My last night in Ohio Avenue was spent on the floor just like I began 44 days ago.
James and I spent the whole day yesterday cleaning. He rocked a shitload of dishes. I was on chachkie duty.
We filmed the potato guns firing in Cortland at Keith McAleer's house. This is one of his sweet puppies with James Roehl. I am pretty sure both were sleeping as I took this picture. I would like to join them when I get on the plane in a couple hours.
Tom and I are pretty ragged in this photo. All I remember is that it was a cold day to stand out in the snow shooting potatoes.
Tom and I constructed a mini-set for JIMMY'S POTATO GUN ASSEMBLY VIDEO. I laid out a bunch of random things on the table, including cereal, spoon, saw, hammer, PVC piping, jigsaw, stapler, and a deck of cards. It looks like Tom added donuts to the mix as well. I see a sprinkled one in the picture above.
Lizzie helped me paint the backdrop for JIMMY VISION. It is probably one of my favorite pieces that I got to do.
(Lizzie did the Campbell's soup can. There was no way I could draw that well.)
Keith McAleer and Thomas Henwood check out his performance on the EX1.
Our last day of principal photography was filled with little rubies here and there. Jared Greene offered the first jewel by pointing out how light readings were identified on the monitor.
Eugene was a little grease monkey! He really put the Chevy Celebrity back into shape. I couldn't help but laugh as he pulled out a tube from the engine and said, "Um...I'm pretty sure this is supposed to be attached to something."
He was right. By the time I got to see under the hood later in the day, I was more than impressed by the sheer number of zip ties that had been amassed to hold the various degenerating tubes and instruments in place.
"Looks like Frankenstein," I said.
"Yup," James agreed. "Car of Frankenstein."
Joanie Walkoff holds up the tee shirt that Lizzie painted. Talk about amazing? I can't wait for Lizzie to give me my tattoo when I come back to Youngstown for the premiere. I think I'll get all my tattoos from her from now on.

When we were kids my brother burned off his eyelashes with a potato gun (lashes grew back). Damn that gun was fun.
I liked that the dogs chased every potato we shot.
