Tribute to Transformers!

White sands desert is the largest white sands deposit in the world. This means nothing to me, but a lot to movie production companies! Instead of filming movies on site over seas, they come to my little town of Alamogordo to shoot!

In the past 6 months there have more than three major films that have been shot in Alamogordo New Mexico (Who would have thought, right?!?!) We all got to meet Jack black for the one movie, and a couple of other big shot celebs.

I work at Chili's restaurant, and we get word of when new movies are going to be filming usually 6 months in advance. There are only two places to eat in this town, so this means that we are going to be packed and they like to be nice and for-warn us! We got word that they decided to make a transformers 2 a while back and were going to be coming at the end of the summer to start production! They did film transformers the original here about 2-3 years ago, and used the Air force Base along with the desert to film!

So for past three weeks transformers production crew and celebs have completely taking over our town! They have been taking over Niles' shop that he works on on base, using their equipment and what not, and also my work keeping us super busy and eating us out of food!

As a Curtice the crew opened up to the military and their families a display of the cars and auto-bots that are used in the film! I only know who bumblebee and optimus-prime are....so Ben and kyle you are going to have to help me with the other names of the cars!!! They did let us know that there are going to be 8 new transformers in this film and one of them is a 2011 corvette!!! But because they didn't want the secret to leak, we were not allowed to see those cars/auto-bots!!!

So this is for you Ben, kyle, and will!!!!! Hope you enjoy!!!
