Remember Bottle Service, the webseries that filmed some pilot episodes last February up at Saratoga’s Mare / Metro / whatever it’s called now? The one where I had a cameo appearance as a paparazzo photographer, and then later another cameo as a muscle-headed enforcer in an entourage? It was a great few days of work and fun for me, and I enjoyed every minute of it.
Well, some time ago I received an e-mail from Daniela Malave, the former Albany Patroons dance team member who is now carving out a career as a New York City actress.
Hope all is well and wanted to keep you posted on Bottle Service. We will be holding a launch/ gala event at Metro on Sept 15th and would love for you to be our photographer and talk about the event in your blog. You have been an amazing asset to our production and would love for you to continue to be part of the process. Hopefully the date works for you and look forward to hearing from you!
Sounds like fun!
And, in fact, here’s more information on the upcoming event.

Teetering on the knife-edge of glamour and grime, Bottle Service is a weekly web-series centered on the inner workings of a high-class nightclub, its staff and its VIP Patrons. The series follows a diverse principal cast of five whose lives revolve around, and livelihoods depend on, “Club It”.
You are cordially invited to attend!
The much highly anticipated web-series Bottle Service will be holding a launch party gala event to help raise funds to help complete post-production. Save the date for September 15th, 2011 at 7:00pm as our event will be held at the trendy Metro Club, located in beautiful historic downtown Saratoga. Join us for a fabulous evening of live music, entertainment, and mingle with musicians, actors, filmmakers, artist and art lovers from Albany, Saratoga and NYC!
Hosted by WNYT News Channel 13, Benita Zahn. Including performances by Libertina Dance Company, NYC’s Spokinn Movement, and American Idol Top 24 Contestant, Jerome Bell will be performing his hit “Collide.”
