One of my cast mates came up with a brilliant idea to hire a bus and take a trip to Niagara Falls. I have never been before and can now add that to my "Wonderful Places I've Visited" list. (Now, I'm up to two places...) Our bus driver was quite an interesting bundle of energy that I don't think any of us were ready for. It was like taking an RV trip with your corny Uncle Walter, who thinks he's hilarious but he doesn't get that you are laughing at him instead of with him. The first stop on the trip was the Diamond Estates Winery, partially owned by Dan Aykroyd, where I had my first sip of ice wine. Oh my goodness, the sweetest wine I'd ever tasted. Sure do wish I bought myself a bottle, but they were too expensive. But, you can believe I enjoyed the hell out of those free samples. Following the winery visit, we stopped in the small sleepy town of Niagara on the Lake. It was a beautiful town with one main street, with a bunch of shops and restaurants on either side. I did buy a moose covered onesie complete with buttflap. I know what you must be thinking, "How could you not resist?"...and to that I say, "I know right?!?" We finally reached Niagara Falls and spent about a half hour by the water before we stopped in what I can only describe at the Hollywood Blvd. of Niagara. This street, Clifton Hill, had mini golf courses, a giant enclosed ferris wheel, arcades, a casino, various restaurants and countless souvenir shops. I almost avoided falling into the tourist trap, but I played a round of laser tag with some people before heading back to Toronto. Our time in Toronto is slowly coming to a close, less then ten days and we'll be in Florida. As excited as I am to start working on the ship, I really will miss Canada...Anyways, saving the sentiment for a later post. Enjoy the video below!

So, if you've seen the Stuck movie trailer...you already know what this video is all about so you can ignore this next section and jump straight to the video.
I was stuck in my apartment's elevator for about 20 minutes and did not have my coloring book with me for entertainment...I decided to lip sync for my life, not really...but this is an intimate look how my mind works in potentially "dangerous" situations. After my release I started thinking and realized that I am glad I recorded my traumatic ordeal. These are the moments that I will want to look back on and remember after this contract is over. Plus, it's a great ice breaker story... "Hi, I'm Brandon and I made a 3 minute documentary about being stuck in an elevator!" #Irresistible |
