On the Set

A crew from "Spiderman 3" are in town shooting, apparently needing a place that looks like the seedy underbelly of New York City at a fraction of the cost. I didn't remember until I walked up the street and saw a car parked in a no-parking zone with a hand-printed sign that said "StAnd-IN." Several buildings that had been empty were now occupied by an "I -heart- NY Souvenir Shop," a deli, and a couple clothing stores. Two buildings that are being renovated carried big banners advertising loft condos and luxury apartments. The old bank building on the corner of 9th and Euclid was renamed, and someone was telling extras where and how to walk. I crossed 9th when I found that the cars on the street at that intersection were all stopped in certain positions, the drivers waiting for the call to start their engines.

It was at that point that Scout, the Beagle, decided to contribute to the ambience and started her little circle dance to find the exactly right spot to defecate on the sidewalk. So, when you're watching Spiderman 3, the guy bending over picking up the shit off the sidewalk, hand in a white plastic bag, happens to be me. I couldn't find the fucking stand-in to do that for me.
