Dilema: 101 List Item- Be an extra in a film

On Tuesday night I was an extra in a music video for a number one Scottish band (Disclaimer, they are number one in Denmark apprently only) so does that count? I think it does because I got what I was hoping for out of the experience, seeing what goes on behind the scenes, laughing at the so called famous people and managing to get on screen for a nano second.

It was funny cause they were appealing to the younger demographic and all the actual fans (who tend to be older, dorky and smell) were herded to the back, whilst us vain wallflowers sporting kilts or cleavage were bunted to the front. Much merriment was gained from the camera man taking a shine to the girl next to me who kept trying to duck the camera whilst the girl that was all tits and teeth next to her attempted to elbow her way on screen. When the lead singer jumped into the crowd and approached me with the microphone to enjoy an impromptu sing a long I just burst out laughing as I had no idea what the chorus was. After the 15th repitition I became convinced he was screaming "Flash the Gash" so it is just as well I was safely out of camera range by then.

So even though they looked like a bunch of dads escaping their wifes and children for the evening, the fact that the lead singer got increasingly seshed and the filming became painfull near the end (not just because of the cowboy boots) a fun night was had and I managed it straight. There is some useless tosser who shakes a tamborine and bangs a big drum (both without any conviction or sense of rhythm) who is obviously still only there cause the rest of the band need someone to look down on, I managed to get his autograph for a friend of a friend and then snubbed the rest of the band. The look on their faces was worth it the dirty feeling I got over asking for an autograph.
