Archives: What’s Happening in HTG Town

by Ste300

This week saw the opening of a new place for Hollywood residents to go and eat at. I have never been to one of them, and Blacksmith tells us all about his new place ‘The Hype Diner’. From what I have seen they are currently being visited by the likes of Meryl Streep, David Cronenberg and Barry Sonnenfeld. I know of one person who has dined there.

FSKesslar was the first Hollywood to my knowledge to sample the food and look chat to the famous faces there, here’s what he said.

“The Hype is a lot of fun. I just dropped in for lunch, so I missed the entertainment, but I did spot Sam Neill hyping the pants off of Jurassic Park 4. I schmoozed it up with him for a while and we discussed the possibility of a part for him in my upcoming film Blackburn. All in all, I give The Hype a thumbs up.”

Seems to me a good place to dine, and others have commented on the experience. Even local owner of the Book And Brew ninjalibrarian said:

“Oh man! That milkshake was to DIE for!!”

With everything pointing toward the Hype Diner looking like a strong competitor in the race to fill our stomachs I shall be dining there soon. But first what did the owner Blacksmith have to say on his new diner? I caught up with him flipping burger down there.

Ste: Why did you decide to open a diner?

Blacksmith: When it was first suggested that offices could be used for restaurants, I got very excited, because that opened HTG town wide open to a whole era of development. I think that as time goes on, a lot of casting will be done at the clubs and restaurants and will encourage people to think outside the box when they have a film to cast and talent vouchers to use. And quite often, a producer gets a big name talent at a considerably reduced price, so in a lot of ways, it’s like the lottery. You never know what kind of deals are going to be made at these places!

Ste: Tell us why it’s called the ‘Hype Diner’

Blacksmith: Because Coming Soon Café didn’t have that pop I was looking for. Seriously, from the very beginning I envisioned a place that featured movie memorabilia and offered customers a chance to get excited about upcoming HTG releases. Besides the music and food, I wanted the Hype Diner to be the hip place for people to find out the next big movie coming from HTG.

Ste: What are you offering that your rival restaurants aren’t?

Blacksmith: At the Hype Diner, we offer the best burgers in town, as well as milkshakes that bring in customers from all over the world! But the most unique feature of the diner is the ability for Studios and Producers to use the Diner’s facilities to advertise and gain buzz for upcoming films and television shows. The Diner offers customized ads and even merchandise that can be used to generate your project into a smash hit.

Ste: And finally, How much is it to Dine there?

Currently the cost is $3 million, but occasionally we’ll offer special deals and prices, so keep an eye out!

Well, I get a free visit there courtesy of Marlowe later, which should be fun. I’m hoping I don’t bump into William Shatner or Chuck Norris though.

Ste, over and out!
