Waiting for Admir

I spent the last couple of days playing phone tag with my sound and lighting guy, Admir. Yesterday was 100 percent my fault, since I was in the Mojave Desert playing Jack's lovely assistant as he caught and photographed snakes and lizards. We drove through quite a few mountains to get there, so cell service was spotty at best.

Admir and I finally had a conversation today, and he's supposed to come see me before my flight to Vegas this afternoon. He's doing a job near Pasadena so he should be in the area now. I've been blowing up his phone this week because I want him to get started on the ceiling galaxy we talked about, and this needs to happen before Francisco puts in seats and carpeting. I'm going to be out of town for five days and don't want them to stop working just because I'm not here to pay for something.

Admir now wants to install fiber optics instead of the LEDs we talked about. He said he'd installed LEDs for a similar purpose in Justin Timberlake's SUV. Since his sound system was awesome like mine will be (once I finally decide on one), he cranked the bass every now and then, which would blow out some of his LEDs. Replacing LEDs sucks because you have to remove the plexiglass panel covering them every time you want to do it. With fiber optic lights, there will be a control box that I (or someone who knows what the hell they're doing) can access to make repairs. Also, I'm going to have a ceiling that is more badass than Justin Timberlake's.

He said we could do multicolored lights and I'll be able to control different sections at different times, which is pretty cool. I'm not sure if I want any colors besides white and pink though. I know it's not a big deal if they can be turned to other colors, but I really just want pink and white to keep with the style of the car, which is a giant, slick vagina that can comfortably seat eight people.
