“Nothing to see here folks, move along!” So yesterday I worked all 13 hours of my double shift and was rushing home to meet a friend of mine to jam. As if I wasn’t tired, sweaty, and crabby enough, I was stopped in my tracks by some production geek telling me I couldn’t cross at the moment because “they” were filming a key scene. Huh? “Who’s doing what? I just live across the street and want to get home!!!” The geek said “I’m sorry but I can’t let you through!” After arguing back and forth, standing with a bunch of other locals who were also hot and desperate to get home, I was told they were shooting scenes for the new “Nightmare On Elm Street.” Yes, that is the reason I couldn’t get home and had to wait 10 minutes! Needless to say it was annoying, and they wouldn’t even let us shoot pictures!? But since I was in no mood to be told no, I shot one:)! They were pissed, I was laughing, but in the end, there was really nothing to see there. Just a lot of semis full of equipment, young dudes who thought they might get a surprise roll in the film if they hung out or worked for schillings as part of the production team, and a couple of bright lights. I did like the new Friday the 13th, so maybe this new nightmare will be cool.

That’s my rant, Cut-Kid-Out!
BTW, when I woke up hours later the semis were gone, along with the crew…but there was a weird picture on my phone, do you think I dreamt it? Maybe it was a “Nightmare On My Street,” like DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince once had? We’ll never know!!!!!!!
