We filmed in a hotel last week that did not allow us to bring in any outside food. That meant no craft service (the department that provides everything but actual meals) the hotel instead would provide snacks. Well, we come to set the first day and it's teeny fancy soft drinks and Fiji water. We have only yogurt and granola bars to eat. This was bad. We all really missed Reagan and Sanford ( who were keeping busy playing cards in their truck). We came back the next day expecting more of the same instead it was worse. The deal wasn't negotiated properly and the hotel had charged us per drink/snack the day before as if we had ordered individually from the restaurant. In six hours we had run up a $3500 bill. Sanford feeds us for $400 a day. The answer? Don't have anything but water on set. We're working 12+ hours a day and the only food is at base camp which is outside the hotel and more than a block away (except of course for the contraband that will fit in our pockets and must be consumed quickly in dark corners). Awesome. Tomorrow is our last day there. Needless to say everyone will be especially appreciative of all Reagan and Sanford do for us. Time to get back to work boys.
