This week has flown by and I again am so sorry about the lack of updating! Believe it or not I have been going to sleep around 10pm lately so to be honest I just havent had time to blog. But! This was a great week at work. I made 3 trips down to SoHo to deliver things at The Knot magazine which was awesome. I love running errands. I also spend most of the week contacting castles and mansions in the Westchester and Long Island area for a new Bride that we have. Who knew that just calling a list of venues to get all the info would take so long! But I don't care because frankly I love talking on the phone to people I don't know. I like sounding professional (no one has to know I'm just an intern!). This is my opening statement: "Good afternoon ______, I am Amanda with Swank Productions and I have a client who is interested in your venue for their summer wedding and I have some questions for you."
Cool huh? hahaha....well I love it! I sound like I actually know what I'm talking about and that is just so fun!
Any who-
The two big stories for the blog are.......my 2nd trip to see Robert Pattinson and my upcoming travel plans.
Soooo...on Tuesday I knew Remember Me was shooting on the Upper East side which is not exactly close to my work....(i work on 29th on the west side....he was on 85th on the east side...) but being the savvy subway traveler I am, I decided that I could totally make it there and back in a little over an hr during my lunch break. The moment I decided to go I literally ran from the office down to 28th street to catch the 1 up to Times Square (i didnt want to waste any time walking when i could be looking at Rob! duh!). I bolted out of the 1 train and ran downstairs to catch the 7 which I barely made. I then shoved my way -sorry people but i had a husband to see-through the Grand Central station to catch the 4,5,or 6 train that would take me uptown. Luckily I got the express train so it went 30 blocks non stop to where I needed to go.
I got out of the subway station and pulled out the map that i drew--i draw mini maps all the time--and got to the set as quickly as possible. I saw about ten girls standing on the sidewalk so I knew I had found the correct place. I approached a girl and we started talking. She told me that they had just stopped for lunch...my luck right?! Well I had the brilliant idea of whispering to the girl that we should walk over by the trailers which were 1 block south. We waited over there for about 15 minutes just chatting with a couple other girls before security told us to move back a little bit. Right after they did Rob came out of his trailer and began walking toward us to his make up trailer. I was in the front and center of the group so he had to have seen me. It was pure awesome. We then waited a little longer and within ten minutes Pierce Brosnon and Rob walked back out of the trailer back to the set. Rob smiled and waved at us shyly as if to say "i'm not that interesting and have no idea what you see in me."
I had to snap back into reality because i had to get back to work. I had such a great time at the set and the girls that were there were so sweet and very well behaved. Nothing like those crazy girls on crack that made the headlines the other time I saw him.
Well...unfortunately I had major subway issues getting back (just missing it and having to wait for the next, train traffic and stupid people who dont walk fast) so it took me almost an hr...AN HR to get back to work. I literally sat on the 7 for 30 mintues due to train traffic....like what the heck is that?!
Oh well. It was a great....great day!! The first time I had Rob for dessert and this time Rob was for lunch lol
Second story....
I will be out of NYC for the next 5 days for my Nana's memorial so I won't be working at all next week. That means no NYC updates until the end of next week when Vicki, Kathryn and Rebecca come. But get ready for some great updates from when they are here.
I hope everyone had a great 4th of July!
You know you love me,
XOXO Amanda
(in a gossip girl mood :p)
