Unsuccessful attempts...

Today, I had planned on going to the pilot episode of a new show called, "Sh*t My Dad Says." It stars William Shatner as the dad. It is based on a Twitter account of the same name.

A coworker invited me and we were very excited. We met at the studio. Unfortunately for us, everyone in the world wanted to watch it as well, as it was a Sunday and nothing films on Sundays. So we were unsuccessful in our attempt to actually score seats.

Instead of driving straight home, we opted to walk the Warner Bros. Lot on a beautiful Sunday afternoon. I took Moff* on a tour of the Warner Bros. Lot. We hung out, walked around, took some pics. We had fun, so it wasn't a complete waste of time to go all the way into town on a Sunday.

To our surprise, there actually was one other show filming on the lot on this Sunday. A new pilot from David E Kelley tentatively called "Kindreds" starring Kathy Bates. And we saw her leaving set as we talked to security. That was pretty cool.

By the time we finally left the lot, "Sh*t My Dad Says" had finished filming too, and I saw William Shatner leaving the studio in his car.

All in all, I suppose it turned into a rather good day.

Week in Review: 3/15 to 3/21

This week was the last week that CHUCK was filming on our lot :(

I worked a lot of overtime this week. And I had 2 days off (I either had to use these special holidays or I would lose them). I was very sad that the company was forcing me to take time off during a very busy week of the year. But somehow, I managed to make my way over to the lot on those 2 days.

Monday 3/15:

To start off the week, I watched Dark Blue film some scenes on Hennessy Street, Logan Marshall-Greene was in the scenes.

I saw Zachary Levi as well as some of the BUY MORE background extras.

I saw Johnny Galecki and Kaley Cuoco from The Big Bang Theory hanging outside their stage.

And randomly saw Skeet Ulrich and character actor Brad Rowe.

Tuesday 3/16:

Watched Dark Blue run traffic on Hennessy Street and saw the director of the first episode of the 2nd Season: Jeffrey Hunt.

Wednesday 3/17 (St. Patty's Day):

I had a very nice conversation with Zachary Levi when I ran into him on my lunch. I also saw Dark Blue prep and The Mentalist prep and some of the actors from The Big Bang Theory.

Thursday 3/18:

My required day off... I didn't do a whole lot during the day except get ready for my Mom's visit.

I got a text in the evening asking if I was still at work, which I wasn't... but quickly dressed and drove over so that I could join Mute, on an expedition onto the lot, in hopes of seeing the CHUCK cast on their last day of filming for the 3rd Season on the WB lot. And we were successful in our expedition, we ran into the boys of the show: Zac, Adam, Ryan and Josh. Short, quick chats all around. Unfortunately for us, I had to head to the airport to pick up my mom for her quick trip to visit me for the weekend.

Friday 3/19:

With my mom in tow, we went back to the WB lot on Friday, we had lunch at the commissary, enjoying the sun, the food and the general atmosphere of the WB lot. I gave her my own special tour and then we headed to Santa Monica to enjoy the sun some more and the beach. We ended our night with dinner at Bubba Gump's on the Santa Monica Pier.

Saturday 3/20:

Took my mom to Universal Studios for her very 1st time. We enjoyed the park for about 7 hours. Went on rides, enjoyed a couple of shows. We had fun. We went shopping and to end the night we went to see The Bounty Hunter. (it was an okay film)

Sunday 3/21:

To end the week, my mom ran errands with me. We sort of enjoyed breakfast at Souplantation. I didn't really care for it much. And then I had to drive her back to the airport. She caught an earlier flight.

And for dinner, I went to Olive Garden with my roomies... Ah, that's the best!
