When we spoke to Robert Drake from Hot House in December 2008, he said he was shooting a new porn for Hot House in January. The timing was perfect. It is the quietest time of the year for us, and the prospect of flying to San Francisco from Vancouver in the middle of the winter was very appealing. Our green city had just endured a month of snow. Unlike other Canadian cities that is highly unusual here. Suffice to say we couldn't wait to go.
We like to come prepared and packed way more than we needed for the handful of days that we were traveling. One bag was dedicated to our leather and nasty pig gear. We brought a handful of fat dildoes as well and our favorite lube.
We arrived in San Francisco on Monday, January 12 and Robert - who was also going to direct us picked us up and drove us to our hotel. The Days Inn is more a motel from an era long gone by. Like most hotels and motels, the beds weren't too comfortable, but we really enjoyed the neighbourhood called Hayes Valley.
Robert took us out for dinner that night to a great little burger place just blocks away from the Hotel: Flippers. It's old, it's anything but fancy, but the burgers are big, decadent and fresh.
We were pretty excited to sit down with Robert who seems to go through life a 100 miles an hour. He thought we were going to look great in his movie and he had already told Steven Scarborough, president of Hot House, about us. He said next month they'd have another project they were considering us for.
We were flattered. These guys had only seen some pictures of us - they did know Brendan's work of course - and now we were going to do two movies.
Tuesday was the big day. Robert picked us up in the morning and took us to the Hot House Studio. We met the crew who were all very friendly and professional and the photographer "Mocha" was there as well to take all those great shots in between the shoot. He's one of those guys you can't help liking with a big genuine smile on his face and always trying to get one more picture.
Brendan and I had to dress up in our jeans, t-shirts and boots. For us that's hardly dress up. We wear that almost every day. But Robert really liked the look. He wanted us to encounter each other in a dark alley set and then start making out. Luke suggested that we need some cigars to make things more interesting and Robert send out someone right away to pick us up a few. Yes, improvisation on the set works.
When you see the end-result, the scene we did for Ass Pigs looks so easy. But don't be fooled. It took an entire day to film this. And this was just a dildo-fuck movie. For us, that is actually pretty vanilla stuff. But we did really enjoy doing it. Plus, it was the first time we got to do this as a couple. There was only one regret: Luke had to shoot his load all over the dildo. That's not where Brendan wanted it!
