Sunday in New York

Another appearance on Fox and Friends…a bit more low key than the last one. I hung out in the green room before the segment, and had a chance to chat with the hosts before we went on. One of them was Alisyn Camerota, who did a story about my efforts on the 911 Email project back in 2001, and Julian Philips, who interviewed me last time I was on Fox and Friends. So it felt pretty relaxing. It was a bit strange being interviewed by three people—I didn’t know who to look at!! Media critic Marilyn Rea Beyer said it went well, though, so that’s all that counts.

One of the hosts asked about my Ghost Army button and I gave them a pitch on the film, directing them to check the website.

After leaving the studio, I got to see some of the Spiderman 3 filming on 6th Avenue. (Five blocks of 6th Avenue, 7th Avenue and Broadway were closed to traffic over the weekend for the filming.) This is a not-so-great picture picture from my cellphone.

Just before I took this shot, Spiderman and a woman (stunt people I assume) were suspended from the crane about 8 stories up. In about the blink of an eye they slid them down a cable to the ground. It’s cool to see that they still go out and film sequences like this, that it isn’t all blue screen and animation.

The area around the building was all dressed as if there had been an explosion or some kind of building collapse. The picture below, which someone else took, captures it pretty well.

Now I can't wait to see the movie!
