from TheDuke333

I drove down to the san fernando valley at about 1:30pm from where i live. It is about a 30 minute drive, but the last thing i wanted was to get stuck in our lovely LA traffic and be late. Well i got there right about 2pm. I pulled into the parking lot and the first thing I see on a door is a handwritten sign that says SERENITY OFFICE and a arrow pointing towards the back. Oddly that right there was pretty neat to see. So I pull into a slot and thought, well I can sit here for 30 minutes, or i can go in and see if they need me now. I walked into the office and asked to speak to Dana. She approached the counter and i introduced myself and explained why I was a little early, and that I would be more than happy to hang out in my car until 2:30pm.

She would have none of that and was actually waiting for me. I followed here around a corner which opened into a huge warehouse that had tons of costumes on racks. As i followed her I noticed that we were following a path that was created by direction arrows on the ground. It curved around into a corner of the warehouse where i was to change into my costume. She left me and I changed into a really cool costume. She came back and got me and asked me to follow her outside. Once outside she asked me to hold a sign that had my name on it. She took a close up picture of my face, then of my whole body, and then lastly a side shot. She then asked me to go back into the dressing area and change back into my clothes. She didnt follow me back i simply followed the arrows (I guess that is excatly why they were there) I didnt hurry. it was just so interesting passing Hawiian shirts and western type of clothes...:)

Once i changed back into my clothes i approached the front of the store again and she had me fill out some paperwork that looked like a time sheet, or release of libilty stuff. She left while i filled that out and came back shorthly later with my costume and put it on a rack next to me. Above the rack was a sign that said a local Dry Cleaners name. I finished filling out the paperwork and turned to hand it to her but she was gone. So i politely stayed put and waited for her to return. As I was waiting i couldnt help but look at my Costume again hanging on that rack. Not three costumes down was a Heavy Brown Duster jacket!!!! I wonder whos that was!!!

Well i think that is all unfortunately i can say. OOOHHHHH there was so much more, but i'm positive they would pretty unhappy with me if i shared. Once I pried my eyes away from that jacket I noticed Dana was just sitting at a desk not far away. So i approached her to verify I filled out the information correctly, and she looked up from a picture of Kaylee she was working on ( pretty cool) she looked it over and gave me my copy and thanked me for my time.

I floated back to my car and somehow drove 30 minutes back in my hazey state. It was too cool. Now i am waiting until tomorrow when Sasha will call me again and give me the details on where the filming will be on Friday.

I will update again...

Still flying....
