Off to Sacramento

What a day! Dave Vixie came down and helped me with the auditions here in Sacramento. We had 24 students come out. All are so interesting and fun it is going to be extremely difficult to winnow the field and only take a few of the students out to travel with us this summer. This is our last round of auditions. Tomorrow I head to Oregon to do some pre-production location scouting. Because we don't want our cast to know all about the areas where we will film, I won't say much about the scout until we are actually on the trail.

Denver and Boston Auditions

What excitement. This is our first big day of auditions for the film. While Bob and Andre are doing auditions in Boston, I'm in Denver with my good friends Mike and Chuck, who regularly work for Wyoming Tourism, but who are here on their own time. All of the kids were great to meet. I asked one boy, "Have you ever been to Wyoming," and he said, "Not if I can help it." Chuck and Mike and I busted up laughing...(Bob will probably not appreciate our guffaws on the audition tape). When I told the student that Chuck and Mike work for Wyoming Tourism, he broke into a grin and did an impromptu ad for Yellowstone. Just great! What fun it is going to be to work with these kids this summer.
