So, only hours after the Los Angeles Dodgers lost their shot at the World Series, I was so disappointed with American sports that I gave up and crossed the border into Canada.
Okay, so maybe the timing was more coincidental than that—but don’t get after a man whose inner baseball fan always knew he was destined for the entertainment industry, and, thus, Southern California.
Last night, the bus crossed the border into Ontario, with such fanfare that a few CCMers didn’t even wake up. But for the rest of the team, the border crossing proved an exciting milestone. Even more exciting, however, was our stop for fuel in London, Ont., when our Canadian CCMers got to introduce everyone else to the best that Canadian snacks have to offer (Ketchup chips! Chocolate “Smarties”! BILINGUAL CANDY PACKAGING!!).
We actually have video of this momentous occasion, courtesy of Ontario native and CCMer Michael Mistretta:

Our 35-hour bus ride got off to a busy start, with work for projects back on the home front going on even as we pulled out. Closed captioning for an episode of ATFtv was finished on the road and sent back to the editors at CCM Studios while we settled in for the journey that would end under the Copps Coliseum for our live studio broadcast.
We started with a team meeting where we got the chance to meet up with our live TV crew—we’re about to launch into a weekend of staging a live broadcast event, which will be available in more than 200 countries worldwide!! (Holy cow, Batman!)
For now, we’re setting up equipment; stories to come soon, complete with pictures and more videos. Stay tuned to this Web site (http://ccmbts.blogspot.com), or follow us on Twitter (@CCMstudios), Facebook (Center for Creative Media fan page) or Myspace (www.myspace.com/ccmedia1)!
