This week I had the pleasure to spend some time with Valentina and Yuri in Naperville. Valentina is from Russia and Yuri is from Estonia. Which for some odd reason reminded me of the movie "Encino Man" with Pauly Shore and Brendan Fraser. Since they tried to pass Brendon's character off as being from Estonia, since I am guessing they thought no one would have any idea what someone from Estonia would act like.
A bonus to this was the fact that I was two blocks from Heaven on Seven, the best Cajun food north of Louisiana! I stopped in after we finished shooting and had some etoufee and a small cup of gumbo. The food was made even better by the free show I had at the bar as I ate. Two young men just out of Army boot camp came in and decided to try their hottest hot sauce on a cracker. Since they have about 200 different bottles of hot sauce on the wall and in their private stash have pure capsaicin which is what makes the peppers hot this is not really a good idea. Well the fun started after they tried a small dollop on a cracker of one of the runners up to the hottest sauce. A lot of water drinking and fanning of the face and looking generally nauseated ensued. One of them was determined to go on to the hottest sauce, and somehow convinced the owner to do it with him. This was even more fun since after eating it, the owner just stood there looking at him while he looked like he was about to die and guzzled water. The owner finally had some mercy on them and brought out a small glass of milk. I am not sure the owner has taste buds as he never drank anything at all.
Back to the original purpose of this post, I wanted to share a video slide show of their session, I hope you enjoy it.
