Okay, so have you ever fallen down by doing something stupid? This past Tuesday, I did. I was getting out of bed to get ready for work and I ran into our vacuum cleaner. I had vacuumed the day before and neglected to put the dang thing away. You would have thought it was a 300 lb. linebacker that hit me, but nooooo, just a stupid vacuum cleaner. I totally wrenched by back and Clay had to take me to the emergency room. We got to the ER at around 6:45 am and 6 hours later, we left the ER! I figured that we would spend 2-3 hours, but not 6 hours! Well, they gave me a shot of some pain med, a Flexeril and a couple of RX's for Flexeril and Hydrocodone and sent us on our way.

It just so happened that San Diego Comic-Con hotel reservations opened that very same day at 11:00 am and there we sat in the ER! Needless to say, there I sat, in a wheelchair and neck brace with cell phone in hand and my trusty speed dial, calling to scoop up precious hotel reservations for San Diego Comic-Con 2007! I know that this doesn't sound like a very big deal, but it is. Last year all hotels in downtown San Diego sold out completely in 15 minutes. Well, my man Clay managed to get through and get us reservations in the very hotel we wanted. He's the Bestest! I had made reservations at the hotel of our choice about a month ago, so we would have a room just in case. The room rate was a whopping $399. per night!!! Thanks to Clay's dialing skills, we are getting that same room for $164. per night!!!! (sigh) He's my HERO.

Clay and Terry leave this evening for Austin, Texas to meet up with Stone to audition for VH1 World Series of Pop Culture! I'm so excited for them, I know that they are going to make it to New York! Terry, unfortunately is sick as a dog, but he's gonna be a trooper and persevere. Their audition is set for 10:00 am tomorrow (Friday). C lay has been studying his butt off, watching and reading anything and everything Pop Culture. The audition consists of a timed, written pop culture quiz that each team member has to pass, then they move on to a personal interview. The casting team will call back 8 teams from Friday and Saturday's casting to move on to the Regional Qualifier competition which will take place Sunday Feb. 11th. The team that wins the Austin Regional Qualifier on Sunday will automatically advance to The World Series of Pop Culture tournament being held in NYC March 21st-March 25th! The remaining 7 Austin Regional Qualifier teams will be put into a pool with the other selected teams from all of the other Regional Casting Events and Producers own casting selections and the Producers will select ten (10) "wildcard" teams from that pool to participate in the tournament.
GOOD LUCK GUYS!!
