5am flight on Thursday. Sun rises over Midway, we zoom to the airport and get on a not so shaky flight, meaning I'm not so neurotic in the sky. We land, get to Boston airport, receive a Dodge Charger as a rental car and zoom downtown for lunch and some b-roll shooting of the city. We meet a Casey Affleck look alike or possibly an unknown twin who has taken over his family's hot dog business. He tells us he has a degree and has been to Australia and has had some unfortunate involvement with the law. He didn't go into detail on that, but I did forget to mention his accent was thick! He thinks I'm a lutheran from NYC, I tell him I was baptized Catholic and I'm from Pennsylvania but I live in Chicago. He says " I hear they have ballin dogs.." We have some wonderful conversation but unfortunately it is cut off and we must leave. Back to the Charger and we zoom through the narrow city and back onto the highway to Cape Cod. We arrive at a small resort type building, light and sound. Cory arrives, book in one hand, hand shake from the other. Insight, intelligence and vibrance made the last interview for the American Library Association Documentary wonderful! It was a pleasure meeting and shooting Cory Doctorow. I know he is going to bring something wonderful to the project. Back to the Charger. We zoom back to the city, get lost on some of the crazy streets in the city, get settled into the hotel, grab a burger and a beer, back to the hotel, sleep for three hours, back to the airport. Shaky flight into Chicago, sweaty palms, but all lands well. It's beautiful and good to be back. The producer and editor are currently finishing up the editing and it's looking wonderful and should be done shortly! Good to be back in Chicago but Boston, I will be back at some point to hopefully enjoy your city for a bit longer.
