...to see that the corner across from my apartment had been taken over for a movie shoot.

They'd even set up a fake subway entrance on the opposite corner!

On Monday morning I looked out my window....

A pretty regular occurrence; I almost tuned it out but then as I was passing I noticed...

Was walking through Tompkins on Thursday afternoon on my way to work and noticed they were filming something.

On the walk through Tompkins Square park there was all sorts of a movie lighting gear everywhere.

On Tuesday I decided to play hookey from work and head to Six Flag's Great Adventure with Dennis, Karen and Natasha! They were filming Across the Universe (the forthcoming Beatles musical) in our neighborhood and a bunch of the vehicles from the movie were parked on the corner of Dens' block! (BTW, not only is Dennis' web site the inspiration for this web site, he's also a much more responsible blogger than I am. Case in point, he posted his diary entry about this day like 2 years ago when it happened.)

After my swim, I met up with Louis and we headed over to one of the big entertainment's movie lots (where our meeting was taking place). We had some time to kill before the meeting started so we walked around their "New York City" lot and I snapped this pic of "Mulberry & Grand St." (which in real life is three blocks from my apartment).
