She was the female Ze Frank and her style was a complete rip off of that. Nice that she's capitalized on it, but I could never much stand to watch it.

So that looked like maybe a studio location. You're not going to be a scab writer are you? Or is this just a sign of a bigger, better opportunity for your career?

Um, Brigitte, are you on the Warner Brother's lot? That looks like the backlot back where they shoot ER, but I could be wrong.

Well, I’m going to say California in that she passes several cars and the license plates, while whited out, are all white with black lettering. So that makes me think Cali since every other state insists on putting lame colors and/or pictures on their plates (Or slogans like North Carolina’s “First In Flight”. Woohoo, the last time anyone in your state did something cool was 1902. Way to go NC)
Plus there’s an abundance of green trees which isn’t something you find in most places, at least not in November (not to mention the fact that it looks hot and it’s been in the high 80s to low 90s in SoCal this week)
Moving along, the cart background has stylized lamps, windows, etc… plus she has a badge on which says to me Theme park or Back lot (also right before she gets to the white van there’s clearly a tour cart passing by). I’m going to guess backlot because (a) the first two buildings she passes (the ones that form a corner) are really close together with tubing that wouldn’t be legal on an actual building and (b) what appears to be the front of those buildings is very stylish (something you don’t see in the real work a lot)
Then we get the most obvious clue which is overhead train tracks. Followed by the second most obvious clue which is a truck full of stage flats going by (for those that don’t know flats are just fake walls that are used in stage construction because they are easily reconfigurable).
So in conclusion…I have no idea what the #@$% going on (or what any of it has to do with Halogen for that matter)
Though I have to say erik’s guess is probably as good as I can come up with. The train part does look the WB lot and if you look at the tour cart as it pulls away there’s a black dot on the back of it. The tour carts on the Warner Bros. backlot have a black and white WB symbol on the back of their carts which would look just like that on a blurry web video.

Brigitte,
Welcome to Burbank! Good timing in coming to LA with our unseasonably warm weather and also... Fan Day* today on behalf of the WGA. (I wonder if John Edwards showed up after all? Besides the BSG fans who were in attendance at a local con.)
Your visit is not related to any of the above, is it? Well, you'll tell us if/when you tell us.
Don't forget to say hi to the Warner bros & sis at the water tower, and be careful when crossing picket lines!**

Well I have no way of knowing whether these stories came out Thursday or today. So I'm going to take Brigitte at her word and assume she actually did make this video today.

Super Random Friday Comment:
In 2004, Merriam-Webster's dictionary users named "defenestration" as one of their favorite words of the year.

@Ganesh - Reading your comment makes me like i just walked into a chatroom where a dumbass is running his mouth.
No, no, I kid... (except that I don't, your a dumbass)
Anywho, the point is this, when someone obviously makes a mystery of where they are and draws your attention to clues as to where they are its perfectly socially acceptable to then try to guess where they are.

Super Random – My Blackberry is white.
Since there was no vlog yesterday, to get my muse fix, I read some of Brigitte’s oldest blog entries. Here are some random samples (actually, they are favorites):
Belated Happy Father’s Day
http://www.brigittedale.com/blog/?p=10
Picking Up Pennies
http://www.brigittedale.com/blog/?p=25
The Power of “oh”
http://www.brigittedale.com/blog/?p=16
Brigitte Dale is wondrous!
p.s. MESSAGE FOR THE GIRL HOLDING STUFFED CHICKEN: You should never ever put a penny back down after picking it up when on a date. Don’t walk past them either. If you want to pick them up then be the wonderful you that you are… the World is a richer place with you… Your blog entry was a while ago… Perhaps you have already figured this out…

I'm no stalker. It just looked like an area I know and if I'm right then she crossed a picket line I was walking, which would make me kinda sad.

Funny comment... "You should be looking at the background." Background? What background? ;)
So is Penrod pureed yet? He SHOULD be!

You must be a newcomer. This is comparatively mild when contrasted with when Patrick was here!

It is Warner Brothers. Right between 20 and 21 seconds you can see the WB water tower.
Oh, and I miss Patrick. And Jim Murphy. Where ARE they????

Les Moonves of CBS is whimpering mush when it comes to reporting hard news that might offend the Bush Administration. When Rather surfaced documentation confirming Bush's AWOL status and his having gotten into the Air National Guard ahead of thousands of qualified candidates through GHWB's intervention, Les fired him rather than pursue the story. You do realize that Rather's documents, though questioned, were never proven to be false? Rather's suit is legitimate; CBS will not get a Summary Judgement.
The WB back lot is a long way to go for a Ciao Bella gelatto. Hope you had a smashing good time! My love to O'Hare... not.

Great Super Random Friday the 16th. You probably got bored with crunching leaves under your feet. Came for the palm fronds & sunshine. Winter jacket to tank top. We all know Brig walks on water.
