It’s been four stressful, hectic and bitter cold months, but our film is finally wrapped and I’m heading off today for a much needed vacation. So there’ll be a bit of a hiatus til the next post…

Hey everyone -

I’ll be on the radio program Seven Second Delay tonight (Wednesday) to talk about location scouting! The show starts at 6pm (I should be on at 6:30pm), and will be broadcast live on WFMU (91.9FM in NY/90.1 in the  Hudson Valley). We’re taping at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre ($5 gets you a seat). More info here, live streaming here.

The show will be guest co-hosted by broadcasting legend Joe Franklin, which is pretty darn cool. It’s funny, I know he’s had a long and influential career, but I’ll always remember him first and foremost from his moment in the Ghostbusters montage.

And if you’re just finding Scouting NY for the first time, here’s a handy a list of my favorite posts from over two years of writing. Enjoy!
