celebrities who love pedal

The other morning, while I was stuck in the usual bumper-to-bumper traffic where the 101 meets the 405, I saw that I had an unlistened-to voicemail. Usually I am terrible about getting to them, they always build up to the point where my phone's inbox is full and I'm inevitably forced to spend an half an hour trying to catch up on messages people left weeks ago. I know, it's a terrible, terrible habit.

But I'm getting distracted, so I flipped open my phone, entered my pin, and listened as my old boss from NBC, Scott, told me to go onto Angela Kinsey's (who plays 'Angela Martin' on the Office) MySpace page, and read her most recent blog post. He then said "that's all I'm gonna say, just go check it out". I could tell from his voice that he was... a strange combination of excited, and a little beside himself.

So, I sat in traffic for another 30 minutes, and finally arrived at work in Venice. I started importing a tape into Final Cut, and took a moment to open up MySpace to see what Scott could be so excited about. I guess I didn't really know what to expect, I think I was waiting to see a video of the old NBC editing gang running around the set of the Office. But I didn't see anything like that, so I started to read.

It was only a few paragraphs down that I experienced some kind of mini-heart-attack, I stumbled up and backwards out of my chair, I felt like I could have jumped right through the roof... or passed right out, it was a toss up between the two.

Angela, from the Office, who just so happens to be one the most adorably-sweet people ever, said, on her blog, "I am loving this vidblog series on Vimeo.com called Project Pedal", then she left a link to Pedal's channel on Vimeo. It's official - I'm going to be on cloud 9 for the rest of year.


After I pulled myself together, I wrote Scott an email, asking if he happened to have anything to do with her knowing. I assumed he was filming some back-stage piece for NBC with Angela, and they got to talking, and somehow it came up. But he wrote back the next morning and said, as much as he would have liked to, he had nothing to do with it. It was just a crazy coincidence.

Which makes my head spin even more for some reason. I keep sitting around imaging Angela Kinsey, on set between shooting for the Office, watching an episode of Pedal and *actually* enjoying it (enough to flippin' blog about it). I wonder if she's ever shown Pam... or Dwight!? It's all too much!
