Drew Barrymore is in town...and life matters



Drew Barrymore took our Ken's Diner and turned it into THE OINK JOINT.
It was a diner of the 50's, most commonly used for the old cars cruise, next door to my girlfriend's bar she named Vets.
Quote:
We told you that a movie was being shot in Birch Run Township. It’s a film called “Whip It!” that was using what used to be Kens Diner as a location that had been remade into the “Oink Joint”.Local residents spent the day at the location watching the action and looking for stars. Their wait paid off. Rob Major of Vassar was one of those lucky spectators. He sent NBC25 an email telling us about getting to meet the film’s director Drew Barrymore.
Just how cool is that!
We was told......Even though this part is shot in Mid-Michigan, the movie is about a Texas girl who joins a roller derby league. The movie is based on the young adult novel Derby Girl, written by Shauna Cross. The movie is currently scheduled to be released in 2009.
My question is..just how in the hell did she find Ken's Diner!!!
And how can you make a movie look Texan in MICHIGAN!
I lived in both out west and now Michigan , there is a world of difference......trust me on this one.
Lets just see how this unfolds....
Life matters...
Sarah Palin…now there was a sweet surprise!!
I am a democrat by nature but I have to say that nothing is more appealing to me then a military man in uniform with strong women beside him.
