My son and I have been chosen to be “extras” in a commercial tomorrow! Now this is not just any old commercial. This is an Adidas commercial! And we will get paid to go watch some of the Houston Rockets! The pay is very small, but it’s only a few hours and my son is so excited!! It will be fun!
We were able to do something similar a few years ago. My son, daughter and I all went up to be extras in a gas station commercial. It was at Minute Maid Park and it was the entire day! We had to be there at 5:30 am and left about twelve hours later! But with free parking, free food and snacks and getting paid and the fun we had, it was worth it. I must say that I am glad this shoot starts at noon and only lasts three hours!

Sounds like lots of fun, and especially the sort of thing your son will enjoy.
I hope he gets some autographs!

Montucky, I wonder if it will be local since it’s the Rockets or if it will be national. the one we were in before was actually aired in Latin America! and besides, you would never have been able to spot us in the crowd!
