Lucky You

We found out what the name of the movie is : Lucky You. It is about a poker player who runs into his long-lost father at the WSOP. We woke up about 5am to start getting ready to make our 7am casting call. When we got there, we looked for Matt Savage. Natalie had made him a gift basket and wanted to give it to him. They sent us to base camp to drop off the basket and get us some breakfast. We ran into Eric Seidel there, and instead of getting to eat, we were told that our clothes were not what poker players wear. LOL! They made us try on other shirts. Mine did not fit, Eric hated his, Natalie just flat out refused to change. After we all managed to get out of wardrobe, we were escorted to hair and makeup. Natalie and I got finished fairly quickly, but the women in the trailer decided that Eric needed a haircut. The production crew said that we needed to wait on Eric, so we did. 10 - 15 minutes later, Eric came out. Still with no breakfast, we were escorted back to the set and sat at a poker table with Karina Jett and Chris Ferguson - pretending to start the WSOP for the movie cameras. After several takes, they moved me to another table, and we simulated the start of the WSOP a few more times. Then they told me that I could go home. I found Natalie and we went over to the Golden Nugget to finally get something to eat. I was disappointed that I did not get to meet Robert Duvall. He is one of my favorite actors. Oh well. It was an experience that not many people get and I am thankful for the opportunity.

Hi Hoyt Corkins, your blog is excellent. As I was surfing around today looking for detailed info on beer gift basket I ended up on your page. As your Lucky You is not exactly related to my search, I am certainly glad I stopped by. If you wouldn't mind, I would like to post your link on my "favorites" page. Should you ever need
