some images from this month:



So, we had raccoons on set for the last two days of WTD. We shot in Douglaston Manor, Queens, which if you ask anyone (including me) we'll say that it's more Long Island than Queens. Hell, it's more East Hampton than anything. Bunch of rich peeps with control issues and giant McMansions and sprinkler systems. One of our interns was terrorized by this lady driving around a convertable VW Beetle that wanted her to "get off her property!!!1". By 'property' she meant 'sidewalk outside the fence outside her house'. So she firewatched from the other side of the street.

I digress. The entire area is plagued by two really funny things. (1) the sewer system is all cesspools! Too funny! We could use the crapper in the house we shot at because it just piles up under the house! Yippee rich folks! (2) horribly tame raccoons! They roved the streets at night in packs, ripping the hell out of garbage and scaring girly film crew members. Our crafty guy, Rob, who is as cool as any Dutchman, had never seen one before in his life. That night they were walking literally feet away from us - and we fed them well. What I learned from those nights is that raccoons loathe Combos but adore packaged bread.



#2: I spent the rest of the week at my parent's house at Seneca Lake near Geneva, NY. It. Was. Awesome. The videos will be posted at Awesome Squad, as soon as we get the site back and unsuspended again. Summary: we dyed my Mom's treasured pet poodle pink. Say that five times fast.
