On Monday, Robbie got us the ultimate hook up. Rob has a friend who works for Lucasfilm, and we got a tour of the new facility in the Presidio. All I can say is...AWESOME! This facilty is where Lucasfilm, LucasArts, and ILM are all housed. We got to tour the grounds, see a ton of props from movies like Star Wars, Pirates of the Carribean, Ghostbusters, etc. There were matte paintings from Hook and Empire just hanging on the walls. This place was neat. We got to see the crew screening room theater, where Clone Wars was just shown to the staff last week. And finally, got to shop in the company store. We bought a few things from there. A Lucasfilm t-shirt, and then a bunch of items left over from Indy IV. T-shirts, hats, and a lunchbox that were only given out to crew on the set of the movie. The few that were leftover we sold at this store. Talk about owning something very few people can ever hold. I got a lunchbox from "DOOMTOWN, USA" which is the nuclear testing town from the movie. It says Indian Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull Crew on it. A nice piece for my collection. I kept hoping I would turn the corner and Geoge Lucas and Steven Speilberg would be walking around the corner, but alas, they never showed.
