Entry 07 - Running Out Of Time!

October 18, 2007

Entry 07 - Space Games Headquarters, Farmington, UT

Weather has caused some major delays in shooting. Our crew was originally scheduled to fly out on Monday the 22nd, which is now probably the last day of the event. We're hoping to stay until Wednesday, which would allow us to be here on Monday and Tuesday, to capture the end of the Space Games. However ... changing our flights on American Airlines will cost just shy of a whopping two thousand dollars. Yes, it's ridiculous. We could likely find three one-way flights on another airline for less! Way to go, American Airlines!

Nic has been on the phone all day pleading with the airline to have pity on us, given that we're out here shooting an aerospace documentary. Of course he figured this would be futile, but when it proved to be futile Nic was still disappointed. The best response he got was the suggestion of visiting a website where we can apply to American Airlines Corporate Office for a sponsorship. This, option of course, would take two months before we heard a response, which would likely be a negative one. Obviously Nic couldn't get a name of someone to talk to, obviously. Ahh, big corporations.

Regardless, we're stuck in a rut. We're trying to pull strings and call favours on some people we've met here, including the team that has Boeing reps with them ... it's a long shot, but we'll see. Right now, it's not looking good.
