Bubba Has A Job!!

movie studio | set builder

The Bubba has gone out and gotten a job. For a few months we've been wondering what all the construction going on right across the highway was all about. One day when his dogs came up missing we went back there and found out it will be the new home of Spiderwood Studio. Spiderwood Studio

Bubba has been going over there and checking out the progress and as usual, made friends with everyone and was helping out just to keep from getting bored.

I told him he should try to get on with the studio and lo and behold he got his first paycheck today!! He was really excited. The Main Man showed up today and was really pleased with his work, so informed him that when the studio finally opens he will be promoted to set builder.

He does have some experience. He has a credit in "The Legend of Ghostwolf" as a set builder Bubba's Credit and he dressed the gold room set so well that the director didn't make or want any changes made when he was finished.

I'm really excited for him but more proud of him than excited!!

Everyone wish him luck!!

Oh and I've been away for sometime. I took a full time job at a repair shop and still do the mobile repair thing on the weekends and after hours. It's been three months now without a day off!!! Hope everyone is doing well! Miss you guys and girls!!

That is so exciting!

That is so awsome! I am so hapy for him! I'll send him a message on myspace, but tell him I said so anyway. Nella is still talking about him. Her favorite thing to say is "My Bubba is in Texas with Mr. John". ;-)

Oh, and expect the respsonses to be a bit slow - there hasn't been a lot of activity lately.

Ok spooky where did everyone go??

Bubba the set builder. The guys at the studio want to see the Legend movie. These guys are from Hollywood and I don't know if I should show it to them or not. I did have a chance to meet one of them but the main man is gone back for now.

You should!

You should show them - not only will they see what Bubba built, but you can showcase yourself! You were really good in it. Oh, and here's something to piss you off! My copy got stolen! I had it in that green army bag along with most of my other dvds, and the whole bag was stolen while I was at my friend's house. The person who took them actually put my picture cd's in my car, so I was hoping they'd think 'Legend' was one, too (since I kept it in the manilla envelope) but it didn't get returned.

I am so excited for him. This could be a really good start for him.

Oh, and it's just been really slow. I've been "away" so that I actually work on my writing and not hang out here all day. But, as you can see, I'm still checking in. Mostly to see if I have any PM's (I never get notified about them anymore) but if a post title catches my attention, I'll read it. :-)

Bubba has a job? YAY!!!

Sassys

This is uhber cool Txkjun! Tell him Sassys says congrats, but that even with a grown-up job, he is still a BRAT! LOL. I have loads to tell you but have little access to a computer or even a phone these days...send me an e-mail ok?

Oh yes he is still a BRAT sassys

His hair is so long right now I might need to start calling him Babbette instead of Bubba. He was adding up all the hours he'll make next week and already has the money spent. Guitar of course. Oh and I have a really great guitar player giving him formal lessons right now.
This guy is really good and Bubba has already gotten a lot better.

Awwww Txkjun! That's so cool!

Sassys

I agree with Mz. Zola here...only I would like to add to what she said and ask you to "Remember us little folk" when you get that award:)

My brother is going up to see Will Akerman for the second time next month to record some of his stuff...Will Akerman has won many Grammies and so has his Sound Engineer, and they both will be working with him!

I think it's absolutely fabulous that Bubba is learning to play the guitar! Meantime how have YOU been doing? What's new mit you?

WOW!

Isn't it great when the kids start earning their own money? And especially doing something they love to do. This sounds right up your alley and it looks like it will turn into not only a good opportunity for him, but maybe for you too. I thought you were wonderful in the movie and the sets were very good. This may be the break you have been waiting for.....Hollywood....no less.....and....you'll have Bubba to thank or better yet.....when you and Bubba are accepting your academy awards.....you can go up on stage together....you for acting and Bubba for set design....you better let me know if you do!!!!

It is great ms zola

I hope he does well with them. Now he is talking about school again. Film school this time. First it was computers and he has a scholarship to a decent school for that. Then it was UTI to learn mechanics now it's film school. I guess only time will tell.
I wouldn't be in another movie for an award. I'd do it because it's hard work but the funnest work I've ever done!!

Well, good job Bubba

I love it when I hear about young kids getting jobs. Good for him. It does make you proud when your kids get out there and do something productive and work and build that work ethic. You know you did something right.
Dude, you gotta have at least one day off a week, or every two weeks. Be careful working that much. Mabey they will feel bad for you and give you a great paid vacation this summer!!

I need a break and I plan to head over to the studio in a bit to check on the progress. Bubba is loving his job. Right now he is building his new computer.

He thinks he's so cool. LOL

Well Txkjun he is cool!!

Sassys

Even the worlds biggest brats can be cool!

And a real heartbreaker, too, I'll bet.

Good job, Bubba! Congratulations on the new job!
