On Monday, November 3, I'll begin blogging about my experience as an extra in the movie, for a couple of scenes being filmed about a mile from where I live.
I don't have a lot of information about the scenes, other than that they take place during a bar mitzvah and a funeral service at a Jewish synagogue. I've already been to a wardrobe fitting and hair consultation (I had to grow my hair out, as I normally shave my head), and had to shave the goatee I've sported for a number of years. I'll be on set with a number of people I know and, as I understand, there will be something like 250 extras on set.
I know there will be more exciting and important things happening the first part of that week, but I thought this would be a fun thing to experience, write about, and since this is my first foray into blogging, learn how social networking tools can be used. I'll be using a mix of Blogger, Flickr, and Twitter, along with my Blackberry, to do live updates for those who may be interested in following along.
Coen Brothers fans, stay tuned!
