So, I'll be hanging out in Windham, NH for a few days this week, and not just for the heck of it, I'll be working as a PA on an episode of Food Network 's ' Restaurant: Impossible '. I got an email from the Production Manager a couple weeks ago who was looking for local PA's. I said, sure I'd be happy to help out. Then I got the Production Schedule on Friday and I am on the call sheet, so that makes it official. I'll be on set Monday - Wednesday and the weather looks great so we should be dry and comfortable. I hope they appreciate the New Hampshire hospitality!
