Today was day one of episode 401.  Really happy to be back.  When we shot the Neville Brothers' playing Louisiana 1927 last spring, I was with the B camera, on stage, right behind Aaron.  One of the best days of my entire career.

@vicwelle:disqus , there is actually one dude who spends a lot of time out on Bourbon asking for money, but his shit is ganky.  (@avclub-b6b76374607a353395fde55c9700defa:disqus 's got the big ticket there - I remember last year on Super Sunday, crossing Elysian Fields and sitting at a stop light and the excitement as…

I saw "The Book of Love" in there and immediately thought of "The Love Dare."

We were shooting a scene of Albert and another Indian Chief later in the season, and during rehearsals, it was kind of amazing, as they faced off, the other chief stepped to Clark and started spitting all of these crazy rhymes extolling his and his tribe's prowess.  Clark turns around to the director, on the verge of…

Are there epic flame wars on these boards that I'm missing?  Pretty much every week somebody shows up to troll the Treme reviews (just as you have here, and while yours is longer and a bit more detailed, it really isn't any different from any other complete with empty, misguided, confused, or just stupid arguments),…

For anybody in the New Orleans area, Tuesday is the beginning of the Treme's bicentennial celebration.  There are shows and block parties and a pub crawl and seminars and all sorts of ill shit.  I believe next Saturday there's what they're billing as the "Concert Under the Overpass," which is collecting pretty much…

I watched season one before I moved to New Orleans, I finished shooting season three before I started watching season two, and right now I'm catching up my roommate (the guy who turned me onto The Wire years ago) before he gets up to speed on what's going on now (we saw the season three premiere at a crew screening a…

The "half a loaf" thing was from his introduction at the cast and crew screening of the season three premiere on Saturday.  If anything, he was making the first public announcement of the renewal (the producers started calling folks about a week and a half ago, but this was the first time they said anything in…
