Boston Legal: I Believe Tonight’s The Night

Boston LegalI’m about 99% sure tonight is the episode that my friend Doug & I are extras on the set of Boston Legal.  I’m told we’re the third scene from the end.  It will be a dinner scene in which I’ll be sitting off the right shoulder of Denny Crane (William Shatner…Bill to his friends).  🙂

Boston Legal setSee diagram for what I remember the scene to look like.  Keep in mind we are supposed to be in a restaurant so I’m eating the same salad for almost an hour.  But such is the life of us Hollywood stars. 

All in all it was a fantastic experience.  And if I’m wrong about tonight then we’ll definitely be on next week.  I know the election night coverages have put their schedule off a bit. 

boston-legal-chris-doug.jpgHere is a photo of Doug Dickerson and I getting our photos taken on the famous balcony.  This photo was taken immediately after the shoot so you can see the crew in the background breaking down while a set director hurriedly took our picture. 

I sat down expecting a real chair.  But they are hard plastic.  The scotch glasses are nothing more than cheap plastic.  The law books are foam.  It’s an amazingly fake world they create.  Even the city scape scenes are done with smoke and mirrors.  It’s pretty cool.

Editor’s Note:  I just received this email from a guy who would know about tonight…

Regarding your episode Tuesday, you two will be seen in the
background of the third to last scene in the show.  It will
be in the last act, and the scene comes after the “farewell”
scene between Candace and Scott Bakula (they say goodbye in
the courtroom).  Unfortunately, because of the position of
the camera, you pretty much see only the back of your head
as the camera pans across you to Denny.  There’s also a
quick cut back to the wide shot halfway through the scene
and we csn see your entire table behind Denny & Shore’s table.
But remember, it’s a quick cut; I did it that way to emphasize
Denny & Alan’s surprise to their “date’s” philandering.  Oh
well, at least you got to eat at the table next to the big
cheese’s!
 

So there you have it!  Heck, I’ll take what I can get.  It was fun.  And we got free pizza!

Real Estate: Information on Real Estate

If you are reading this on any other blog but BBQ Capital.com you are reading a pirated blog by unscrupulous thieves who are hoping you will order from their Google Adwords.  I find them annoying and order them to cease and desist with stealing my intellectual property.

How does that work for you?

Predatory Borrowers Helped Create Mortgage Mess

Predatory Borrowers Helped Create Mortgage Mess
by Michelle Malkin
Kansas City Star – January 31, 2008

Who says bipartisanship is dead? From President Bush to Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama and John Edwards, to Mitt Romney and John McCain, virtually everyone in Washington agrees: The government must Do Something to stop home foreclosures across the country.

These leaders agree on the total presumption of homeowner innocence. The borrower-as-victim and lender-as-predator storylines are etched in stone. Can’t let reality get in the way of election-year pander-monium.

Click here to continue the opinion piece at KCStar.com. 

I am only going to say that I share this opinion and have been saying so for a year.  Though not as eloquently nor near as succinctly.

Meme Time

There’s an annoying tradition on blogs.  It’s called being Meme’d.  Now that I’ve been tagged by Lani I have to tell you 7 things about myself and then pass this annoyance on to other people.  Sort of like the change letter from Hell.

  1. I started losing my hair when I was 18.
  2. My favorite bar when I was in college was Louise’s.  It’s still there.
  3. I was enrolled at KState right up to the minute I actually came to my senses and went to Kansas.
  4. I love Mexican food as much as BBQ.
  5. I have been shot at.  (And it wasn’t because of my sarcastic humor.)
  6. One day I want to skydive.
  7. I’d risk everything for a chance in outer space.

Now I’m going to tag Jeff, Christopher, Pat, Bill, and, ah, heck…that’s enough for Pete’s sake.
