TV Groupie?

It’s no secret that the TV show Leverage films in Portland.
Mostly in our neighborhood, I think. I’ve seen them filming a few times before…and, I don’t know the proper lingo, but it appears that they have an “open set”…or something like that. 
Meaning, you can literally walk/drive/pedal right on by while they are filming.
They rarely close off streets from what we’ve seen.

So, imagine my delight when I was running an errand on Friday, totally minding my own bees wax,
and I find myself driving through (literally) their set.
I don’t watch the show, and couldn’t name one actor on it…until now. Christian Kane.
He walked right in front of my car. We locked eyes. He smiled. I didn’t. Played it cool, you know.
Ladies, he is waaaaaaaaaaay better looking in person than on TV. The hair is a shame, but who cares.

When the live in got home that night I begged him to walk back down to where they were filming. I told him about the connection Christian and I have. He was not amused. But, we did go back down there and he did agree that the whole process is pretty impressive. Aside from the business they took over and transformed into their set, they also take up an entire empty block with tents and trailers and buses and food.
Makes me wanna be a groupie…

  1. You should try to be an extra! I have never watched the show, but if you happened to wander your way into it somehow I would check it out.
