Hi gang

Hi gang

I have two potential locales lined up:
The Doctors' compound at 1014-22 Dumaine, French Qtr
Got permission from Dr. Brobson Lutz to use the courtyard areas, and permission to use one of the apartments, from the occupant, Johnny Walker
(Brobson has a dinner party Sat nite and does not want us in the main house all day)
Grounds include restored historic bldgs, shady courtyard, freeform swimming pool, raised overlook area, gazebo, neon signs, great landscaping
I think: great for romantic comedy, maybe spooky enough in the shaded areas and alleys, lovers in the pool, drowning at the pool, falling from balconies, historic costume piece, could dress courtyard to look like an outdoor cafe...
The apartment is fairly compact, but it has living/dining/kitchen/bath below and a loft bedroom (spiral stair)
Could probably arrange to have Johnny show you around if you want to scope it out
He says Playboy mag has done some shoots there

Jonathan Ferrara Art gallery
http://www.jonathanferraragallery.com/
He has some construction work ongoing, so the gallery is closed to public
But he said we could probably use if we want
Just need to call him to confirm (522-5471 per website)
I haven't been to his new space, but the link shows big open gallery rooms
Also - sorry - I won't have any time to meet with you these weeknights
Rehearsing and then doing a tiny walk-on in Uncle Vanya Th - Sun evenings
(Come see, not cuz of me, but to see a good show - Backyard Ballroom, Bywater, $15)

Saturday s/b filming The Local 504
Maybe Sunday too
But let me know your plans in case I do get a break

So - how did the Sunday footage come out?
