Seattle, Day Thirteen

A short post tonight. Back shooting in Seattle today after a short trip to Olympia yesterday. It was a wonderful and crazy day yesterday as we had our longest day and shot so much stuff that it's a little hard to believe - portraits with Charles Peterson, steadicam with Bela, underwater footage at a swimming pool, an impromptu alley show with our friends The Pasties, shots in an office, at KAOS, the Evergreen State radio station where Nirvana played an important early show, and seemingly much much more.

Leaving Olympia last night made me feel a little strange - I've come there four times in the last six months and now I have no definite date of returning (aside from the notion of coming back with a finished film). And I'm so grateful to everyone in Olympia that was such a help in making the film there, especially Kendl and Joe, Evan, the Bushes, the folks on Pear Street, Heather at Caffe Vita and everyone who let us shoot in their business or house.

Today in Seattle, the entire crew deserved a bit of a shorter day so we tried to cut early and have a chance to have a drink after the shoot and enjoy each other's company. I'm going to miss my friends on the crew when our shoot is completed.

A bunch of strange coincidences during our shooting today, and further evidence that Kurt is tied to so many people in all of these communities: random people who happen to cross our path have a connection. It's has gotten to be so widespread that we're all not quite certain what to think.

Hi AJ!

I've read your blog about the Kurt Cobain documentary and a couple of news stories, and I think it sounds quite interesting. I also noticed you linked to my discussion board (at nirvana2.com) with respect to some remarks from Paul Fritts.

Anyhow, I'd love to talk with you about the documentary and perhaps do a little interview or something.

Could you perhaps e-mail me (webmaster@nirvanaclub.com) at your convenience? Thanks!
