I too will be attending NEST this yr and I'm overly excited, especially since this will be my FIRST time . I'm going to pretty much try to throw myself into every workshop possible and just truly absorb the atmosphere. Anyone else? lol
Wonderful So does anyone WANT to be kidnapped? I know I do 🙂 at least just to say I've done it lol.
I was kidnapped during my first NESTing-it was a fun and very exciting experience. I'm not repeating it this year, but I am going to enjoy hearing about others' escapades!
The workshops are great ways to get to know people quickly and form friendships.
TickVix - great that you're coming this year. I look forward to meeting you.Wonderful I'll be looking forward to seeing you all 🙂. I hope the weather is really nice that weekend. That will just make things even better. So does anyone WANT to be kidnapped? I know I do 🙂 at least just to say I've done it lol.
Where do I sign up for the beer sharing portion of the event? 😀
TickVix - great that you're coming this year. I look forward to meeting you.
In order to be "kidnapped," you have to sign up - have you done so?
So what was the kidnap scenario for you The Director? Just curious.
I was kidnapped by angry actresses that I'd never cast in any of my plays or movies. Quite a lot of fun.
That was a great one!! Several big guys in ski masks grabbed The Director in the middle of Saturday afternoon right where everyone was hanging out in the hotel. We put a pillow case over his head and lead him through the outdoor courtyard in the hotel. We looked like some kind of terrorist death squad leading him to his demise. There was a chambermaid collecting linens outside one of the rooms. God only know what she thought was going on.
So, we had one of the hotel rooms all set up and waiting for him – straps already on the bed, etc. We get to the door of the hotel room (mind you this is more of a motel, where the doors to the rooms are all outdoors), and no one has the key!?! So, here we are - 4 guys in ski masks holding this other guy with a pillow case over his head and we can’t get in the room. I can’t recall whether we eventually found someone who had the key or whether we had to get the chambermaid to let us in.
Anyway, we finally get in the room, and BellaRisa led the scene. She had several female assistants. The “scene” was that this was a group of scorned “ordinary” women who were upset because The Director would never cast them in his movie; the only women he ever cast were blond “Barbie” bombshells. Bella was really getting into it and was beginning to destroy The Director when I departed…
p.s. – This was a particularly good scene, and one reason why is because the scene was one that The Director requested, it was a unique and doable idea, and he provided lots of details for the scene. If you signed up for a kidnapping, keep this in mind.

Signed up too but really looking to be a 'ler. At what point do we decipher scenarios/roles/etc for kidnapping?

This right here? One of THE funniest things that has ever happened. We had a key, in fact we had two, but neither would work for some reason. My chest still hurts from running top-speed across the hotel quad to get a key that worked, and the kidnappers all standing around making small talk with the Director *with the bag still over his head* was just classic
