

What a great weekend! We filmed for "Same Boat", which we already did the music for. We were up in Whistler at this beautiful house on Alta Lake: 
Set dec transformed the house into The Overlook, the Bed & Breakfast where our leading lady lives.
It was a great bunch of crew and cast and I just had an awesome time!
The weather held up too. We only had about half an hour of rain all weekend and it didn't interrupt the shoot at all. This first day was hot and sunny, so I got lots of Vitamin D!
Here's my and my girlfriend Cathy - we played a musical lesbian couple :)
Here's our director David on the right, and our Director of Photography Kenneth at the camera. They were so great to work with!
And just LOOK how gorgeous the lake is:
Cathy did ALL the work while were in the boat. Seriously, she had to paddle, try to keep the boat in frame AND sing and act.
The last take of the shoot was where 5 boys dive off the dock and into the (chilly) lake. We only had one shot at it and they nailed it.
Such a great weekend, I'm on a film set high. But I slept for a full 8 and a half hours last night - between this and New York, I was exhausted. I'm looking forward to my life calming down a bit :)
