Finally got my new ID badge at work so now I'm all official. The best part is I got to take a nice leisurely stroll down a busy New York street to get to the office where the badges are handed out. Can't really ask for a better way to spend a Monday than that. Okay so I wasn't actually in New York City. For those of you who have never been to LA and done a studio tour, let me fill you in on a little Hollywood secret. Every lot has a section that they call New York street. It's exactly that, a street that looks like a non-descript section of New York City or Chicago or Boston etc. And they use it to save money on traveling back east and shooting on location. You'd be surprised how many times you've watched a show in NYC that was actually shot right here in LA. The most recent one I think of is Heroes. They shot pretty much all of their New York scenes either on a lot or in downtown LA. Tadaaa! Magic. Anyways, the ID badge office was on the other side of our New York street and they were busy getting it ready to shoot some scenes from a primetime television show. So me being the production junky that I am, I had a great time just watching them put the whole thing together. So much so that I got lost and couldn't figure out where the heck the building I was looking for was. So I made a lot of circles around various parts of the lot. Which was actually cool because I got to see of lot of it. No pun intended. Plus it helped get my step count up which is cool. Yesterday I ended up doing about 7400 steps. Which is roughly 4 miles according to my counter. So that was cool. I can't think of a better way to get exercise than to take a stroll through New York City. Can you?
