*FULL LOAD AUTOMATIC GUNFIRE*
There are some large warehouse spaces across the street from my home that have been turned into stages used to film various television shows and such, I really don't pay much attention to what shows, but sometimes we get informed of filming that might concern the locals. I got a flyer on my door the other day from 20th Century Fox with the following message.
Dear Neighborhood Residents: We are proposing to film scenes for our television series "24" on Thursday, Oct 21st and Friday, October 22nd from 7:00 AM to 12:00 PM at our stage located at ---------.
Our planned activity is for INTERIOR *FULL LOAD AUTOMATIC GUNFIRE*
We are working very closely with the City of Los Angeles to obtain all of the necessary permits. We understand that while in the area we are your guests and will work hard to minimize our impact on your neighborhood. If you have any concerns, feel free to contact me at the number below. In case of an emergency, you may also contact the L.A. Film Office at --------. Thank you for helping support film production in Southern California.
Sincerely, Bill -------- Production Manager
Now, there's only a few questions I have about this letter. Could you at least mention that you will be shooting blanks? I mean "full load automatic gunfire" doesn't sound too safe. Also, If there is an emergency, the L.A. Film Office will NOT be the first people I call. Oh, and tell Kiefer to come over and join me for lunch. I want to add him to my list in the previous post.

Celebrity Link Mine Field.
I was watching one of those "I Love the 80's" shows on MTV or VH1 or whatever and I saw Sheryl Lee Ralph, and it hit me that I've met a strange mixture of celebrities and sudo-celebrities in my life. I thought I'd try to write them all down so here it goes. Remember I'm counting people that just had their fifteen minutes along with those that are legends along with those that are only famous in their own worlds. I also only counted them if I had at least small talk with them, more than hellos. Off the top of my head, no particular order:
musicDave Wakeling, B2K, Destiny's Child, Ashanti, Monica. Why so few musicians, and only one white guy? I don't even like R&B, but I've met a bunch of R&B singers at my friends studio. I've also met others, but don't remember their names.
Anyway, I don't really feel lucky meeting these fine folks, with the exception of a few of them of course. I just look at this list and try to imagine them all in one room together. What a strange party that would be.
