Did you end up in jail, like last time?

sock puppets have never successfully defended castles, except when working with squirrels, which would never happen because squirrels know better than to trust sock puppets, except when their nipples have magical powers. -nm

Please don't laugh at the creepy wig they are making me wear.

But yes…..WAY!!

I am still unsure what is cooler, being Brad Pitts double or Billy Beanes?

Much, much more to come later

I was eating dinner down the table from Royce Clayton, who is portraying Miggy in the movie, and Mike Rinetti, VP of Stadium Operations for the A’s. Rinetti thinks the A’s are going to add a bat at the deadline.

Last night was Philip Seymour, Jonah Hill and Brad might be there tonight

Royce Clayton is Miggy. The umpires are all former pro and college umps.

My dad had an audition to be an ump

Been doing High School/Junior College for close to 20 years. He was excited, but didn’t get the part. Interesting to hear that all the guys that got the parts are College/former pro.

Thanks Bendy!

I know, I lead a charmed life :)

Ok, gotta go. I have a 4:45pm call time, hair, makeup and wardrobe, then I am Brad Pitt!

That's so cool!

I hope we get lots of inside stories at the end of the week about hobnobbing with movie stars. ;)

I am documenting everything, in this much detail. LOTS more to come when we wrap


Here is a rack of Art Howe’s clothing in wardrobe.

OP you rock!

I was out there Mon Night and Wed Night and will be there next week for two days. The crowd is awesome because all of the die hards are coming out just like they would be at A’s games, especially on the overnight shoots.
