H2: Michael's Last Shoot
hi guys,
well what has become my 10th shoot for h2 today was a great one. as you guys may or may not know, today was to be my last day of location experiences. and i couldn't be happier with the cast and crew and the things they have done for us. got to alcovy high at about 3pm. met with tammy, a cool security guard i've chatted with many times throughout the month and then regina showed up. leigh-anne was soon to follow, then brandon arrived. i finally met scout today! she showed us how rob's been beating her up with the bruises she had on her arms, but she's a hell of a trooper. she made me shiver...lol it was very weird. but i would like to thank her from the bottom of my heart for being such a cool chick. definately a great end to a great month. next we saw rob and sheri pull up. we didn't want to bother them with the dog and all so when rob was walking back to his trailer he stopped and signed for us and took some photos with us. lovin his cooper shirt. we told both him and scout about "fan"tom jam at the rabbit h2 fan wrap party we were planning and they both seemed to get a kick out of it. ive got some nice door prizes for the party as well. brandon was able to meet scout again and get his mask signed by the only cast member missing, so well done brandon! we decided to get some food and headed over to rabbit (hwy 142 bar & grill) to discuss party plans with rocky. we ended up hanging out there for awhile and met a majority of the staff. we are gonna light that place up! i'll post more details on the party very soon. i can tell you that capacity is 100 people so i'll need rsvps from those planning to attend asap. the bar has a nice menu of food and serve beer and wine. when we finally left rabbit, regina headed home and me, brandon and leigh-anne headed back to the school. we weren't there 15 minutes and tyler walked out of his trailer and he signed a couple photos for me. like i've said before, i went into this with my own selfish intentions for my own personal experiences and the friends i have made along the way are now priceless to me. this whole experience has become so much more to me, the fanbase that is now attached to this blog is amazing and i can't thank regina, brandon, leigh-anne, cast and crew for making it all happen. i've been happy to report to you guys this past month and hope to meet you guys at the party. i'll update soon.
one last thing...
to rob, i want to thank you so much for this whole experience. you made me feel like a kid again this last month. i've been a huge fan for years and for you to bring something like this to my backyard, i am truly grateful.
to tyler, i want to thank you for being such a great guy to all of us. you have been one of the friendliest guys to meet. still hope to destroy you on call of duty one of these days.
to scout, you are an angel and an extremely talented actress. i'm sorry i spazzed on you earlier. pretty awkward and moving on...lol
wayne and bart, you are the men! such talented artists and pure geniuses of gore. wayne i will make it to halloweentown someday.

Repo: The Genetic Opera
I FINALLY had the opportunity to see this movie. I personally LOVED IT! Then again, I have different standards for movies. If the costumes and sets provide good eye-candy, it is a good movie for me.
The singing went from fantastic to OK. I loved Sarah Brightman as Blind Mag...
It put me in a "Rocky Horror" mind frame but with a bigger budget. There was more blood than I anticipated. The gore factor was pretty high but had a fake look to it. My favorite (surprise) was the costumes, especially the Repo Man costume. I LOVE the helmet!
I hope there is a GOOD one at Dragon Con this year!
And just for good measure, a favorite:

Thrashers vs. Buffalo
Last Wednesday, on April 1st, a group of us headed down to Philips area for the Thrashers vs. Buffalo game. It was Kyle, Deneen, K, deTag, Steve, Mike, Melissa, Josh, Kristen, Darrell and me. It was a fantastic game and an amazing win! The winning goal came in the last 30 seconds of OT. The fact that we had some truly obnoxious Buffalo fans (definitely not Mike or Melissa) around us just made the win that much sweeter!
Here is part of the celebrating crew...
H2: The End
Friday, I dropped by on my last filming of H2. When I arrived, Michael was already there and we were waiting on Leigh-Anne and Brandon. Thanks to Michael, I was able to get my DVD autographed and get a picture with Scout. She was the sweetest thing. She told us that they had been shooting until 7am Friday morning. She also told us at the shoot she was cold and the rain didn't help. She showed us her bruised up arms. She's definitely a trooper. Leigh-Anne arrived right before Rob & Sheri Zombie. Sheri had her pug with her. After Rob walked her to her trailer, he came back to his and he was kind enough to sign my DVD and take a picture with me. Michael and Leigh-Anne also took pictures with him and he signed several things for Michael. Finally, Brandon arrived (you know I'm kidding) and not 15 minutes later, he had Scout's autograph on his mask. At this point, the crew was starting to clear spectators so we decided to head to the Hwy 142 Bar & Grill for dinner. We had a good meal, talked and had a genuinely great evening.
The filming is pretty much over and the Black Bunny Blog will be resuming it's nice boring, geeky and fun entries. You are welcome to hang around as long as you like. I just wanted you to know that most of the H2 posts are done. The only one I see ahead is the Fan-tom Jam Party Post and I will post some more H2 when the movie comes out in August.
I must tell everyone thank you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. All of those who read, who posted, who emailed and who showed up. I have met some fantastic people that I will not soon forget.
I will leave this with a couple of slide shows.
First, my Trifecta:
A group of people that I have grown close to and to who part of H2 Posts and Pictures are credited to, The H2 Bunny Crew:
Lastly, a retrospective. Some of my favorite pictures, from beginning to end.
Good bye Mr. Zombie, Mr. Mane and Ms. Taylor-Compton. It was a blast!!
"Fan"tom Jam: The Fan Celebration
Michael has been working hard to plan a fan wrap party for H2. Here is the info:
hey guys,
well, "fan"tom jam wrap party has been officially set for 4/17. maximum capacity for the bar is 100 so space is limited. there will be entertainment and h2 prizes. beer and wine will be available for a nominal fee as well as food. the location will be the hwy 142 bar & grill in newborn and will be closed to the public for this private party. this is the site of the exterior rabbit in red and michael killed two people on this set so its a hell of a place to be for a halloween fan. i will need rsvp's from those planning to attend. be aware, space will fill up quickly so lock in your spot now. there is no cover and it should be a blast! come hang with the black bunny crew and many, many other zombie/halloween fans alike.
party starts at 7pm.
The address is:
Hwy. 142 Bar & Grill
53A Pennington Rd.

H2: The Billboard
Joey, one of the blog readers,(*** CORRECTION: Amanda was kind enough to send me those pictures! ***) sent me the coolest pictures this morning. I had to email back and see where it had been taken. Turns out it was used last Friday night with a shot on Airport Rd. in Oxford. On a whim, and a REALLY out-of-the-way back road long-cut (as opposed to short-cut), I swung by there on the way home from work today and low-and-behold the billboard was still there!
