After we had left Brian's at around 11:30, Chris and I headed up to Denton so that we could edit together Episode 5. But first we had to stop off at Chris' apartment on the way so that we could pick up Binky to do the credits and title screens. From the apartment we went to the Kroger which is right up the street from where Chris lives so that he could get some Dr.Pepper.
We noticed a bulletin board on a wall in the front entrance. Granted all grocery stores have them, but the thought finally came to actually put one of our show flyers on it. Chris took notice of a girl and some guy she was with, both of whom appeared to be our age, perfect people to try to promote the show to.
We walked past them as they were getting into the car. It just so happened that the girl, who was driving, had her window rolled down. Chris asked, "Do you get Marcus Cable?" She didn't hear him at first so he repeated it. She said she did get Marcus Cable and Chris explained about our show. She seemed interested(for us interested means that she didn't drive off right away) so I ran to the truck to get her a flyer.
When she looked at the flyer, she said, "Oh are you those guys...," cool maybe she had seen the show, "...that are doing that Pool Watch thing?" It's kind of a strange thing, but for a brief moment Chris and I actually shared the same thought. How the hell did she know about Pool Watch? At this stage, Pool Watch is something that Brian has only been talking about and has never fully scripted. We've been kind of blowing it off mainly because we're more concerned with getting Episode 6 out of the way and also because right now there is nothing on paper.
I asked her if she knew Brian, an obvious question and she said that she did. Chris asked her what her name was to see if she might have been one of the many girls that Brian has been telling us that he's been talking to who are interested in being on the show, but about whom Chris and I are having doubts. She said her name was Tara. It didn't ring any bells.
Finally she explained that she was Shannon's sister. The name Shannon rang a bell as she is one of the girls Brian keeps telling me wants to be in the show. If Shannon is as cute as this Tara girl is then we're definitely going to have to get the both of them on the show.
It was kind of a cool coincidence and Chris said that the incident was even more frustrating, because although Brian has only been on the first four episodes a total of five minutes, he's getting a lot more attention than we are. Not only that but we had hoped that we could at least interest someone in the show that was in no way connected to us. Everybody that we know who has seen the show has either been people we know from work or friends of friends.
