It's a public event, so anyone can go. There's a registration web page to get tickets. I'm sure I'm on the Donate Life America mailing list now, but they are a worthy organization so I don't mind. And I'm already an organ donor.
And it would, indeed, be the COOLEST thing to see Alex. If he's there, I just pray that my hands aren't trembling so hard I can't hold the camera still to take pics!
We've known for a while now that CBS would have to re-shoot some scenes from CBS's Pittsburgh-set "Three Rivers," and now comes word from the L.A. Times that plans are afoot to re-shoot all the scenes filmed at the closed Brownsville Tri-County Hospital.
It's actually not that surprising. They were going to have to film a lot of new material because of re-casting issues, so why wouldn't they re-shoot all the hospital stuff to make it match? We already knew they'd be building a hospital set in Los Angeles at Paramount studios because they're not filming episodes beyond the pilot in Pittsburgh. It seems like the Times is making a mountain out of a molehill (They also get the show's cast wrong: Joaquim de Almeida was in the pilot but won't be in the series.)
So far indications are other scenes shot in Pittsburgh will remain in the pilot. And I suspect some scenes shot at the David L. Lawrence Convention Center that are supposed to take place in the hospital will also be kept. The look of those scenes didn't really match the blah Brownsville interiors anyway. I would guess that whatever hospital set they build in Hollywood will look more like the more modern convention center interior and less like Brownsville.

Now that's a true friend. With no ulterior motives of her own!
Lisa, great news for a article to be about TR in Chicago, but phhhht (did I do that right), knew it was coming but really bummed most or all of show will be filmed in LA.

The article is about the filming being moved from Pittsburgh to L.A.--which I know has been mentioned before, but there was something so cool about seeing it in print in my paper that just thrilled me!
Don't know if it's been mentioned before, but they are adding recurring characters--specialsts and a social worker. One of them will probably be a love interest for Dr. Andy. As a former social worker, I am pulling for that gal to be the one who hooks him!
