Thanks for the new thread, mots!

Thanks Mots

Thanks for the new thread.

Thanks Mots.

OT: I'm having a terrible morning. Woke up with a headache and got to work only to realize that they're doing roof work (stinky, smelly tar), they are so loud and I can't find the Tylenol! *pouts*

thank you.

Thanks for the thread.

I actually think DSR is okay, and I think it would be interesting, and fun, and funny, to see what he could do without being stuck with ASP's double mess: "Partings" and David Sutcliff's contract. I suspect we would be pleasantly surprised.

Thanks for the new thread, Mots.

I just "party shuffled" my iTunes library, and the first song that came up .... Reflecting Light .... Oy.

Thanks for the thread, Mots!

Thanks Mots for the thread.

Hi, all, I know I usually just lurk here but I've been out of town for a few days with no internet access and I had a quick question.

Has anyone seen the contest on The CW site? It is a contest to go to Los Angeles and tour the Gilmore Girls set. To me it is a good sign for a season 8 because if you win the contest the tour is to be taken between September and November. Now it may sound crazy but according to a tour guide I had on a recent tour at the WB he said that as soon as the show is over for good they would take down the sets and all the locations in Stars Hallow would go back to being generic. I realize that from time to time they shoot other stuff at those locations so they have to replace signs and all but would it not make sense that if they are going to continue with season 8 then the time the tour would be taken would be perfect for promoting the new season. And if they weren't why would you wait until then to have people tour the sets when they could use that space for new fall stuff because they would definitely be taping the new season then.

I don't know if this makes any sense or not or if I put it in the correct area.

Oh yeah and on the tour we saw the party clothes for the extras and they were filming at Ms. Patty's. We also Sean Gunn, Mr. Doose (because I can't think of his name), Ms. Patty, and Lauren Graham.

Thanks Mots :)

Is this going to get me kicked out: I don't like Reflecting Light....:gone:

I love everything about the episode....except ..... that..... song.

ETA: Welcome rootin4ll! Thanks for the tour report.

Thanks for the thread, Mots.

rootin4ll, what kind of party clothes were they wearing? Really fancy stuff, or costumes, or, or, or...?

eta: Thanks rootin4ll. Interesting.

I could only see the bottom portion of the clothes they had them covered up so that they wouldn't get dirty, but they looked like fancy clothes but I'm not 100% sure. I just know the tour guide pointed them out as we were passing by.

Thanks, rootin4ll. Do you know what episode was filming when you were there? And were the extras for the filming in Miss Patty's? Or were they for something else?
