Bulgaria Part I
Well here I am. My flight went well, about 15 hrs air time with 2 layovers.I went from Austin to Charlotte, NC...took about 2 hrs, then after a short layover from Charlotte to Munich Germany. OMG that is a big airport. The size of a small city. But everyone was very nice and helped me get to my gate without hassle. Most everone I encounted spoke both German and English.From there another 2+ hr flight and we landed in Sophia, Bulgaria. it was a beautiful flight coming in, Sophia is completely surrounded by mountains.A sweet young lady named Milana met me at the airport and her driver; Dio drove me to my hotel.
Everywhere I looked I saw tall, crowded concrete tenement buildings. And very small cars whizzing in and out of traffic, including Dio on our large-ish Kia mini-van. Lots of Kia's, VW, and BMW's. Then once downtown, it looked more like Austin. Lot's of shops/stores on the side of the road, much like the new South Congress area. People walking to and from with bags in hand.Arriving at our hotel; Kempinski Hotel, a 5 star by Bulgairan standards, 3.5 stars by mine. Still, very nice, just aged a bit.
Again everyone was friendly and spoke english. Maybe not fluently, but more than enough to get by.I was handed my sealed copy of the script by Milana and was told to be ready at 230pm tomorrow.
Wow, I get a whole day to go over my lines. Sounds like WWTBASH all over again. Very rushed with little infomation given until the last minute.So far, my big thoughts are; eastern europeans must be small, the chairs are short, the shower is at my chest level, and my feet hang off the twin size bed they gave me. (again, like WWTBASH). My room does have 2 twin beds, I think I'll slide them together...we shall see. I know that no one here recognizes me from the show, but I get the strangest looks. It seems I'm an avg. of 1 foot taller than most people here, men included.
Oh! I am excited when I found out who the main actor in the movie is; Kevin Sorbo! He was the star of the TV series; Andromeda. He has many other roles but that's where i know him from. Oh, that and the TV series Hercules.Just from scimming the script, it looks like I have about 7 appearences and about 15 lines. Not completely sure just yet. They have me double billed as; Deputy Johnson and The Defuser so I'm glad I brought the spandex.
The directors name is Gary Jones, the only film I know he's done was a horror movie; Boogyman 3 . Did I mention there's a 24 hr casino down stairs in the hotel?
It's 3am here, which means it's about 7 pm in Austin. My sleep schedule is still suffering but I'm going to try to head back to bed soon.I did just buy Red Alert 3 and plan on getting in some CoH time as well.I hope everyone is well.
I'll be keeping you posted!!!
Defuser out!
