The following message has been forwarded to various neighborhood email lists by DDOT spokesperson Karyn LeBlanc.

Please be advised CBS Paramount will be filming for a television pilot titled “Washington Field” in the District for one day on Wednesday, March 25, 2009. This is a new television series about the elite Washington field office of the FBI and a team of agents with exceptional and diverse skills who are called together for only the most critical cases.

The first shot they will be shooting in the District takes place on the Potomac River just north of the Key Bridge and Jack’s Boathouse (K / Water Street, NW under the Whitehurst Freeway). In the scene, there will be six (6) sculling boats on the Potomac River and one of them blows up. The special effect simulating the explosion will occur on Wednesday March 25th between 9:30am and 12:00pm (noon).

NOTE: It will NOT blow the boat into a million little pieces. Instead there will be a 20′ to 30′ high fire ball that will last approximately two (2) seconds. All material will be vaporized and there may be a small plume of smoke. The sound will be a low thud; not a loud bang.

This is the view from my desk — hopefully I get to see some pyrotechnics:

and…

and finally…

Funny comment from Teague after the game:
“Everything we do is competitive,” Teague said. “Even when it comes to talking about who has the prettiest girlfriend and things like that. We just have a competitive group of guys.”

In other news, Duke lost to UNC, so Wake locks up the #2 seed for the ACC tourney. Bracket:

Arlington: 3.2%
Alexandria: 3.4%
Anne Arundel County, MD: 4.8%
Manhattan, NY: 6.5%
Michigan is already bad, some counties in access of 20%. This will only get worse once GM is allowed to die.
Florida, California have moderate/high rates (7-10%) for most of their counties.

I think DC area will stay strong as the Gov’t rapidly expands. At least I hope so. Although it means housing prices are slow to come down to levels normal responsible people can afford.

Oh yeah, Wake beat MD to stay firmly in 3rd in the ACC… need a Duke loss to move up to the crucial 2 spot.
