Oh, Matty does pictures no problem, he also does hugs :P And smells sooooooo good, lol. But so does Tim and Willie :D I've been meaning to do some LJ posts with a bunch of pics from 3 years but it's literally thousands of pics to sort *headdesk* There was always a bunch of us doing these trips together and in 3 years we got to meet the cast but also the wonderful crew of White Collar, we were able to visit the studio and invade Neal's apartment and Peter's house... we saw some live shooting in the studio and on the streets of NYC... and of course we went all around New York finding the most important locations, LOL.

I added you as a friend so that you can at least check out my pics from last year: http://kanarek13.livejournal.com/29266.html and there if you just use the navigation links at the top and click NEXT, there's also pics from day 3 and day 4-6 and a final small treat :D I don't have any pics posted of me and Matty yet but they will be included in my upcoming squee posts :P

I finally took the time and looked through all your pictures, they are awesome! You got really close. Must be great that they allow people so close and that apparently you all behaved well so shooting was still possible.

How does one end up in a studio though? ;) And the apartment even! Now I am really jealous. I love that apartment. I even drew the groundplan on my computer at work (it's what I do for a living), because I love it so much. And I was trying to figure out where things were. It's interesting when you look for hints, as my friend would not want to believe me that once I saw a TV set there next to the easel. I could prove it with a screenshot though.

And that table next to the entrance got moved around a lot.

Anyway, tell me anything you can about the apartment ;) Obviously, it's just a set. Yet it seems to have all four walls and they were shooting from all angles. How do they do that? Maybe the walls are moveable? And once in a while they would go down the stairs in the house, like when Neal did that dancing routine. Is that all studio as well? It looked so real.

And how does one find shooting on locations? I know there used to be a website that had them all listed, but I think after 9/11 the Americans got more careful. I know that in Cardiff, with Doctor Who or Sherlock, there are little signs to follow.

I feel a bit bad that you now have to put up with all my Star Trek action figure pictures at the moment, after having friended me ;) If you want to defriend again, that's fine. Thanks for showing me your pics.

Oh, I also read the fanfiction that started all this conversation. And I really loved it! When I said I don't like kidfic I meant when toddlers are all cute and talking weird. But this was nice, as the boys were older, and some of their real personalities were shown.

I have one - no actual two, as there is a sequel - White Collar fics, not sure if you already saw them? One of those about "what happened to Neal after the kidnapping".

I will put together a folder with pics and I'll PM it to you along with a reply, hee :D

I shall say a big thank you from my friend as well! She loved it. She loved it so much that she plans a re-watch of the whole series LOL

Awesome, heee :D
