Hello, rock stars!

Thank you, everyone, for voting! The polls are now closed and we have our winners. This Sunday, February 17, we will be singing Love Shack by The B-52’s in the Parc del Laberint d’Horta (Labyrinth Park)!!

Love Shack won convincingly, but The Labyrinth Park just managed to eek out the victory. A crack crew actually went up to the park yesterday to scope out the location and we should have an interesting route to follow for the video (if we can squeek past all the tourists). The park has free admittance on Sundays (score!) but there is no food allowed inside. There is, however, a small picnic area just outside the park, complete with little sandwich shack, so this is how the day’s gonna go down:

I’ll be there at 11:30am. Please join me. We’ll start rehearsing at 12:00 (noon) sharp! Then we can stop for lunch at about 1pm and then head back for the final rehearsals and shooting sometime after 2pm. The park closes its gates at 5pm, but it’ll actually start getting dark at that time so I’d like to have the whole thing in the can by 4. Optimistic much? We’ll see.

In the meantime, you might as well start to familiarize yourself with the song. Here are the song and the lyrics. But don’t worry about memorizing the whole thing. We’ll each only have a very small portion in the final video and I don’t want anyone to get sick of the song before Sunday.

Let me know if you’d like to feature in a close-up (or if you really wouldn’t!) and I’ll start working on the planning. Maybe We can meet for a coffee sometime this week and brainstorm.

Also, please let me know if you’ve got an awesome camera we can use! Or if you’d like to volunteer to be the camera operator! Kind of important details.

I’m very happy that so many people are excited about this little experiment of mine. I really hope it turns out well and, more importantly, that we have fun doing it! The truth is, I have no idea what’s going to happen 🙂
