10-11-07 Day one of G.U.N.

As Salaamu alaykum,
Discussed with Mahdi the missed promotional opportunities. No media day planned. No Q & A for such an "anticipated" film. Can you say, "Deja vue"? Left @ 10:30 for my 12:20pm flight. Arrived in LA 1:20pm. Picked up by Mahdi 2:00pm. Arrived @ Mahdi's job off of Compton Bl. & decided to walk around. Immediately to guys driving by gave me the "side ways, right-on, fist pump". This was maybe due to my beard & kufi. (The kufi has become associated w/ Islam & Muslims but is actually an assumed matter). Broke fast 6:30pm. Ate @ In & Out Burger near UCLA. Place of stay located on Frat Row... noisey! Drunk rich kids everywhere. Alahmdulillah after Thursday the chaos subsides a bit. Met with Muslim bros & did some da'wah. 1st scheduled shooting is tomorrow, Friday, 10-12-07.
Day summary:
Not as much enthusiasm by MSA @ UCLA as hyped. Have yet to meet Khalil (co-producer).
