ASIGN Observatory on TV 11 October Chanel 7 at 7pm
OK boys and girls,
it's time to let you in on the big news! Yes, for the last few weeks ASIGN Observatory II has been gearing up to get ready for the TV crew from Australia's very own Better Homes and Gardens!
Miracle after miracle has been pouring in from friends, family, work mates and even total strangers from the internet giving their time, some generous donations and unfailing support. Not only that, but the timing of all of these things has been absolutley perfect as if by divine design - right down to the TV being donated the day after the electricity was all connected.
The crew arrived this afternoon and straight away, my nerves about meeting celebrities were put at ease as these very professional individuals were so down to earth. Russell and the film and sound guys were brilliant to work with and my eyes were opened at some of their film tricks and equipment. More on that when you see the show.
Johanna Griggs was as friendly, happy and graceful as you could imagine. I felt very at-ease with her questions in the on-camera interviews. The make-up lady was as much a part of the team, engaging as the rest while she powdered my shiny nose under the lights.
My darling wife worked like a trooper, baking biscuits for the team. They absolutely loved them.
Being a man left to his own devices without the guidance of his good wife, I goofed big as is my manly custom and right! There was a platter of bread on the bench which I took outside with the cakes. How was I supposed to know that there was a plate of cheese and salami in the fridge to go with it? You know... being a man and all.....
Anyways, watch out for the show on the 11th of October at 7pm on channel Seven. I'll post up links once they have it on their website after the show.
Thanks again to all who have made this possible. You know who you are.
Cheers and blessings!!!
Baz.

You will have to put in some parking meters in the street after all the publicity diverts Joe Public and his family from Questacon to ASIGN II.....
JG is a bit of a hottie, I'm not jealous.......much.

Sometimes I feel like I'm a little too serious in front of a camera, but hopefully Johanna's experience in handling the guests put me at ease.

She's the kind of bird you feel like you could just sit and have a coffee with and be instant friends.
