A Jedi and The Bachelor
17 August 2007
First, I get to work and find out that I have an email from Skye Walker. First assumption was that it was normal spam, but upon further review, it's an actual person named Skye Walker. Skye sent me an email to update Prana's ads with us, and I was really tempted to see if Skye was named before or after Lucas' series debuted in the 70s, but I just couldn't pull myself to do it.
Then later on in the day, I pick up a phone call, and it's from one of the executive producers of The Bachelor. My initial reaction was that I'm married, and if this call came about 3 months ago, we'd be talking, but ... my ego was completely deflated when I found out they weren't looking for me. In fact, they were looking to promote an "extreme rock climber" for the next installment of their show.
After I told them the only person I know of that would be good, Chris Sharma (who has a badass video coming out), I passed them along to someone who actually knows names of rock climbers in the industry. I'll be on the lookout to see who the next bachelor is, and if it was someone we recommended, I can say I had a part in helping out ABC.
