Yes, but is there a part for Alan Autry?
I am always the last to know things.
And it has happened again - I am the last to hear that the Greatest Thing Ever in Fresno History™ is happening today at the Chandler Airport. I'm speaking, of course, about filming for the new Indiana Jones movie, Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull, which is taking place in Fresno TODAY.
ABC30 had a little segment on this momentous occasion two nights ago, which you can watch here (if you can handle the way Maureen Naylor pronounces "skull").
I can't begin to tell you how excited I am about this. I'm really trying to play it cool, but seriously, Indiana Jones movies are huge in my family. As kids, my brother and I took turns wearing a brown fedora and jumping on the furniture with our mom's rolled up jump rope (the whip - get it?) tied to our belts. When we go to Disneyland, one of the only rides my mom will go on is the Indiana Jones ride. We. Love. This.
Unfortunately, where I work, an Indiana Jones film is not considered the Greatest Thing Ever in Fresno History™, so my plan to spend all day at Chandler Airport is not going to happen. I am relying on you, the people of Fresno, to go out there and bring back knowledge. Bring back evidence! Bring back Harrison Ford if you can! A stunt double will do!


Comments:
As of 11:00 am not much seems to be occurring at the Airport. There were several people dressed in a manner I may only classify as Andean hill people gathered under a large tent. My attempt at gaining access further into the airport was sadly foiled by Fresno's Finest.

Did Maureen Naylor say Crystal Skoal? Didn't Harrison Ford also star in another semi-famous movie with a character named CHEWTOBBACA.
Something weird goin on here.
