YIKES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No wonder you used the term 'pricey'
If I went, I would drive, buy a gold ticket and hunker down
No interest in studio tours as I spent an entire week at Universal.
My cousin Jerry, a set designer, left my name at the gate
Every morning about 10AM I would drive through and then find parking marked 'visitor'....then the fun would begin.
I even waved a couple of times at those things tourists ride on.
:P
He told me the red, yellow and green light rules for entering and leaving sound stages and shooting areas and left me on my own.
It was great. I loved not only the sound stages, but the back lots.
I watched so many films and tv shows being shot. What a boring life, so many takes. I remember one time 23 to just get one shot.
We ate in the commissary every day and then I would go home about 3PM and take a nap and when later we would go to dinner and some night spots when he got home about 8PM.
His house was a beautiful Tudor decorated with a lot of stuff from films, tv shows etc.
Very memorable week for me.

Sounds like a fun time! I did get to visit the sets where they filmed Kung Fu the Legend Continues, Due South, and Earth FInal Conflict (all I remember of the latter was very cool clear stairs).

Oh wonderful. It is a lot of fun isn't it?
I loved Due South.
I am not familiar with Earth Final Conflict.
Vancouver is quite the shooting area now.
Portland is becoming quite popular too.
They moved Leverage up here lock, stock and barrel
I wish Joe would become part of a series shooting here
>:-)
Well a girl can daydream can't she???
:P

Alas, Joe doesn't want to do vancouver again. Wish he'd do NYC... nice and close, sorta...

I think since he lives in Malibu LA would be the spot, but
more and more film companies are opting NOT to do LA as it is so
congested etc..............
I can see why he does not want Vancouver. It is even more rainy and cold than Portland.........and when I say cold I mean it rains here and the temp is 38 which means cold IMO.
