So the posted signs said No Parking due to filming from 9AM-10PM, and I saw the trailers begin to arrive around 11AM so I figured shooting wouldn't begin until the afternoon with the cast being called in just after lunch.
I had a client meeting in the upstairs lobby of the Thompson LES and was totally caught off-guard when, walking out, I noticed a pretty blonde having a snack/drink on balcony. She was with a friend and was mid-laugh when we looked each other right in the eye and at first I didn't realize who it was and then was like oh my god Blake Lively.
From there I met up with Michelle, who like me was very interested in unabashedly stalking the Gossip Girl cast.
We downed some pints at a neighborhood bar.
Then did a walk around the block.
Nothing.
Then...we spotted a bar with a window seat overlooking the trailers. Perrrrfect.
We downed more happy hour beers until finally we saw the paparazzi on the move.
We scurried across the street and I was so distracted by the flurry of scary paparazzos going after Leighton Meester that I complete missed Penn Badgeley walking several meters in front of her and literally rubbed shoulders with him as he walked into his trailer.
I got a shot of Leighton as she walked toward us though.
And another as she passed.
Sorry it is so blurry. I was trying to be incognito and hiding my camera because I still plan on being best friends with her sometime soon!
