Though Monday proved to be well worth the drive, the rest of the week wasn't quite as exciting. Having been everything but promised a better role as an Extra (indeed "crazy s$%&" according to casting), Isaiah was very disappointed (we both were) when the week dragged on as we patiently waited to hear back. We continued waiting, though not as patiently, calling and eventually learning that the Director would be shooting on Fat Tuesday.
We already had wildly diverted from our route east and were all week impatiently weighing whether we should wait on Breaking Bad or head to Mardi Gras as planned. There was still a week of New Orleanean partying left to enjoy and we might even be able to make the superbowl too. We had wasted a week waiting, so we would have to drive a long way quickly. Although we also knew we might have to turn around and drive right back to New Mexico and wondering if it was worth all the gas money, it was clear Mardi Gras would be much more exciting than Albuquerque libraries. We would decide on the show if and when we ever heard back from them. Once we got a hold of casting, we left immediately and managed to get out of Albuquerque before a snow storm hit, but didn't quite outrun it.
We reached white out conditions near the border and it was here we shared a vacant lot with a dozen semi-trucks as we all waited out the storm.
