I finally got my hands on some Production Photos shot on location from the film shoot of "Negotiating Sins".  Here's a sample of a few.  Click here for the rest.

The film is based on the script "The Life Of Reilly" that you can find on the scripts page.  For more details on the coming short film, go to the film section on the menu and look for "Negotiating Sins".

Here is a great video of some guys trick riding their bike around St. Kitts.  It gives a great view of some scenery around some country roads that you might not otherwise see very often, even living here.  It goes all the way from Basseterre to Sandy Point.  The video and scenery get much better about half way through.

 

Not sure about their plan to not wear any leathers or safety gear.  That could prove costly in a crash...

Well, I wanted to get some video of the "Negotiating Sins" movie shoot by now, but I 'm having a hard time.  This is the only clip that the producers would send me.  It's short, but I decided to post it anyway.  Very riveting stuff indeed. lol.

I finally broke down and joined Facebook.  Check out my profile here.  You'll have to sign up to see the profile though.  It worked out well as I've already been in touch with some people I haven't seen in years.  If they let me join, they'll let anyone join that thing.

 

I've got a tough day today.  It's starting at the beach, then moving to the pool and ending with a movie and a beer or two on my night off.  I don't know how I get by....

 

I just got back from my day out.  Here's a few shots around the North Pool.  It's the smallest pool on the resort so it's always much quieter there than at the other pools.  Great spot for relaxing.

My buddy Phil Goora will appreciate these next couple of pictures.  I brought the old tennis racket back to Saint Kitts with me since I've been hitting the courts a lot lately, and I couldn't help but notice the sticker on the racket.  I've included a close up so you can see clearly.  Phil would be proud.  These strings have been on a long time, but they still work fine.

We recently had a going away party for Candace, the IT Manager at the Royal Beach Casino.  It was a nice get together, but a little sad as Candace has been at the casino for quite a few years and has made many close friends on the island.  She is going to work in Florida for her next adventure.

Lucky Friday the 13th!  Myself, Larry, Tristan and Pete hit the Tigers Nightclub for a night of carousing.  It was $20 entry fee that included all drinks for free.  Can't beat that deal.  Here's a little video of inside the club.  It's a little dark as you would expect from a club.

Still recuperating from the marathon hockey game last night.  Gotta love the playoffs!  It's my night off so I'm taking in a little movie, Alpha Dog.  Guess it's based on the real life tale of Jesse James Hollywood.  Of course it is Justin Timberlake's movie debut, and I guess he did a respectable job.

Happy Easter!

 

Before heading back to Saint Kitts, I was able to take in some sightseeing in Old San Juan in Puerto Rico.  It was quite a beautiful area, as you can see from the photos.  There wasn't a whole lot of shops open due to Easter, but I was still able to get a little shopping in.

I flew to Puerto Rico to stay the night.  The flight was delayed in Buffalo, so I had to take a later flight out of JFK to make it to Puerto Rico for the night.  I ended up staying at the Best Western San Juan Hotel and Casino, right at the airport in San Juan.  It actually wasn't a bad place and the casino treated me well.  The airport had some entertainment going on with a group of singers and dancers moving around the airport entertaining the crowds.

Here's a few extra shots outside Toronto from the trip that I just came across.

It's Good Friday and so our plans for some shopping didn't go well.  Guess we need to pay a little more attention to the holidays when they happen.  It was, however, a good day for a visit to Niagara Falls to see the Horseshoe Falls and American Falls and do a little sightseeing.  First was a stop at Table Rock to do some sightseeing before checking out the falls.  Unfortunately it was snowing like crazy, so it was a little chilly to say the least.

Myself and Jason went to Chip and Charlie's in the Falls where we met up with Big Al and Armenti.  There was actually a pretty good crowd there for a Thursday night.  All the talk was about the upcoming Habs vs. Leafs game on Saturday.  Guess the playoffs have started early...

I just realized I didn't get a picture of March, guess that's a good thing, he probably would have done some serious damage to my camera.  Burn!!

Tonight was dinner at the Wild Mushroom Sports Bar on Victoria Avenue in Niagara Falls.  I worked as a bouncer at the Wild Mushroom for quite a few years while I was living in Niagara, so it was good to get back for a little visit.  Geoff Taylor is the owner and he is a good friend of mine.  He was a great host as always.  Sherry can be seen tending the bar in the first photo.

They have a little tradition at the Wild Mushroom where patrons sign a dollar bill and stick it on the rafters.  Needless to say, there is a small fortune in dollar bills on the ceiling.  You can get a taste of it in the photos.  The last picture is a traffic light that the kitchen lights up when a food order is ready.  Not a bad little idea.

Tuesday Nights are Industry Night at the Dragonfly Nightclub, located at the Fallsview Casino Resort in Niagara Falls, Ontario.  We hit the club around 11pm, right when the action was getting started.  It was packed, but not too crazy, so it was a good night to go.  I tried to take a few pictures, but it was so dark that they didn't come out as good as I hoped.

I'm staying at the Renaissance Hotel at the Skydome in Toronto.  The room is overlooking the baseball field but unfortunately there are no Blue Jays games going on this week.  They are starting the season on the road.  The room is great because of the two levels it has.  The first level is the bedroom and then the second level leads upstairs to where the living room is and the view out the large picture window of the field.  You can even open up the windows and hear everything going on at the Skydome.  It is pretty cool to be able to watch the workers putting the field together in preparation for the Blue Jays season opener.  I was able to get a little video of the work as it happened.  There is also some pics of the room and its view of the field.

The trip to Canada has been great so far.  The filming of "Negotiating Sins" went well and I should have updates and pics from the film shoot in the near future.

 

Tonight we went to a Toronto Raptors game.  They took on the Charlotte Bobcats at the Air Canada Center in Toronto.  Raptors dominated throughout and won the game, 107 - 94.  With the victory, the Raptors clinched a spot in the playoffs.  Hopefully they'll do well.  Here's a few pics from the game, as well as a couple of videos at the bottom:

The video is the Raptor doing a nifty dance number with the Raptor Cheerleaders.

Take a bow, Raptor.  You're pretty entertaining!!
