Man o man we are getting slammed with the film crews these days. On Wednesday once again we had a show filming at the shop. This was for a new show for Fox called New Amsterdam about this guy John Amsterdam (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) who comes to New York in 1642 saves some girl who makes him immortal but he can't leave the island of Manhattan and is now a homicide detective. The story of the Fun City Scene is that he is investigating a tattoo artist. I got to play the part of the tattooer in the background (again with the typecasting). The best part of these shoots is that inevitably some of the extras are friends from the neighborhood.  This time Courtney (thats Jeannie Nitro of the dark n'durty  girls to you) was sitting in the chair getting fake tattooed. Dragonfly was my fake customer and the shop was filled with fake smoke and a rather large group of people crammed behind a camera.  Such a long day my nice customer was SOOO patient considering it set us back 3 hours (thanksJill !) And I apologize for being a royal pain in the ass to all my neighbors I'm going to have to be more picky about who gets to roll in  for this stuff from now on, It used to be an exciting departure from business as usual , but these days the filming is the business as usual

Rollover the image to see the crew outside.

I like how you did the rollover. Do they at least feed you guys. Most film crews have great lunches catered.
