Best. Photo. Ever. In the world.

I just wanted to share with you the BEST PHOTO EVER.

The most interesting place ever!

Alright, quick updates:

I found an apartment! I'm actually moving in tomorrow. Hooray door with a lock and my own bathroom!

I've been searching for work around L.A. and found a few cool projects to get my feet wet. I also turned www.jackpattillo.com into something more than just a photo of me and Uday. Hooray online resumes!

Things have been going really well. Stuff is falling in to place and I'm having a really great time here. A good friend of mine wrote me an email and asked how L.A. was going, I wrote this back to her tonight:

Let me describe the day I had to you:

I woke up late, rolled off the fold out couch I'm sleeping on right now and headed to Best Buy to pick up tapes, and then Target to get some sheets for my new bed I'm getting (I'm moving in to an apartment tomorrow, woot).

I then came back to the place I'm crashing, relaxed for about an hour and then went to a gym where I did P.A. work for a webisode of a show shot by some guys who work on The Office. (Including the newly Emmy-nominated sound guys. Wild.)

We worked on that for a few hours, then I grabbed my camera and drove down to Beverly Hills to go shoot an art show opening that was curated by Danny Franzese, aka, Lindsey Lohan's friend from Mean Girls. I got free alcohol and did interviews with Andy Milanakis, Martin Starr (awesome) and Eric Jungmann, the "Friend" from Not Another Teen Movie. The one who chases after the girl and ultimately gets his shit kicked out at the airport.

And there were people dressed in costumes.

Oh! And I saw old Pete from Pete & Pete, the old Nickelodeon show. What??

I then swung by Carl's Jr. on the way home and grabbed a western burger, and now I'm returning emails.

So yeah...that's how L.A. is going for me. :)

I'm having fun.

How ya been?

I haven't updated here enough. I need to start posting more ramblings as it is a nice way to journal my time. I think that was the whole point of this crap anyway, right?

So, my first project with I Am 8-Bit went well. I shot the DVD launch party for Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li, then cut it and Fox Home Video approved it. Hooray!

I've been bouncing around as far as sleeping goes. While we were in production on Knifepoint, the home invasion film I PA'd on, I was crashing on a couch in the cast room. Then after we wrapped I actually slept on one of the beds we used during filming. I threw down the mattress on the floor and for the first time in L.A., slept on a bed. Technically.

From there, we wrapped the loft we were shooting in and moved all the crap into the "production" loft. This was nice because I actually got to set up my big computer and got to do some legit editing again. Also, I started crashing on the fold-out couch we have in the office. Not too shabby.

Things have been really nice out here, I actually went for a bike ride with some friends to a burger joint, then came back and hit the pool. Believe it or not, I am actually a shade or two darker than when I left Austin. The weather out here is insane. Highs in the mid to upper 80s, and mid 60s for the low. On Twitter I asked out loud how the weather in Austin was. This was my friend Eric's response:

eric_duncanATX: @jack_p weather is 100% chance of affordable living with only occasional L.A. douchebags.

I miss you guys sometimes. First round of Peter Pan is on me.
