When my kids ask me someday what do i remember most about my highschool years, 2 things will immediatley come to mind. First will be the making of my movie Choopy, The Forlorn Bastard. The other is the arrival of The Stephen Colbert Museum & Giftshop here in Colbert County, specifically in Tuscumbia.
I still remember to this day anxiously awaiting the school bell to ring, so i could hurry on over to the museum and join the throng of anxious spectators. It was supposed to begin at 2:30 so i was naturally worried that i would miss part of it, thankfully the parade and the grand opening of the museum didn't happen till after i got there. After the parade, tad cut the ribbon and people literally swarmed the museum, rushing through the front door. what we didn't know was that they werent ready for us to actually go in yet haha, so we quickly had to be ejected from the museum (not before i grabbed up 3 entrance passes to the museum). Then everyone was lined up and tad greeted each person entering by handing them a pass as we went through the front door. Me and my friends michael and dylan were the first three in the door. Unfortunately they didn't use footage of us in the actual broadcast. We circled the museum looking at paintings, drawings, stephen colbert's epic novel (upon inspection i discovered that behind the cover lied a cd review guide), among mannnny other amazing artifacts from stephen's life. My friend Russell ended up having a line in the show when they filmed him looking at a picture of Stephen and President Bush. Then we were presented with a pre-taped message from Stephen, and then we were asked to leave so they could film some extra bits of an old woman taking a tour of the museum. Overall I think we were in the museum for a least an hour or more. There are several other stories from that day i can tell, and i'll probably get around to it eventually, but for now just enjoy the video.
oh and i can be spotted briefly at 3.58, and 4.24 :)
and Stephen, pleasssssse come back at some point, Colbert County needs you.
