Hello SAG!
Sooo, I officially joined SAG today. I figured, "Why wait, right?!" It's time for me to really do this LA thang.
The cutest thing happened when I went into the SAG office. I walked through the door and asked the information desk for directions to the membership office. There were a few people standing around the desk including the mailman for the building. He asked me if I was about to join the Union, and I told him yes. Then he was like, "Follow me, let me show you something." I started follow him then I was like, "Wait a minute! What you wanna show me?!" LOL. Anyway, I followed him into the mail room where he showed me this kinda mini "wall of fame". There were a few unknown faces as well as a few well-knowns, including Halle Berry. He told me that he'd really appreciate it if I'd contribute something to his wall, ya know...in case I blow up...LOL. I told him I'd drop by after I joined...which I did. I gave him a headshot and a postcard for the film. He was a very nice older man, and was very appreciative...he even asked me to autograph it...lol! I told him I would if he would let me take a picture of him with my picture next to the wall. He agreed and I took the first picture, but he was looking all mean...I was like, "Look, you holding my picture, you supposed to be smilin'!" We took another one (posted below) he gave me a little smirk, and I autographed my headshot for him. I'm so bad at signing stuff...I wrote "To Iris, 'Keep smilin' :)! Thanks for your support, Jillian." It seemed cute at the time, but when I got to the car I thought...dag...I probably sounded like a broke a** Dionne Warwick, lol. Anyway, it was cute signing the autograph for him, he was very nice...he showed me pics of his family and he told me I to stop by anytime. Awwww....what a nice man...and a great little story about my first day joining SAG.
This was the last day of my friend Marie visiting, so I spent the rest of the day being a beach bum with her. Hopefully, I can make it to Chicago this summer to hang out with the crew before they all move away!
Iris and his "Wall of Fame" :)
