We were originally going to meet at the MET, but she suggested the Brooklyn Museum as they have a large Ancient Egypt collection as well. It ended up being the best idea, because there were no crowds, and the museum is exquisite.

After filling our brains we walked to a lovely Mexican restaurant and ate and chatted. In the time we had been eating, the streets outside changed dramatically!
We had gone part of a block and I started to pay attention to the equipment being pushed on carts up the street, and then noticed large lights with gels on them, and realized that we were walking through what would be a filming set. After stopping to quiz a young man we found out that it is filming for a Netflix show called Tr.
The fun thing was that this young man was not entirely sure, because it was his first day. He would be working on special effects, and explained how you just come and do what you are told to do, and the goal is to work until you can join the union. He had to ask around to find out what network the show would be on, and I can't find anything online about it yet, so keep your eyes open! Because I love knowing how things work behind the scenes, if I had been alone I would have totally figured out a way to just hang out and watch how things unfolded in front of me. I don't care about seeing the actors or stars. It was about watching a show being filmed, watching the orchestration behind the camera, the people working the lights, the whole thing. THAT would have been quite fun!
Today, I don't know what is on the books. Josh just ran out for coffee and bagels (his first solo excursion) while I finish this up and get dressed. No matter what, it is going to be a good day!
