Trauma TV Series Episode 7 Filmed Today in SF

Yes, I actually dug out my digital Canon camera and wandered down south of Market to Folsom at 12th to watch the filming of the 7th episode of that new and exciting crime drama Trauma, which if it survives the next 12 episodes, might be the next San Francisco TV series to film in my favorite city. There were many lovely sights, long delays, confused young Asian security guards, a crashed ambulance, a helicopter hauled away on a flatbed, a bus crashed into a taxi, lots of bored extras sweating in the sun, phoney cops and fireman going through the paces at a snail pace, Frommer's guide somewhere across the closed intersection, the food trucks over on 11th, and me and Marael taking it all in, talking about Moon Publications, the state of travel writing, crying on each other's shoulders.

You get the idea. A fine afternoon. Crashed helicopters and poor corpses wrapped up under the hot klieg lights.

I really should take my camera around town on my various excursions. Might add the personal touch to this otherwise newsy blog.
