On the Set: Sean Penn is Harvey Milk

This was the scene tonight in the Castro with hundreds of extras helping to make movie magic. If you've signed up to be in this film on Friday, remember it's BYOC (Bring Your Own Candle).

Am I the only Castro resident who's sick and tired of the filming? They're really pissing me off.

Bah humbug. It was fantastic last night. There is such a buzz in the neighborhood. They will be gone soon enough.

I was glad to be a part of it last night, but man, that's a long night of hanging out for brief bursts of activity. I'm signed up for the candlelight vigil, and I don't think I'll go (but, you never can tell).

I wrote up my extra experience on my website.

I left after about an hour. It was cold even in my flannel clone outfit.

I asked a cop if the MUNI station was open and he answered, " how do I know?- I'm an actor."
