Keith in the Big Apple, for an Apple!
A chain of events starting from my Apple Laptop to brake down beyond repair only 6 days before a major shooting schedule in Prague and the fact that the Apple store in Iceland where out of stock, I had to think fast and get a hold of a new one before the trip was scheduled to start. Plane tickets had already been booked, talent selected and some of my crew members where already in the city.
On a Friday afternoon in September last year I took a haste decision to fly all the way over to New York to buy a laptop, and as crazy as it sounds it actually paid for itself. Buying the laptop locally cost the same as a plane ticket to New York, two nights at the Waldorf = Astoria and the computer all together. It’s just crazy how Apple allows their Independent European Distribution partners to hike up the prices like that.
As it happened I was there over the 9/11 ceremonies that took place, and somehow walked upon the Fire departments memorial on September 9th 2006. It was quite emotional and most of the people where crying all around me. It was sad and it really brought me closer to this tragedy, even though it happened back in 2001.
My thoughts are, although a few years late, with all of those affected by this disaster.
