It's Not Every Day That... The Muppets!!

It's not every day that you get to see The Muppets!

Well, technically, I didn't see The Muppets, but I did get to see how Midwest was all decked out for The Muppets movie to shoot a scene in. Very cool. I also happened to see Jason Segel and Amy Adams arrive to set via golf cart.

It's Not Every Day That... 3rd Taping of CONAN

It's not every day that you get to go to a live taping.

Conan O'Brien's got a new late night show, simply titled CONAN.

I was fortunate enough to go to the 3rd show. Guests included: Jon Hamm, Charlene Yi and musical guest: Fistfuls of Mercy.

It was the first talk show I've ever had the opportunity of going to and it certainly will not be the last. It was entertaining and a lot of fun!

It's Not Every Day That... Halloween or Christmas?

Nothing says celebrating Halloween better than having 50+ Santas walking around the Warner Brothers lot of a Christmas episode of The Mentalist. The episode titled "Jolly Red Elf" happened to shoot during the days before Halloween.

Sure, when you go to a movie studio lot, you expect to see this most random costumes: cowboy, Roman solider, astronaut. But do you really ever think, that maybe you'll round a corner and run into 50 or so men dressed in Santa suits. Though, not all of them were in full blown costumes. Some of them had the summer look. You know, big white beard, big belly, Christmas-y Hawaiian shirt with shorts and sandals. Yes, it was a sight that would definitely turn anyone's head. And yes, it was very entertaining.

It's Not Every Day That... Fireball Explosions

It's not every day that you get invited to watch special effects as they happen.

One of the coolest teams I've met while walking the lot, the SPFX team from CHUCK. They are always so proud of all the cool special effects they get to do every week. That sometimes they forget that they can be dangerous.

A friend and I got invited to watch CHUCK shoot a fireball explosion one evening. Let's just say it was pretty cool. And even from the require distance we were standing from the explosion we could still feel the heat.
