there was like one thing on all of these lists that I had heard of...and that was SNL. I am so outta the loop. but cupcake truck sounds bomb!
If you loved studio 60 you would totally love West Wing and Sports Nite, both by Aaron Sorkin.
Love you,
Dad
yeahhh cupcake truck is amazing emily! ha ha -- walla walla needs to have one! right next to the taco wagon!
also dad - sports nite? i probably would like west wing, but you know how much i don't care about sports, ha ha
Sports nite is more about making a show and really not alot about sports. We have the DVD sets for both of them so when you come home.....
love the recommendations... if i ever visit nh i'll know where to go...
