This is my motley crew. I heart them all.

We ended the shoot at the University of Michigan. It was cool filming on campus and spending a little time in Ann Arbor.

Our first night there we shot in one of the large halls on the main campus. For lunch that night Messina Toland's (art director) family had prepared a really nice meal for us - meat and veggie tacos along with an assortment of other homemade goodies.

David, James and Justin Barber (1st AC) after the last shot. Such expressions! I interpret the one on David's face to be of total relief. Even little Cherie's head peaking out from behind James looks peaceful.

The last shot of the film was of the Scott character (played by Brett Jacobsen) walking down a hallway. As a joke, instead of Brett coming around the corner, Doug Diedrich (the actor playing Steven) walked out arm in arm with the actresses playing Ana and Ady Abbey. It was a high note to end on, and if there's a Myth of the American Sleepover Bloopers and Outtakes feature on the DVD, I'm sure that shot will end up there.

Waiting for daylight.

It was the last shot of the day, and James made us wait an eternity for the light to be right. We were forced to deliriously watched a spectacular sunrise from a top one of Detroit's many abandoned structures.

Me and Cherie hanging out on set - literally. In the shot just before I think there had been a couple of extras sitting on the old bench seat making out. Cherie and I are a bit more modest.

I'm starting to show my exhaustion a little. This is about half way through the shoot. By the cast photo taken at wrap I will look pretty much dead. Cherie never gets tired.
