I promised to post the photo taken of Karen Newman and me, so here it is. For those of you who don’t know Karen, she is “the voice of the Red Wings”, as she sings the national anthem before all of the home games. She is also a down to earth, first class lady.
Here we are, my wife Alley & me, in Petoskey, MI; so far North in lower Michigan that it is just barely West. Our lastest travels have taken us through Boyne Falls and the “tunnel of trees” North of Harbor Springs on M-119. We are just taking a weekend to getaway from the hustle and bustle of busy schedules and crowded city life.
For everyone who was listening to our broadcast on Friday, I hope you liked our special panel. If you get a chance, try to catch us at the MVP Sports Grill in Romulus For a “Monday Night Football” gig this coming Monday.
Ciao.
There’s excitement afoot in Romulus, as the movie Miss January, starring Dustin Ingram, Kim Cattrall and Brian Dennehy, was being filmed there this week. The movie is set in a small town in Indiana, but was shot in Southeastern Michigan. The casting director, while looking for extras, didn’t use my agent’s company so that is why I didn’t even get an audition.
What’s funny is there was a small part shot in the barber shop where I get my weekly haircut and a major quantity of sports talk. The production shuttered the downtown area and I couldn’t get into the barber shop. I wasn’t too upset as I got to say hello to Kim Cattrall and it’s a good thing for the City of Romulus.
It’s been fun for the residents to see how a movie location is shot, mostly hurry up and wait, which to me is the challenge of it all. Maybe the next time Hollywood comes to Romulus my agent will be in the loop.
