Lincoln's Packing his Equipment


Hi Everybody!
Tonight I worked at Universal Studios filming a concert in the Gibson Amphitheater sponsored by Rock Corps, an organization that requests volunteers donate their time to various community service projects in exchange for concert tickets. A number of bands performed, including Puddle of Mud, Busta Rymes, and Akon to name a few. Its hard to believe that in one short week I'll be in a much quieter place...

I'm gettin' really excited about heading off into the wild west.
I was lucky enough to work with Boston Productions on the films for the National Historic Trails Visitors Center in Casper and I've got to tell you - we are all in for a tremendous adventure! The people here in LA that I tell about the trip, friends and professional film-makers, are awestruck with envy at the opportunity we are all sharing.
I'm starting to make lists: film equipment, sound gear, camping stuff, clothes... Will it be hot or cold, or both?, I promise myself to remember my good rain gear, while hoping I'll never need it. Don't forget the little camping pillow from the trip I took hunting for Bigfoot with the Sci-Fi channel. Granola bars, chocolate, and beef jerky. Let's see, what else. Oh yeah, a petsitter for the cat. Hmm - pay the rent and bills before departure. The excitement builds!
I think the students are going to be amazed at the hardships endured by our forefathers...and we'll have it easy by comparison! Will the animals have enough water? Will the people? What do you mean, we can't just run to the 7-11?
Let your imaginations run wild! And I hope we have a really capable, inventive cook!
Bring a book or two, a deck of cards, some sort of small instrument. No TV! We're going to have to talk to each other!
Get ready to navigate the desolation in our prairie schooners, our desert ships.
I'll enclose a few pictures that will help you envision our trek...
