Pictures and fun from Letterman!
Only got some pictures outside the Theatre...they're very strict about EVERYTHING in there. They even made us turn off our cell phones. Like completely off.
However, it was a very fun experience!! The house band (led by Paul Shaffer) was awesome and Letterman was hilarious. They really try to give the audience a good time, especially during the commercial breaks. Amanda Peet, John Hamm from "Mad Men", and Augustana were the guests. All in all, it was a very fun and interesting experience--I would highly recommend it to anyone who has the chance!

Lucy and I infront of the theatre waiting to be let into the VIP area...
Letterman today!!
Working for a major network has its perks! One of our producers hooked us up with tickets to see Letterman. I'm leaving to head over to the Ed Sullivan Theater in about 45 mintues...But more on that later.
The last couple of days have been good, but slow at work.
Sunday night, at my weekly Fox 5 Sports visit, Joe--the editor ive been working with--told me how much he had enjoyed working with me, even for such a short time. Its always good to know your help (no matter how small) is appreciated. I now really feel that going to Fox 5 once a week has been a good choice in the long run--Joe is a great contact for me. He really thinks I have a chance to do whatever I want to do--that I have a good work ethic and drive. He said I could always come back to work at Fox 5 after I graduate. That's pretty reassuring!!...I guess we'll see.
Yesterday, I worked on a pretty cool photo essay for a good part of the day. "Extreme Living" around the country. Some pretty crazy houses featured on HGTV.

Friday...again.
So I guess I should have a lot to report on, since I haven't gotten around to posting anything this week. Surprisingly, I've been very busy--but I unfortunately don't have much to show for it on here!
First of all...there have been a lot of smaller stories to keep up with this week! "The Dark Knight" premiere was Tuesday. We've been covering the buzz surrounding that this week.
We had a workshop on Wednesday--Susan Zirinsky the executive producer of "48 Hours"--who I mentioned in a previous post about the meetings I attend in her office. She's a pretty big deal...and has climbed up the ranks at CBS since she was an assistant answering phones. Hearing her talk was pretty reassuring that you CAN get to the top if you have enough drive.
Yesterday, we were a little short handed. I spent the entire day doing stories for the site. Typing for 8 hours straight is not fun at all! But, they do appreciate the extra help all the interns put in, so hopefully that will pay off in the future. :)
Other than work, I've just been exploring the city!--Enjoying my last few weeks...

Finally The Weekend!
Started working on an original package today! It's not terribly exciting, but hey--it's something! :) Should be finished sometime early next week.
Pictures
Just thought I'd add these...we had a little fun yesterday :)
Amy and I with two of our producers Melissa and Judy. Judy suggested we take a picture with our Early Show weather guy Dave Price--or atleast with a larger than life version of him on the Early Show RV...

A Package In The Works?
Today I was finally able to get my hands on a camera (and not my digital one)! Amanda, the intern that works for CBS Mobile, was assigned to go film at the National Texting Championship to get some footage. She is a business student and therefore has never been taught to use a DV Cam. The poor girl was a bit stressed out to say the least. That's where I came in...
LG actually has a national contest for text messaging--and the winner gets $50,000. It was very strange. LG even paid people to come "cheer on" the contestants. We interviewed a few people and got some cool b-roll with good NATS.
I've been itching to get my hands on a camera to go out and get some footage (AND a story) that I could actually put together in a package for myself (and to possibly go on the website). Hopefully I will be able to work on it most of the day tomorrow and have a package produced completely by me to add to this journal...and to my resume tape. :)
I may also have a story on Yankee Stadium in the works too...
Let's hope. :)

:-D
My editor at Fox 5 Sports Extra (my Sunday night internship) said my Jasper Brinkley piece I did for 434 was NY1 ready!!!!!!!
NY1 is the city's only 24-hour news channel. It's actually pretty cool--like a local CNN.
:-D Maybe I can get somewhere in this field afterall...

Paparazzi
Today is the last day of the work week since the 4th of July is tomorrow!!!! It's actually been a little crazy today. One of my producers, Judy, got wind that Gossip Girl (a show on the CW) was taping down the street. She sent me out with my camera to see if I could spot some of the cast.
I unfortunately didn't get any pictures of the "famous" people. But I did sneak my way on set far enough to get pictures inside of where they were filming--until they asked me to leave. Haha...I definitely know now I don't want to be a photo journalist. AHH! Very nervewracking.
Here are a couple of the shots I did get:
Happy 4th!!!! :-D

Here are a couple of the shots I did get:
They blocked off 58th Street and 9th Avenue so they could park all of the production trucks:
They filmed scenes in the Library inside the GORGEOUS Hudson Hotel near Columbus Circle...
That's pretty much all my excitement for Today...except for FINALLY getting 4 weeks worth of our ($10 a day) Stipend checks. 160 DOLLARS!!! YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS. <--(Being really sarcastic. haha)
Yay! We're on the CBS News Payroll--and hopefully not for the last time...
Happy 4th!!!! :-D

I finally met KATIE!!!!!
Yep, It's true. I had the chance to go next door to the Evening News yesterday to watch Katie Couric film her "notebook" segments. Amy and I stood off to the side of the anchor desk so we could watch her read the prompter and see the producers. Katie turned to us and said "Hey girls, are you our interns?" She then asked us where we went to school, to which I obviously said "South Carolina". This is my favorite part...Katie responds: "Ohhhhhh...the GAMECOCKS!!!" haha...I was like "YESSSS!" It's very rare to find anyone up here that is at all enthusiastic about my Gamecocks...let alone Katie Couric! We then continued to chat...she mentioned that she went to UVA and remembered being an intern, and that she hoped we were having a good time here at CBS. Very, very exciting!!!!
I watched this as it happened:
