Is Anyone Reading This?

Hi Guys! So I know the semester is long gone, but something happened to me today, and I just had to blog about it! So as you all may know, in the summers I work for a minor league baseball team as the mascot. Well today I was in the press box, and the Production manager walked up to me and asked what I was doing before the game on friday, and I told him nothing (because, I have no life). He told me they were filming a commercial and wanted me to be in it. I figured he meant as the mascot, but it turns out I will be playing a zombie! He was thrilled when I found out I owned my own zombie costume and make-up. I didn't mention the fact that I've spent the last semester studying zombies.

It made me think about how much I really know about zombies after this course. I my manager know what I mean if I ask him at the commercial shoot whether I'm playing a "romero-style" or "post-millenial" zombie. Likewise, I doubt there will be a greater message beyond "buy baseball tickets." Still, if they post the commercial online I'll be sure to post it. If any of you are as nerdy as I am and are still on this blog post semester I'd love to get your take on it!

  1. I LOVE THIS! Congratulations on the gig, Austin. That is just an awesome coincidence! Whenever someone brings up zombies now, I get just a teensie bit excited on the inside because I feel like I have so much knowledge on the subject now. You'll make a great zombie!
