Haven’t been paid yet, but I might just break even. Katie had some fun, but the heat got to her around noontime and she was pretty much out of commission for the afternoon shots.

hahaha that’s so awesome, Daddio. So was this the trip that killed your Nikon? James mentioned the Hannah Montana extras thing to me before, but apparently I forgot all about it ’til now. Did whatever they paid you make up for the gas and hotel? Did Katie have fun?

It was educational, to be sure. I know movie making is hard work, but I now have a greater appreciation for all those background artists who work long hours for little money (if they're non-union, anyways) through take after take after take.

Sounds like a fun thing to do and an opportunity to see what goes on on the other side of the camera.

Had she been there, she would have disappointed, I think. The Niece said she caught a glimpse of Miley C., or maybe her stand-in, but for the most part The Star stayed in her bus. I did not get to talk at all to Billy Ray, but from all appearances he seemed like a down-home kind of guy.

Believe it or not, I’d be willing to do it again, if it weren’t such a drive.

My 9-year-old daughter, when I tell her of this, will be envious beyond consolation… Thank god for the last 3D Hannah Montana concert movie, the advent of which (somewhat) made up for my not paying hundreds or thousands of dollars to catch the live concert when it came to Seattle…

Great story, WheatDogg.
