Things I learned at the Tredara shoot this weekend:

1) DJ will - one way or another - be getting his own personal keg for the wrap party. You know you're in the presence of a fun drunk when the beer-loving Druids start saying they want to give them a beer just to see what they'll do next.

2) If you decide to sleep in your car you'll feel strangely disconnected from the rest of the group... until you wake up the next morning and everyone else is complaining about sleeping on the cold hard ground. Booyah for reclining seats.

3) Everyone has exponentially more fun filming when we're not rolling sound.

4) All of the good takes of make-out scenes should instantly go up on Facebook. And here's Exhibit A: http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1333563103#!/video/video.php?v=147997631899364&ref=mf

5) I need to get the BOOM rules and cue cards ready. And sooner rather than later.

6) Nothing made the cast and crew happier than having an excuse to race around the meadow in Sue and Ian's golf cart. Nirvana is an electric car and a green patch to zip across.

7) Pot lucked food is more for dinner and late night munchies, when it comes to breakfast you're on your own.

8) Madison Ohio is heaven on earth, and the close proximity of delicious breakfast-based greasy spoons only proves that further.

9) Noelle was right: we still have a ways to go before things are picture perfect... but I believe if we keep her suggestions in mind, we're off to a great start.
