I have to be in Florida for work in January .
I am there from the 12th to the 20th.
I think I'll make enough money off that gig to take the girlfriend to Jamaica again, probably for her birthday in February.
(SHHHH, don't tell her its a surprise.)
Seven , I visited Louisiana in February 2007 for Mardi Gras.
I was there for 8 days with 3 friends & it wasn't long enough... good seafood, & the oyster bars that you have all over the place were great, for both the food, & the people who worked there :)

Where did you stay? I'm assuming you stayed in New Orleans. :-)
That's one thing I'll say for Louisiana. We suck in damn near everything but culinary arts. I just finished making beignets too btw.

I stayed in the Sheraton on Canal Street I believe it was.
It was like 3 blocks up to Bourbon Street.

Ok, you want that part? Still lots of good guy roles to go around
These are the roles I have filled thus far, with the story notes edited away so they'll still suprise you
venom- cheesey villian- wears expensive sunglasses and laughs theatrically
Darkwizard- overeager rookie- jumps into things he maybe shouldn't
Derlowe- naive rookie - trusts people be maybe shouldn't
Sol- main villian- Silk business suit-exploit the name
avie- tech guy- awkward till business time-sorry dude but the tech guy has to be awkward-please tell seven you don't take offence to this
seven- female heroic badass- bond villeniss crossed with rene russo from the thomas crowne affair- there will be leather
me- main anti hero- revolvers that spin
If anyone dosen't like what I've chosen just let me know, and while I do have a basic storyline sketched out I'm going to see if anyone else comes in. Keep in mind that the nature of the story does not call for well rounded adults who talk their way through conflicts.

Man, I wanted to be the tech guy!!!
Running off a list of general stereotypes in my head, can I be the Blunt Instrument character?
You know, the guy that doesn't use all the flashy kung fu stuff, and instead will resport to just decking the enemy with a headbutt, a haymaker, or the tried and trusted technique of smacking them around the head with the nearest thing that isn't nailed down?
Naturally, it's the character that uses more profanity than the rest of the cast combined, due to a lack of subtlty, as well as a sense of gallows humour.

Seven insisted I include someone getting hit with a chair so that would perfectly. that being said i am open to input but in the end it's still me writing this. This is a satire, everyone, including me will be taking shots in that fashion. So anything within reason you have to say i'm listening. But once the story starts going some things will be locked down for contenuity.

An optional feature is a small but "meaningful" monologue in the middle of the movie where I say something along the lines of "I know that we're doing bad stuff, but in the end we're the good guys... right?". Also, in the middle of a shootout or something, when we're both aiming our guns to each other, one of the good guys will say something cheesy like "you can choose your role... or you can let your role choose you. REMEMBER THAT!!1!!". Then, in the end of the movie after I've shot the villain from behind, the good guys will stare at me befuddledly and I'll say something like "I guess I chose my role now".
After that I can either collapse and die because I had been shot earlier or I can survive and join the good guys in celebration even though it's likely that I've killed about 20 of them or so in the past.

Empando-troubled henchman-Uniform dosen't fit as well as the others-the face of a man who's spent his live on the very verge of making decisions.
How the climax fills itself out will decide if you're better served living.
Now this story is going to be told peice by peice, so if I don't use someones character in one bit rest assured I'm cooking something for them.

Nah, I just think that every spy group needs to have their blunt instrument, the guy who works as a last resort when all hell breaks loose, because that's his environment. Blame it on reading Global Frequency; they had a couple of blunt instrument characters - one a brawler, another not unlike Vlad in Hack/Slash - which is a lot more fun.
The blunt instrument character is just more fun: Jason Bourne uses magazines and biros like Bond uses Q Division, Jack Bauer can get remarkably unsubtle - I'm just taking those aspects, and filtering them through Jack Carter's nihilism. It's sort of like the loose cannon cop: he doesn't follow the book, but when the situation calls for it, he's the guy that'll be most useful.
Besides, the average hooligan is all front and little more, reliant on numbers, and don't have the brains to realise that you have backup or whatever. My guy is the opposite - he can take care of himself, and knows what he's doing and what's going on.
And I want Ron Perlman to play him!!!

YAY!! DOUBLE POST!!!
I want in the story. As a guy who spends all his time playing drums and ignoring the other characters. I'm constantly asked to help, and refuse, until someone tricks the enemy's forces into attacking my recording area, after which I defeat them by beating them mercilessly with drumsticks with blinding and uncharacteristic speed and severity. They all run away, and I continue to ignore the situation without finishing off the main villain or pursuing his forces out of sheer laziness and contempt for the whole situation.
Oh, and I need to threaten to stick a drumstick in someone's butt, have them dare me to, and then have them look down and realize I've already stuck a drumstick in their butt so quickly they didn't even notice.

That's what I'm thinking. Your character is if someone of that type grew some brains and tecniuqe. Think sphinx (guy who didn't talk) in gone in 60 seconds. Only you do talk, and swear.
And I want Ron Perlman to play him!!!
If this is turned into a movie I will try my damnedest to give everyone who signs over the right to transfere the character basis so I don't have to write some new guy with a scar or something at least a cameo.

I spent an hour and a half trying to get my car unstuck in the parking lot.
I was almost done, almost was able to just get my car in my parking spot when a couple of guys with a 4 wheeler and a pick up truck with plows on em showed up and wanted my van out of the driveway.
I also apparently parked in a snow bank today at the mountain. I say that because I didn't park in a snowbank in the morning :/
I didn't even have a chance to reap the nice fresh snow either, since it took me an hour to get to the mountain (there's a nasty spot on the road to the mountain where one of the town/mountain shuttles went into a guard rail)
Then I got the ONLY kid in the 7-12yr old group (he was totally in the wrong level, but apparently he's been in it since last season..so I let him stay). and in the afternoon I took out the ONLY kid period. a 6 year old who wasn't too bad and his mom gave me a $10 tip (and she was hot)

California isn't so famous for the smog anymore... yes, we have it-- but mostly in San Diego and Los Angeles.
Bay Area will have several Spare the Air days, but otherwise... it's not as bad.
Air closer up north is very fresh.
And, you'll get use to earthquakes.
We had a very strong one in San Jose a few weeks ago. You just react quickly-- if you're close to a door way, you spread-eagle. If you're closer to a desk... duck and cover and hold on to the leg.
Outside-- depends.
In car-- stop where ever it's safe.
By beach-- move far away from the water.
By the mountains or hilly range-- be alert for falling rocks or slides. (You can't do much if it's coming to you, but at least you will prepare for it.)
