Warner Brothers Lot Tour

My friend Maurice, who is a fellow cast member from "The River" flew into town today from Texas. He is staying with me for a week. My friend Joe, who works at Warner Brothers, took us on a private tour of the lot. We saw where they film scenes in that take place in NYC, where they film part of ER and the sound stage where they filmed seasons 2-10 of Friends. It was a really fun tour but Maurice said that it made him a little bit disillusioned to see where they filmed shows he sees on television all shot in one place and not in the least bit real. Many of the production offices on the lot are built to look like houses or hotels so that they can be used as exteriors while people are inside working.

After the tour we took quick naps and then went to a birthday party that my friend Todd threw. The rumor in LA before every party is always about which famous person is friends with somebody and is going to attend. Burt Reynolds was supposed to come tonight, but he never made it. The party was still a lot of fun. Todd and several roommates rent a house so each room of the house has a different activity like Rockband or Karaoke and then there is always a BBQ in the backyard.
