Lights! Camera! ACTION! (in our town!)

I love surprises, and it's a good thing too, because they are EVERYWHERE!

Example: We went to the park this evening to get our swing on (you know, because Rocketship is a complete swinging addict!) and were greeted at the entrance by this sign.


I will summarize - it basically just reads:

"Blah blah blah, we are shooting a production called Home Run Derby blah blah blah and putting this sign up is easier than having all you rubber-neckers sign disclosure statements blah blah blah and if you don't agree blah blah blah you can skid-attle yourselves outta here."
A production, huh? Cool. I mean, we don't usually get this kind of action in our little park!

And here it is, a gaggle of crew members, and I DO MEAN GAGGLE! I had no idea it took this many people to "make it all happen". But they there are. A couple of guys on a camera dolly thing. Someone with a script in hand. Some other loudmouth piping orders all over the place. A few taking a break. And what appeared to be a child actor being thrown a ball by an adult actor.
Here's one of their large trucks, complete with generator trailer, catering cart, and another trailer that could only have been a port-o-potty (presumably super-posh!).

Check out all these trucks!


You just never know what's around the corner!
