Looks like Hilary Swank and company will be shooting at the Sidetrack on Tuesday and Wednesday. Apparently, in the film, Swank’s character, Betty Anne Waters, puts herself through Law school by working at a bar called Adens Pub. So, for a few days, the Sidetrack will be Adens Pub, and the delightfully assed Ms. Swank will be either waiting tables or tending bar. As a regular at the Sidetrack, I expect to be asked to participate in some capacity, but, so far, there haven’t been any formal offers. (One just hopes that they didn’t take any offense at the whole Pencil Paparazzi thing.)

Mark, I’m sorry to report I’ve heard from reliable sources that they’ve alreadyfound an extra to play your role at the bar.
(This doubles as my I’m really sorry about your back and hope it gets better comment.)
Are you sure you want to do this, OEC?
Crap, will they be closed to normal people on those days?
No, you will not just be able to walk in off the street and have Hilary Swank serve you a beer.
God, is there anyplace else I can possibly find an $8.00 hamburger?
The city has put up tons of signs, no parking in 1/2 of Depot town while they are filming. I wonder if they will close off the whole street?
Here’s what I know on the filming
Filming on Tuesday and Wednesday, March 31st and April 1
Sidetrack closed
River St closed from Photo to E Cross on both days
through traffic detour River to Photo to Ninde to Cross
Cross St closed “intermittently” for short intervals between Ninde and River on Wednesday
Sidetrack and Old Depot parking lots closed on both days
Frog Island parking lot to be used as staging area for film trucks, etc

$9 hamburgers are also at Casey’s on Depot in AA. you can have that and a beer and only drop $20 on your lunch. If you do not tip.
