Got to work with the MythBusters yesterday!!!
« on: July 29, 2009, 01:36:08 PM »
My boss told me that they were on-site doing research for an upcomming myth to be busted. To see if it was possible to jump off a building and into a moving garbage comtainer to escape  being arrested or captured. Well, on my rounds I saw them with the Site Manager so I decided to steer clear. Then I saw our PR girl Rebecca. I called her over and asked "Hey Beccy, you think you can get me over there to meet Adam and Jaime?" Then she asked me if I was boom lift operator certified. My reply "HELL YEAH!"  

Turns out that they were actually FILMING. I grabbed the knuckle boom and positioned it for various camera shots for 4 hours. I got to talk with Adam and Jaime when we were waiting for different trucks and what not. REALLY cool guys!  Adam had to take off early 'cause he hadn't eaten all day and was feeling kinda dizzy. BUT!!! I Did get a pic with Jaime. Too bad there all those other folks in it with us. Well, there's always next time!


I'm the doofy one on the far right.

Ya know... I never really thought about suggesting any airgun myths! I was just so excited to meet them & work with the crew!

They said that they'd be there a couple more times in the future and that they would ask for me. So when they do come back, I'll make a few suggestions!
