Yesterday was a great day. I took the day off from work and Jenny and I took June to Disneyland. By the end of the day we were both exhausted. I had no idea what I was going to do for my creative project at the time. I tried contacting my friend Colleen because she has a super amazing insect collection that I’m looking forward to film with the macro lens. Unfortunately she lost her phone and I never got in touch with her.
I decided to take my camera out and hit the streets. Perhaps, I thought I could capture some macro textures from around Fullerton. I stopped by a Fullerton bar called Mulberry Street to see the Nerdy Thursday show put on by my friend Jesse La Tour. I watched the show until it ended around midnight.
I still hadn’t done anything creative. I told my friend Kevin that I was heading out to find some creative thing to do and he perked up right away. He quickly began throwing out all of these ideas. I was flattered by the fact that he was so energized to help me out.
So I decided to do one of his ideas. The idea was we approach someone outside and get them to say 5 to 9 words. Then we’d go up to somebody else, tell them the previous words and get them to continue the thought with 5 to 9 more words and so on and so on.
I thought it was a cool idea as I am a big fan of improvisation but I think maybe we chose the wrong time of day to do it because pretty much everybody was inebriated. It devolved pretty quickly but it’s all good. It was a good idea that I would be willing to try again but next time I’d be stricter and I’d do it during the day.
I should warn you that if you have children who follow the blog with you that this one might be a little inappropriate for them. I like to keep the blog kid-friendly for the most part because creativity should be for all ages. Never the less, here it is.

ha. this is great. perfect actually. hey, how old is your daughter? mine is 3 and 1/2, trying to decide if disney world is good at her age.
Thanks Rabbitears. Junes 18 months now. I’m of the opinion that no child is too young for Disneyland. I mean they’re most likely not going to remember it but they still understand whats going on at the time. Did you mean Disney World in Florida?
jaja! Great…
no not florida; not sure why I typed “world.” I live in Echo Park, so “land” would be the place for me.
Excellent vid
Fun! Thanks, Charlie!
No worries Kevin. Thanks for helping out!
