Buffy Location Shoot - Tuesday 3/12

[BBOvenGuy]

I was going to hang onto this little bit of info until Tuesday, but in light of what's been going on today I'll post it now.

I have a new contact with access to the eidc shoot sheet, and through that contact I've been given the following Buffy location shoot:

Buffy shooting on location 3/12 from 7:00 to 21:00

145th St. E from Avenue O to Avenue Q

---

This location is in the desert east of Palmdale. It's on the 4 Aces property, where Buffy has gone before, most notably in "Restless" and "Spiral."

It's a heck of a drive from LA, but since I finished my first draft last week I do have a bit more flexibility in my schedule at the moment. Perhaps I'll be able to find some valuable info. If not, then at least I get to drive the Angeles Crest Highway again, and that's always fun. quote:

Thanx Bob,

Sounds like more dreams? Do you think Tara will populate them? jeeeezzzz....

BTW - I feel a bit ashamed as a Hoosier that my last name in Recker, at least Luke R's family is originally from Ohio.

[shellybean]

Yeah, it sounds like dreams or more running away. I'm so curious and wish that I lived in California just so I could go to these shoots. If you do end up going, please fill us in!

[Kiwiccan]

Bob what episode will this be?

I usually don't find out what episode it is until I get there. If I had to guess, I'd say it was either 20 or 21.

[wiltar]

Oh boy...20 or 21.
I hope it has something W/T in this shoot.... it would be nice to have some clarification on what's going on...

[lyzard]

Grrr.
I lived in the Lancaster/Palmdale area for the better part of 12 years (my parents still live there). Right now I want to kick whoever it was who decided that I should have classes up till the 13th!
Why, oh why couldn't this shoot be scheduled for the 14th when I'll be home for spring break?

[angelus]

i wonder if the shoot sheet will ever be available to the public again.

[wiltar]

Didn't they say -somewhere- on this board that it would be available again, but restricted... I'm almost sure I read that somewhere

you know, up until just a few days ago i would have said that there's no WAY anyone could top the location scouting where bob and shanie saw "under your spell" being filmed. but if bob uncovers evidence that gives us some good news in light of recent spoilery information, this will instantly be my favorite location report ever. so here's to the green saturn patrol!

[xita]

I remember getting lost in palmdale. Good luck Bob!

[shannon720]

Bob- Where do you find out the information of where they'll be shooting ahead of time? I was wondering since I will be in LA in less that two weeks and would be VERY interested in seeing anything Buffy.

[BBOvenGuy]

Yes, but Xita it will be daylight this time.

And I'm the only one with a green Saturn now, although one of my location-shoot-contacts does have a blue one.

Location shoot information is currently available online through the eidc (the agency that issues the permits). However, it's password protected and you have to present the eidc with credentials proving you're part of the media industry to get the password. I'm therefore dependent on finding people with the password who will give me information. I was lucky this time.

[shannon720]

Thanks, Bob. Guess I'll just have to rely on luck.

[AmberBensonFan]

Bob, what type of "creditals" are needed? I *might* be able to help you out if you could just point me in the right direction of contacting these people. Address/phone on how to apply for a password would be great. I might have enough info to apply.

Well, the application is here, and the info page is here. As far as I can tell, the credentials are as follows:

Alliance of Theatrical and Stage Employees, or similar organization; or (b) the owner or principal of a company that conducts business primarily with the entertainment industry, such as a catering company,
production equipment rental company, or similar enterprise. Written evidence of the required affiliation must be presented to EIDC prior to any grant of access, and the acceptability of the written evidence will

You also have to give a reason for access.

Hope this helps.quote:

Thanks for the files. I've applied, so we'll see how long it takes them to file the request.

Okay, I'm back!

It was nice and sunny out in the desert today, and yes there is news to report. However, Xita has asked that I place it in the spoiler thread, so I will not be posting it here.

Instead, here are some pics:

My car next to an enormous Joshua tree.

Trailers in the desert.

Off to the spoiler thread if you want to read the rest. Be very very sure you want to read the rest...

Nice Joshua Tree Bob!

Is that snow still on the mountain?

[BBOvenGuy]

Yeah, some of the taller peaks still have snow on them. We just had a storm go through a few days ago.
