Yeah, Probably Not The Best Time and Place To Film

It seems as if the producers of the upcoming HBO series based on the Washingtonienne book by Jessica Cutler decided that the pilot really needed some authenticity - the show's crew was spotted by several DCist readers and contributors while shooting scenes last night in Adams Morgan. Apparently, the crew blocked lanes of traffic on 18th Street and a significant portion of the sidewalk.

Well, look, I've never backed a large-scale dramedy for HBO (and far be it from me to judge the logistical genius of Sarah Jessica Parker), but this Districtonian would probably have to think for a long while before imagining a more painful location to shoot than in the heart of the 18th Street strip on a Saturday night. I mean, this couldn't wait until say, Tuesday night?

Word is that the newly-named actresses working the pilot were dressed classically. What, no flip-flops? Where's the Method, ladies?

Let us know in the comments if you were in Adams Morgan last night and managed to get on camera as an extra.
