Surfer Dude - Day two

We left the house about 9am to make it to the set by noon. A van picked us up in the parking lot and took us to basecamp. The PA greeted us and told us that one of the big trailers was gone so two of us had lost our trailer for the day. The PA told us to hang out wherever we wanted, on the set or on the beach until they called Damien in to get his hair cut. We would just be there for 4 1/2 hours today anyway since Damien was leaving early to be in a school play (Oliver).

We mostly hung out with the fishermen again and sat with them at lunch. Lunch was great. We ordered from the menu at one window and pick it up at the next. They had a salad bar and desserts at the end of the table. Tables and chairs were set up outdoors with large pitchers of fruit punch. Before the hour lunch was up the PA came to find us. Time to cut Damien's hair!

Hair and Makeup Trailer. Getting his matching haircut.

Damien wasn't too happy because his hair wasn't long enough to donate and he knew this meant starting over to grow it again to donate to cancer victims. I sat in the "barber" chair next to my son which left two empty chairs on either end. While getting his hair cut, Matthew McConaughey came in and sat in the chair next to me, while Alexie Gilmore also came in and sat next to Damien. Both were having their hair fixed for shooting. I am starting to like hair and makeup trailers, this seems to be the place to sit next to the "stars" (see Everybody Hates Chris! lol).

Damien and Mario after the haircut.

After the haircut Damien was still sad, especially since they tried to slightly "poof" it out. They didn't match it perfectly to Mario's hair yet, they'd wait till Damien was needed for filming. We went to watch more filming on the set and heard that tonight they'd shoot the bonfire scene, which they couldn't get the fire to work quite right the night before. Before we knew it, we were told it was 4pm and time to leave for the play! Damien felt bad because they wanted to use Damien in the bonfire scene that night. Instead we drove straight from the set to the play, taking over two hours to get there and barely making it.

Dodger in Oliver.

The play went well and Damien remembered all his lines. Tomorrow's call for the set is at 11am.
