You forgot something, Val!

I told one of my forum members I'd do a photoshoot with Josh. I ended up building a bar-set for him to pose in with his brothers (all 4 are sons of Brandi Broke and Joe), but I built it in the street, because it was just supposed to be a set, and there's obviously no room on their home lot for an actual bar. Then I wanted to shoot from different angles, bring in props, etc, which meant actually building a very small-scale bar.

I forgot something pretty important, though. It took Josh a second to figure it out, because he had been in an animation loop for the shoot, I'd just canceled it out, and so he was mid-conversation with his twin, Jacob (about goldfish. Of course). But his brothers caught on, immediately. Can you guess what it is that I forgot?

"How YOU doin'?"

Doin' great, so far, Josh! How YOU doin', baby? How's the weather in there?



------------------------------------------------------------

It began raining. INSIDE. In unison, (pictured at the bar, left-right) Joey Jr., Bradley, and Jacob stood up and said "Huh??" (They really did!)



------------------------------------------------------------

Josh senses something ain't right. Why are his brothers acting like choreographed monkeys? Gary's pool stick slips right out of his hand.



------------------------------------------------------------

"Okay, what the hell??" Now Josh is peeved. "Why is my cap getting wet?!"




------------------------------------------------------------

"The roof! There's no roof! You can't build a roof on a STREET!" Three out of four Broke-Bayfield brothers smack their heads in disbelief.
Always one to find the humor in things, Joe thinks this is pretty damn amusing. He's stifling a laugh behind his sons' backs. "Way to go, Val! Ahahahaha!"



------------------------------------------------------------

Josh is astounded by my half-baked plan to build a bar set in the middle of the street. With no roof. In the rain. "What the hell was Val thinking? She knows I like my martinis DRY."

Joe and Gary wonder if they should attempt to resume their game of pool on wet felt. "Won't the chalk just make a paste?"




------------------------------------------------------------

"So, anyway. Where were we? Ah, yes. We were talking about goldfish."
"Guys, shouldn't we pursue this 'no roof' issue, first?" Josh isn't about to let me off the hook that easily...
