Walking Dead fans? A random run in

[BAMFMrsB]

I took off last Friday to prep for my son's birthday party on Saturday and clean house. I ran out to lunch with the family who all happened to be free that day. We ate at a small spot on the very northside of ATL/suburbs.

So as I'm leaving the restaurant, I offer to go get the car, as we have grandma, and for some reason the handicapped spots are all a ways away from the front door. Another table is also leaving and I am blocked in by the dad and mom getting mints and toothpicks. I step back and wait as they exit the front door and their older son holds the door for me. I look in his eyes to acknowledge that he held the door for me, and I realize I KNOW him. And I know exactly 2 teeneage boys IRL, so I'm trying to figure out who he is while I'm walking to the car and it hits me.

GET BACK IN THE HOUSE, CARL.



He is a super skinny, totally normal looking 14ish year old kid. But WOW, he has some Paul Newman blue eyes. He looked exactly like the above pic on Friday, turquoise (polo) shirt and all.

FWIW, I posted the encounter on FB and said "but why would Carl be in 'northern suburb'? Kinda odd, huh?" and a 6* of separation FB friend told me he lives in her neighborhood, and yes it is exactly in the locale where we had lunch.

So that was my Walking Dead run in!

LOL forever at the picture and title above. Carl! Such a douchebag on the show, but glad to know he is well mannered in real life!

Creepy Carl! My BFF and I love to hate him (the character). I got her a Carl action figure for her bday and she exchanged him for Daryl

[cheeseandcrackers]

that's awesome! you think he ever has zombie nightmares?

[nahoku]

scm1011 - not at all, haha. I wanted to get her a Daryl one but they were like $50+! I figured if I couldn't get her favorite, why not get her least favorite? That's how we roll

[adhdfashion]

So cool!

[btay]

that is awesome! I hate Carl but I'm happy to hear the actor is still a well mannered kid

[pinkeggs]

*squee*! Hopefully the fact that he's home means he was killed off lol

Nice to hear he is a gentleman though

[pinkeggs]

Also, I have just informed my sister that I need a Glenn action figure. I didn't know these existed, but I have a bare shelf with their names on it.

This is much cooler than my seeing Victor (the adopted kid on Parenthood) at my local Farmers Market last Thursday. LOL.

[themysteriouswife]

I live in Kennesaw. Is he near me? That is really awesome. I saw Glen shopping in Alpharetta.

[kwx2]

lol. Obviously he wasn't in the house!

Not to burst your bubble, but don't they film the show in Georgia?

Yes. Different neighborhood. Very nearby.

Someone posted a while back on my FB feed they saw Glen having a coffee near Oakland Cemetery (coffee shop nearby - dunno the name)

Yes, they do.  LOL



OP, I love your story.  Perfect!  

[ZoeHart]

They do film in GA.

I probably wouldn't have been able to resist the urge to yell CARRRLLLL in my best Rick voice. You can't take me anywhere.

Yep, usually on the Southside of ATL - it's a lot less populated down thar. (truly!)

They filmed the "CDC" at the Cobb Energy Center, when we used to live in an apartment extremely nearby. DH stayed home late one morning and watched them film a scene that would have started Season 2, but it ended up being cut out. Remember how they never really showed the group getting out? Just Carol producing the grenade and then, nada?

[CloudBee]

That's awesome!

I watched a little documentary last week; kind of a behind the scenes thing.  It was pretty fascinating how they make so many scenes/places out of a small area where they film.  It showed where the prison used to be, etc.  One of the producers said that the local police were fielding TONS of calls from people complaining about something going on at a prison, but all the cops were like, "Uh, there is no prison in that area, WTF."  LOL  They fooled the locals!

[pittsmcgee]

I'm so jealous!

[pinkeggs]

Ah, for some reason I thought they had switched locations. I am extremely worried that Steve Yeun is filming a movie right now lol

I'm going to think for awhile if I am going to click on that or not. I'll get back to you. lol

ETA: Oh, OK. Yeah, I knew that. But considering there is no Daryl even in the novel, I try and take a lot of their stuff with a grain of salt Also, I love Glenn and Maggie so much and I know that odds of them both making it through this season are probably not good. *whimper*

Awesome! My bro found one of his live streams. He was playing Call of Duty or something with like 6 friends and he had some pretty cool disco lights on in the background. I kept expecting for his friends to say "Caaarrrllll!"
