The poster who says he's a crew member on PE (herenotthere ) has posted on imdb that they filmed last night/ this morning at Indiana Dunes State Park at Lake Michigan. AND that they will now have a "few days off before we hit some more important dramatic stuff next week." Here is a link to the park's site, it's gorgeous and could be a scene between Billie and John at Lake Michigan or I can't help but wonder if it could be a "stand in" for Florida? http://www.duneland.com/parks/idsp.htm The pics on this site are gorgeous!



As a disclaimer: I tend to believe this guy, he's been pretty spot on so far, but there's always the possibility that he's feeding us all "a line" so I guess we all have to make our own judgements about any info out there. ;)

I read that somewhere else,too, so maybe it could be a stand in for Florida. Since Johnny's birthday is Monday, maybe that would coincide with the "few days off" he posted. Also, isn't the Donleavy event on 6/11?

Donna, I also saw the Indiana Dunes mentioned on the ChicagoHollywood forum.
Yup, the JPD event at the Dublin Book Festival is June 11, he speaks at 8pm their time.

Forgive me i'm new here.If this is out of line sorry.
In herestoyou's post she mentions how johnny posted about having a few days off
where does he post such info,Does he do blogs?

Thanks,

The "he" we are both referring to is the poster on imdb that goes by "herenotthere." He says he's acrew member on PE. While we know from Johnny's press junket interviews for Sweeney Todd that he knows about and visits occasionally some fan sites, we don't, to the best of our knowledge, know if he posts. I doubt it.

Thanks for clearing that up for me. :thumbsup

I found this little article about the Dunes filming.

The pictures of the Dumes State Park are beautiful, looks like a great place to visit
Does anyone know what the temperature of the lake water would be this time of year ?
Thanks for the pictures

:thanks Holly for the link--guess this confirms that Johnny was indeed involved with this scene. The guy just amazes me how he meets those waiting even after filming all night---love ya Johnny! :)

Thanks Holly, that was a great one! He's so sweet to us fans.

To answer your question, the Great Lakes never are overly warm, even in the summer. It depends on the air temperature of course.

Today the air temp in Chicago will be 84, Lake Michigan is expected to be about 63 degrees. Lake Michigan is probably one of the warmer of the Great Lakes.

And that's an update from your weather woman. :D

PS the lake is about 1/4 mile from where I am sitting right now. I could see it if I walked outside. :lol:

Thanks so much for answering my question. It sounds lovely to me.

Here's Johnny being amazing again:
