At last, our dear teammate Austin is back!!!
I haven't been able to post in a while because I've been in a tornado of travel and work lately. Last weekend I had to trek out to LA for meetings, and I was there all the way through Wednesday. Worked all day Thursday back here in Wilmington, and slept till 4pm on Friday. It's been a helluva week, folks.
I flew out to LA and stayed with my gorgeous and generous friend, Elisabeth Harnois. She has always been so supportive of the SoGo movement, so it was fun catching up about all the progress we've been making on Pedestrian.
Hilarie - "We cast Austin Nichols."
Elisabeth - "I don't think I've met him."
Hilarie - "Oh, you'll love him. Really humble, talented man."
Elisabeth - "Yeah, he was great in 'John From Cincinnati'."
Hilarie - "Lets see what he's doing tomorrow."
Austin rode 45 minutes on a scooter, all the way across the sprawling metropolis of Los Angeles to eat eggs and split a crazy big 47 grain (exaggeration) pancake with Lis and me. He knew more than a couple people in the restaurant. He's been taking meetings out west with agents and managers, doing really solid work to get this project rolling. He's going to make this movie great.
But he's not a slick LA man. This is a southern creature we are talking about. He belongs in our sleepy little town, rocking on front porches and sipping on sweet tea.
So after all the mayhem of freeways and too many coffee meetings in one day and drinks that are too expensive, it was so good to return to Wilmington and have our leading man back out here.
He raced right up to the ocean's edge, to get as far East as possible.
We spent some time shooting fun stuff this weekend. Here's just a taste of what is to come.
Help me in saying, "Welcome Home Cowboy."
Now let's get down to work.
xoxo

ps - I didn't know how to refer to myself in the credits of this little vid. Welcoming Committee? Cheerleader? Creep who should have unrolled her jeans? So I did the ever so safe "...".
I'll let you guys label me. I trust you. Ha.


LOOKING FOR SOMETHING?

Hilarie Burton as Charlie Chaplin
Austin Nichols would make a great Greta Garbo.
Picture him in high heels and a black dress.
I'd pay to see that!
I recently came accross your blog and have been reading along. I thought I would leave my first comment. I dont know what to say except that I have enjoyed reading. Nice blog. I will keep visiting this blog very often.

Hello Hilarie..
I wanted to start by saying that I think you're super down, and although I've seen mostly your "Peyton" character what I've seen of Hilarie looks to be really cool. As a huge fan I wanted to let you know that I am VERY disappointed that you will not be there for more seasons, I really hope that can change b/c as a die hard OTH fan and and even more Peyton fan, it really sucks that you will not stay on. Although, I know its just a "show", but for that hour it allows us to get out of reality and go into the OTH world, atleast I do. You guys make it so easy to get in there, and you being my fav, I love when all good things happen to you! So truly hearing that you won't be there, kills me. But as a true Hilarie fan, not just Peyton, I wish you the BEST in ALL you do and where ever that may be I'll follow you there too, but I can't lie, I REALLY hope you stay!! Much Love to you!!!
This video is amazing! =))
Hilarie your so funny, and cute. I'm sad i missed you during my trip to Wilmington but i know you were busy filming. You did say hey to me though :) Just to let you know you made my life.
Anyway i label you as Mona Mills, i'd love to see you actually on screen with Austin again :DD
- Love Melissa <3
*Hope you got my letter from Natalie.
Hilarie Burton as MONA MILLS
It is always such a pleasure to read your post, Hilarie! Thank you for taking the time to do it,to share what is going on so generously,really... This video made me laugh so much, and it made me smile to see you two having so much fun, you made me think of the funny stuff we get to do with our friends in high school time,just kidding around... your great energy and joy are so contagious!Change the colours for black/white and I'll label you Charlie Chaplin Girl, but the first thing that came to my mind is Southern Cowgirl Burton!
This post was just awesome, thaks for making me smile, from another cowgirl in quebec!
Thought the video was hilarious..I'm pretty sure my great grandpa wore a hat like that in the 1950's!! Welcome back Austin and good luck with filming! Kansas City loves you guys!!
That video was awesome! Also the hat was cute.
Pam
OMG! I loved the video, mainly the music. I'm glad Austin is back! I wish you good luck with the filming.
If I could I would name you the director of the video, because Austin's face has an actor expression, or maybe a cameraman's everytime you tell him to record.
Hilarie! you are one of the most amazing people in the world. Of course i only know this from watching you on OTH, but i admire your goals. I'm excited that your going after your dreams and doing something great!
I hope everything works out for you!
hey and if you ever want someone to join your team, i'm always here =]
This is a great video! I have just recently been introduced to SGP and I want to say that im very excited about where this could go and im so glad your doing it in Wilmington. Wilmington is my home too and I love everything about this place. It has so much to offer yet so many people over look the great things here. Hilarie, I love your work in One Tree Hill. Im a huge fan of the show and you bring such a great talent to it along with so many of the other cast members. I cant imagine how great this company will do with you being a part of it! Good luck with everything and thanks for sharing your love of Wilmington with the world!!

Emma, UK.
Hilarie Burton as...the uber cool producer.
Or, the keeper of cool hats.
[b]Hilarie Burton as...Charlie Chaplin[/b]
No matter what, HB, you always make me laugh...and bring a smile to my face.
<3 you..
BTW: 6.17 was bar far the most amazing episode for Peyton and Hilarie, I am in awe of the raw talent you possess, thank you for sharing it with us.
loved the update! Austin you are such a stud!! lol
... almost forgot ... Hilarie as Jay I'd say ... wow' that even rhymes, guess I'm still infectet from those limericks :)
so, off to watch that vid again ... :)
That was funny :D
and I agree with Hilarie as Hat Lady lol, xx
LOL
Hilarie, you never fail to lift my spirits. That was a very cute vlog. You really are a charismatic person.
And welcome home, Cowboy.
I love this video! :) Wilmington is gorgeous! The closest I’ve been to Wilmington is Hilton Head, SC and it actually looks very similar, but I can’t wait to visit someday (or live there.. who knows). And I LOVE sweet tea… probably more than is healthy.
And I say Hilarie as... the “Welcome Wagon”. From what I've seen and heard, you are super friendly, welcoming, and can make any one feel comfortable in a new place. I think that’s a great thing. <3
I think “Mad Hatter” sounds cool, but I found out in school that the phrase originated from the mercury poisoning caused by how the hats were made. It caused neurological damage (distorted vision and speech) and made a person seem “mad”. And you, Hilarie, are not “mad”… just awesome! :)
Hilarie Burton as someone straight outta' Sears catalog .
(because of the poses and the random walk down a bridge to a beach)
very Sears. hahaha
I love the ten second gloom Austin does with the camera. Just stares into an abyss or something.
hahahahaa
This is by far my favorite blog.
<3
I would have put you as, Hilarie Burton as hilarious and awesome.
Hilarie you are awesome...this video cracks me up!!! I was able to meet you this week and that was the best part of my spring break trip to wilmington!!! Thanks for being so sweet and hilarious!!!
Hilarie Burton as Awesome!!!
Oh wow, I finally got to see the vid :) Guess it works best to see during European morning time ... well, I love the music ... love the gaiety and fun in it .. and, especially love that hat ;) ... so, I'm off to watch it again :)
Ok first off, the vid was BEYOND CUTE!
And I label you as the sexy beast with the rolled up jeans who so wants to make out with Austin
HAHA, this video put a smile on my face.
Welcome back Austin!!!
Brigette
Hilarie! So nice to hear from you again..lol.
Your blogs are always fun!=)
Welcome back to Mr. Nichols. We missed you so. =)
Loved the video. You guys are quite the pair..haha. Its amazing how saying so little and having some quirky music can say so much. Hil I seriously thought that you were going to break out into a dance number right there on the dock..haha. You are one crazy cow girl! =)
Hilarie Burton as...brilliant!
Can't wait to hear more updates from the SOGO front.
Much Love,
Kait(KO)

I am definitely agreeing with the Hilarie as Mona Mills thing :)
You guys are so awesome! Love it!
And for the record, I think Elisabeth Harnois is awesome.
OTH needs Shelly back! ;)
Hilarie Burton as....Mona Mills? Perhaps? Maybe? Who knows?
Or how about just a girl in a cool hat frolicking at very nice beach house :)
You writing, as always, is wonderful and i love the retro style of the video - it made me smile! Which is probably not a pretty sight, since I am just back from the dentist and I feel like the whole lower half of my face is numb :P.
Nevertheless, thanks for the update, hope everything is going wonderfully with SGP/OTH/life in general :D
Hilarie as the "Hat Lady!". Hahaha sorry you just wear alot great hats.

Hilarie Burton as... "The Mad Hatter" :)

you look cool hil, with the Indiana Jones look and all:)
Hil, thanks for update us on what's going on with your life. I'm glad that you had such a great time in LA. It must feel good to be back in back East away from all the "crazy" stuff happening there.
I love the video. It reminded me about the movies that Charlie Chaplin did. I love the music. Nowadays, it is rare to listen to this type of music.
Cool hat :)
Welcome Austin :)
Hilarie's new name is the famous "La Goulue", immortalised by Toulouse-Lautrec.
Love u all :)
