Warner Brothers & My Birthday

wwcitizenWhile we were in LA, one of our day trips was to the back lots of Warner Brothers. Matt's sister is REALLY connected to lots of people and places, which is great for us. We took lots of pictures, but only a few of them could I post from the back lots and stages. There were movies and TV shows in production, for which we can't show the sets till after they all air. So, I'm sharing judiciously.
We were escorted and introduced around initially by Robert Duncan McNeill, aka Tom Paris from Star Trek Voyager (yes, I got a picture with him). Robbie, as he introduced himself, is the director of Chuck! We got to see them filming a few of the scenes!! It was an interesting thing to participate in and see happening up close and personal. During the day we saw (from a distance and) met a few of the stars from the show: Scott Krinsky (met - very cool guy!!), Adam Baldwin (met - is VERY strange), Jesse Heiman (met - also on Glee!), Joshua Gomez (saw from a distance), and a couple others, including some of the SWAT guys from the set.
After Robbie left us, we basically had free reign of the back lots - he let us in, gave us a short tour, and then let us loose! It was REALLY cool! The only drawback was that we didn't know what buildings or sets were used in which shows. The only places we knew were used in certain filming was plaques on the Stages. We did, however, find buildings from the sets of the Gilmore Girls, Two and a Half Men, and TRUE BLOOD!!
Hollywood, Hollywood Blvd., Sunset Blvd, Beverly Hills, and Rodeo Drive were our next quick destinations. We finally made it to sushi for my birthday dinner, which was REALLY good. The maître d’ at the restaurant was exceptionally handsome and had that questionable lingering eye contact. That was a fun day.
Still working on the other photos from that week. 4000+ photos are hard to work through and hone down into bite-sized chunks!!
