Day 83 of The Great Santa Adventure 2013 – 33 Days to go.

Woke up and going around 6:00. 9:00 -11:00 stand-by for Hello Santa calls. 11:00 – 12:30 Santa calls for Hello Santa. 1:30 headed to LA for the Fantasy Factory. Arrived in downtown LA early. I was in China Town and the Toy District… parts VERY sketchy.  I parked in a lot at E 1st Street and Alameda. 3 others joined me in the lot (hot chick, cool dude and taxi driver). We were all Santa Ed at Fantasy Factory 11-13shuttled from the lot to the Fantasy Factory at 791 South Mission Road.  The place is incredibly cool. When I first arrived I took photos with everyone. It was a blast. I waited for 30 minutes or so and then Executive Producer, Shane Nickerson, came in and again told me how wonderful I did on Ridiculousness. We then shot the Fantasy Factory scene.  I was applying for a job as Rob Dyrdek’s driver and “life pilot”. The scene went well but I had a bunch of ideas after the shoot that I thought could have made it better. In the future I need to play many more scenarios through my mind prior to action.
