I'm late posting this entry. I've been trying to sort out everything that happened and how I feel about it all day. I think I'm ready.

We shot all of the scenes for Jack Kenny's roadhouse today and we did it in a place called Keeylocko Cowtown. An entire town built in the desert by an aging black cowboy named Ed Keeylocko.

To get to this location we drove 30 miles out of Tucson and turned onto a dirt road and drove yet another 20 minutes. We ended up sandwiched between a Native American reservation and some mountains. Beyond the mountains - Mexico.

The town consists of a dozen or so buildings all built by hand during the last thirty years by Ed Keeylocko himself. Each is unique and looks like something out of the old west.

Amongst the buildings are a variety of animal pens that house horses, cows, pigs and a wide variety of birds. They even had a performing stage and a rodeo arena. Electric power was provided by a generator and I noticed that my cell phone had NO BARS showing.

The few trees in the town house animal skulls, skins, and parts. One tree is festooned with dozens of shoes and boots. Another has an entire cow head hanging to rot and dry in the sun.

Old vehicles, farm equipment, bathtubs and anything else you can imagine fills every crack and crevice between the buildings.

I thought the outside was eclectic until I stepped into the saloon. The well appointed bar was rough hewn and fronted by stools made of two by fours and covered with scraps of carpet. The floor was a mixture of pea gravel and sand. More bones, including a human skull, hung from the rafters. Hundreds of knick knacks and pictures filled the walls and ceiling.

Some of the locals - I don't know if their are actual 'citizens' of Keeylocko - drank beer and watched us all day. One very interesting looking man - part Mexican, part Indian - in a black hat and leather vest entertained us with his electric guitar and a karaoke machine. When he opened his mouth Johnny Cash poured out.

A few of the crew danced with a couple of the locals and the room instantly filled with dust. Thinking more dancing would be coming, they kindly sprinkled the floor with water to knock the dust back down.

Ed Keeylocko himself was dressed in vintage cowboy attire and looked like he wore it everyday. This old man was well spoken and a genuinely nice man. He seemed to thoroughly enjoy having us there. He plays the role of Murphy the bartender in the film and handled it like a pro.

We shot all of our scenes - including some stunt work from Justin - and had an amazing time.

At the end of the day, we packed up all our gear and made the long trek back to the highway and on back to Tucson.

It was, in a word, surreal. There are a lot of moments during the last week that make this trip worthwhile, but the trip to Keeylocko tops them all.
