Great news to all the patient crew and cast out there: we have finally secured a location for Saturday night's shooting. Hurray! The fabulous friend of the production Jennifer Hayes has graciously lent her house for shooting scenes 7 and 9 Saturday night (starting at 8 PM). The street address is:

7491 Stacy Drive, Bellevue, TN (there will be an amber light that says 108)

Exact driving directions will follow tonight and I will discuss with the participating cast tonight or tomorrow. Now, I know this location is out of the way for some of you, and it may be unfamiliar territory. Here's what I propose...if enough of you are interested, I can rent a minivan tonight and have it ready for cast and crew transporation for the weekend. In fact, due to the somewhat unknown status of parking in the Franklin area at this point, I'd be happy to ferry whoever would like to come to my house in the morning, and we could all just drive as a group. A thought, perhaps? Let me know.

How are you all feeling? Nervous, excited, chewing your nails? I hope you ALL have a great time tomorrow -- it's really a rare honor to get to do something we all love, and I hope you take away a marvelous experience and warm memories. Myself, I feel great and just hope I don't puke. :)

Your American Bandstand,
Dimitri
