Cloning Would Greatly Improve My Social Life

We had an STBD shoot scheduled for yesterday evening -- one of the rare recent cases where I've actually been able to plan ahead by more than a few days -- when we discovered there was an Animal Friends benefit at the Firehouse Lounge at the same time.

I'm not much of a cocktail partier, but Animal Friends is a good cause. Plus, they evidently had some of the animals live at the event, and nothing voluntarily breaks my heart more than seeing potential pets granted their few moments of freedom before returning to their shelters -- unless someone adopts them on the spot. Alas, due to filming obligations, I couldn't go.

This is one of many such instances that happen when you live in a city that has a lot more going on than you might realize, but you can hardly ever attend anything because you're either filming or editing.

I know what you're thinking: why not film AT the events? And that would be a step in the right direction, despite the challenges of live location shoots. But carting around equipment and shot lists at a live event isn't exactly my idea of "socializing," either...

Once I get my time management issues under control, maybe I can work on teleportation.
