I want to be a millionaire
As part of my latest get-rich-quick scheme concocted because of by my annoyance at being a poor student, I'll be trying out for Who Wants to be a Millionaire? on June 6 at ABC's headquarters on the Upper West Side. You can sign-up here. It may be hard to get on the show (particularly for me), but I hope that the result will be at least a bit better than when I was 15 and tried out for Teen Jeopardy!. There, I discovered that knowing a bit more opera might be helpful in life.
In related news, there was another film crew in Harlem today, this one from Canterbury Productions filming a cafe scene at Settepani on 120th. A quick google of the company reveals that they're in the "adult entertainment" business.
Last week sombody was filming a music video in Marcus Garvey Park and were a bit annoyed when I carried my laundry on the sidewalk within view of the camera. (Hey, close the sidewalk if you don't want disturbances there.)
Back in Chicago I occasionally stumbled across the set of The Weather Man, forthcoming this fall. It was filmed along North Michigan Avenue, and Nicholas Cage appears to live in the "starting in the $1.1 millions" condos of 800 North Michigan, a block down the avenue from my former building. (Two-bedroom condos in that building have been listed for rent at $17,000/month.) In fact, the crew occasionally had the outside of the tony building decorated in fake snow. There area also scenes on Wacker Dr. outside the Sears Tower and Mancow Merchandise Mart, accoring to the trailer.
