Our adventures in Santa Clarita continue with the filming of CSI Las Vegas in our little apartment complex. Yep, that's right, a whole crew of well over 100 people, five semi's, trailers, security guards, fake cop cars, fake prostitutes, a fake villain, cameras, lots of lights, and a few of the stars were all chilling in our tiny parking lot last night. They used our friend's apartment that they had just moved out of to film a stake out of a criminal living in a white trash apartment. I'll admit that our apartments aren't the most stylish but they made it even more ghetto by shining neon blue spot lights on the sides of the buildings (very Vegas I guess). I also got a peak at the inside after the "art department" was done with our (Mormon) friend's old apartment. It looked exactly like a trashy crack dealer's place complete with alcohol bottles and cigarette butts everywhere, multiple phones, little mirrors with razor blades and all the cheasy 70's furniture you can imagine as well as clutter and trash. I hope to get copies of the pictures I took with the apt manager soon.
So last night instead of watching TV or reading for entertainment, I went up to my friend's apt and watched the filming from her bedroom window while eating pizza. I think it will air next month but I'm not sure what date. All I can say is it was VERY surreal!
Brent just got back in town last night from Mammoth for work meetings and snow boarding. Unfortunately the film crew was completely packed up and gone by the time he got home at around 10:30pm (sorry Brent). He is still in one piece but I don't think he feels like it. It was his first time and apparently everything hurts.
Barb and Kenn, we will pray for you as well and hope you are at peace with the decision you make.
