Numb3rs

Thanks to my wife's uncle Marty (set decorator for the TV show Numb3rs), we were able to watch a few scenes being filmed in downtown LA on Sunday.


Here's star Rob Morrow between takes:


After the shoot wrapped, the F/X guy gave us a personal tour of the cars involved and explained how the effects were done.


They gave us this call sheet, some of the gun shells and the hard glue plugs that were actually used to break the glass (in lieu of real bullets).


Director Alex hard at work. What a prima donna!


All in all, a pretty sweet day. We even got to eat with the cast and crew. I don't really watch Numb3rs, but we'll have to check out this episode when it airs. It's set to air Friday May 16th on CBS.

Long Beach, California

The previously mentioned, Acres of Books:


The Pike at Long Beach, a shopping and entertainment area. My mom spent several years of her childhood in Long Beach and Pike's is about the only area that is similar to how it was then. The aquarium and the Queen Mary were not yet around.


The Queen Mary:


And Shoreline Village, where I had a bite to eat at Gitana's
