confession time

Amanda & Billy have 'friends' [on dvd] playing in the background - so I'm wearing my headphones with 'olsen olsen' turned up as loud as I possibly can without blowing the tiny speakers [or my ear-drums]... it's the only way I'll be able to get anywhere with this post.

For starters, why is this post titled "confession time"? Well, now that the trip along the pacific coast is done, and Amanda and I are safe and sound at home - it's probably safe to admit that going into this - we had no money... no time... and absolutely no training. But - we weren't about to let any of these things get in our way of doing something we felt was important - for both project pedal as well as on a personal level.

It's easy to sit around anxiously awaiting that moment when all the pieces fall perfectly into place - in this case: the money for this film... the time for the shoot... the crew... the equipment... the resources... the stability... but more often than not, that moment when everything comes together as planned, never comes - and before you realize it, three years can pass you by without making any progress.

Sometimes you have to just have faith that the things you absolutely need will come when you absolutely need them as long as you're willing to take the risk.
