Nobody at this World Cup stops that. Not even Solo. She ABSOLUTELY was in position to deal with a normal cross...that went in right under the crossbar, on an especially weird angle. You’re just flat-out wrong here.

I’m sure this is the strategy for Brazil soccer bloggers during the men’s World Cup.

How about, “Yeah — on second look I see that there is no way she could have been in position to save that. I rushed to get it up, because that’s my job, but you’re right.”

I would argue it’s totally different. A sidewalk or street is literally there in order to facilitate movement throughout a city. Are you suggesting someone hop from rooftop to rooftop? A baseball field is a separate thing meant for enjoyment. You don’t have to play baseball. You need a sidewalk in order to get home at…

Neither of those examples, of course, are what we’re talking about. We’re talking about people claiming I can’t use a public sidewalk or have to pay get through a public space.

So...you think it’s OK for people to try and tell residents that they can’t use a public sidewalk or have to pay to get through?

Seriously.

You sound fun.

So what? It’s still a public space. It’s a sidewalk, not an outdoor theatre.

Having lived in NYC as well as having worked as a assistant director have made me an expert on grabbing grub from craft service tables as well as film set catering trucks. It doesn’t take much:

God I remember living in Hollywood in grad school and they closed my street to film a commercial at the building next door. Cop waves me past the barricade when I tell him I live on the block, and as I’m pulling into my garage some uppity PA starts yelling at me to turn around.

It’s true. The easy way to earn $300 in LA is wait until the filming crew in your neighborhood starts shooting, then decide it’s time to play your stereo loud with your windows open. They’ll send a harried location manager to shut you up, he’ll start by explaining “they have permits”, but once you counter “you may…

If nothing else, this post taught me that Kyle looks like Dr. Bunsen Honeydew.

This is the only good comment here.

I used to work at a DTLA location that did a ton of filming, if they are blocking any of your access to your building you can always asked to be paid, pretty much as an inconvienance fee, as the production companies don’t want you to call the city filming services complaining. Don’t be super greedy but you can safely…

Blogging is very difficult for Kyle.

I’ve been in a pickle like this before and find that doubling down is better than wussing out.

Adequately

Having worked in and around the hotel industry for a while now, I know you never have to go without breakfast.

Just walk into a Holiday Inn, or Candlewood, or whatever and start eating breakfast. Just don’t do it more than a day or two at the same place.

The desk staff rarely sees you go in, and they don’t know all…

a man in a hat stopped her and said, “Ma’am, you can’t go down that sidewalk, it’s for crew,”
