I try to talk to Friends writer Ira Ungerleider but he’s not into it. He suggests I go to the picket line captain and ask for the right persons to interview. He says the regular members of the WGA aren’t supposed to speak about the strike.
I leave the picket line and go talk to the captain. She says I should go back to the picket line and interview people at random.
I talk (video) to fellow Aussie Sarah Kelly. Last year she directed The Lather Effect.
Yesterday actor Hugh Laurie joined the picket line for a few minutes. Then he said, "I’ve got to go back in and betray you."
