Film crews know how to eat!

So, a fairly major Hollywood production is being filmed at the high school where I work, and today the parking lot and several hallways and courtyards were closed off to students. I really had not much of an idea about it - I'd heard last week that it was going to be an educational film, which was way off - so was pretty surprised today. No big stars are in it, but a number of young actors who have been in a lot of movies and television shows. It's a teen dance movie.

I'm not going to give much away, except to say that these film set people know how to eat! Teachers and staff were invited to partake (or, at least, we did), and there was an outside line consisting of sea bass, spaghetti, roasted chicken, seared vegetables, and I thought that was all. Nope. Inside, there was a salad bar to rival any that I've ever seen, and a dessert table full of several options.

The school gets to keep all the cool stuff they're using for the filming, too. It's too bad they have to add so much stuff to make it look like a nice, viable public school, but getting to keep the stuff sure is nice. I'm guessing we're getting more, as well. It's pretty neat to see.

DUDE! WHAT'D WE GET WHAT'D WE GET!! Seriously, what movie was being filmed? Did they use the 3rd floor at all? I hope it wasn't Chilean Sea
Bass, as it is being overfished to extinction (check out the link to a flash on this at www.themeatrix.com) It'd be nice if they left central air behind! ;>) See ya tomorrow at "el perro con sed"

That's pretty cool that they leave stuff for your school. What sort of things are they leaving behind?
