Native Fry Bread - At the Arclight, More Private Practice ephemera, Another Prop Girlfriend and Liza Weil (Paris of the Gilmore Girls tv show)

Fry Bread is a Native American speciality food. I was most surprised to see this food truck parked on Sunset Blvd., directly in front of the ArcLight movie theater.

The sign reads: Please be advised - Bricks and Scones from 3pm will be closed on the following date(s) - Friday April 8, for the filming of the television show entitled: "Private Practice". We apologize for any inconvenience.

Entitled - really?

If you click to enlarge this photo on the right, you will see orange traffic cones from the place where the camera was to the corner at Rosewood Avenue. This is a distance of about 300 or more feet. Private Practice was filming at Bricks & Scones (of which I have posted at this blog) and the production trucks fill all of the west side of Larchmont Blvd. and on Rosewood from Larchmont to Lucerne. That's lots of trucks, etc.

Another PROP girlfriend - not Liza

One of these days, I'm gonna get lucky with one of these gals. However, just as an aside, I saw Liza Weil (Paris on the Gilmore Girls) on Larchmont a few days ago. I recognized her and said: "Is your name Liza?" To which she responded by stopping and asking "Yes, how do I know you?" and I replied "I'm just a fan of Gilmore". She started to depart when I asked if I could take her photo, holding my camera up in my hand, so she could see I was ready and would not unduely take her time. But she had her infant in a sling on her front and declined, saying she didn't want photos of the kid. Which, I respected. With regret, audience, I have no photo of her.

If I see Miss Weil on the Boulevard again, I'll see if she will oblige the readers of The Hollywood Rounder.

Private Practice (at Girasole on Larchmont Blvd.)

FilmLA Permit Notice

This is the type of "notice" you see on the streets of Hollywood, whenever a shoot takes place in public. The production company, in this instance ABC Studios, must pay a fee to use the public street or in this case sidewalk. Also, the restaurant Girasole, will be used as a set for some food business at Private Practice (stars Kate Walsh).  As the restaurant must close for this, it too receives lots of bucks to close and turn it's customers away for a day.


I don't much want to tell you about Girasole. It's my favorite Italian restaurant in LA. Ernani, the owner is Italian and he goes out of his way to get fresh water buffalo mozzarella, every day. And the sausages are made only for the restaurant.

The place gets crowded enough for real. I will have to wait on-line like all the other customers if the show makes this place even more popular.


Here are the prop ferns. If you click the picture, the blue tape has the name: Private Practice.
These are rented and will go back to their gardener or what-ever.

Set Decorator

The set decorator and some crew mull over how to make things "pretty".

Grips (electricians)

No, these are not hoodlums looking to rough up some of the actors. They are electricians or as they are known in the trade: grips.

Prop Booze

This is real fake booze. Or maybe fake real booze. Either way Ms. Walsh

-- Bottoms UP!
