Of course, that's just my opinion, I could be wrong

It's about time

The past two weeks have been very crazy. A lot going on, not enough hours in the day, juggling C coverage when there's a random hour where either G or I can't be where we're supposed to be etc. Another change going on is over at "American Idol".

For reasons too complicated to explain, they've replaced the director who's been with the show from Day 1. G and the Technical Director got through the show that particular day and the producers had to do some quick thinking as to what they were going to do on short notice. What was ultimately determined was that the TD would direct the shows until they go to the main stage with the Top 12 (which is next week) and make a determination at the end of this week's worth of shows. Chances are they'll give the series to him which is good for the TD but still a little unfortunate because the real upward progression is for the Associate Director to move up the chair to the Director position. But, the producers did give G one huge break and he'll be the Director on their big "Idol Gives Back" special in April. It's huge. A 2 1/2 hour live special and a big network opportunity. We've had some BS bad luck with not getting network approvals on certain shows so once G accomplishes this show, as we all know he'll do with flying colors, they can't throw that back that he doesn't have network directing experience (which is a hunk of you know what to begin with). It's going to open all sorts of doors for him that he so well deserves.

So I'm really proud of and excited for G and this opportunity. I know he's going to kick ass and take names and prove to people what a totally competent Director he is. So be sure to tune in and cheer when you see his name at the OPENING titles. It's going to be so darn cool.
