Today's cuppa: diner coffee with great conversation
A few weeks ago, I cruised by the headquarters of CBS' multiple-Emmy-award winning (including this year) Sunday-night reality/adventure show "The Amazing Race," which is tucked anonymously among corporate office towers not far from LAX.
After an interview for a story pegged to the show's premiere, executive producer Bertrand Van Munster led a tour of the office, during which I took lots of pix of the equipment and show props tucked in here and there all over the open space. Here's a sampling:
Van Munster and the Travelocity gnome...
More gnomes ...
A costume ...
A wooden bicycle ...
A idol guy near the kitchen ...
Van Munster and two of his favorite things ...
The super-secret room where the whole thing is planned ...
A prop puzzle ...
And my perennial favorite -- the target moose (as of yet not used in the show, since it's so darned heavy) &, to the moose's right, a DaVinci inspired contraption whose purpose I can't remember ...
