FJ Cruiser Photo Shoot Needs Support
Rising Sun has been in touch with a photo location scout who was retained by Toyota's ad agency, Saatchi and Saatchi, about a photo shoot of the new FJ Cruiser. The scout is based in LA, and was unable to do the scouting personally, and retained a local scout. I've been in touch with both of them, both by email and by phone.
The LA scout informed me today that they've chosen the Walden CO area do do their shooting on Feb 11th and 12th, a Saturday and Sunday. He wanted to know if we could provide some support in case the FJ or their other vehicle(s) gets stuck in the snow. Walden's 142 miles from Denver so I don't know how many Rising Sun members we can get up there, but you guys are a lot closer to Walden. Here's copy-and-paste from the latest email: ----------------------------------------------------------- Just wanted to update you on the status of the photo shoot. They have decided on Walden, CO, shooting Saturday, Feb. 11th and Sunday Feb 12th. We would like to invite you and your local TLCA to the shoot. Do you think anyone from within your TLCA group would be interested in coming up? We would like to at least designate a couple vehicles to be there for the weekend. Mostly to be there as support in case the FJ or any other vehicles get stuck. I would think they could at least cover a couple hotel room's, food and gas for a couple of vehicles. They are planning on flying into Denver and driving up to Laramie, WY on Friday. I will not be there on the shoot, but I wanted to let you know how the schedule was coming together and to see if can help me organize the designated Cruisers. Gavin Harrison is the producer and he will be the contact on the shoot, but I am organizing support. They will organize food on they days of the shoot, and would like to have enough for everyone thats comes to hang out, maybe we could get a head count. They probably don't need this until next week some time. Let me know what you think and feel free to call me anytime.

Okay TJ, which would you rather do: be the first cruiserhead in Colorado to pull an FJ Cruiser out of a drift, get photos of your 1978 FJ40 alongside of a 2007 FJ Cruiser, or wrench?

DINING: The River Rock cafe/Antler Inn which we'll most likely have the meeting at, lounge/bar/inn...pretty new in town and the nicest. The Bowling alley, good burgers, 6 lanes of furious bowling! The Elkhorn, longtime stable, typical small diner Moose River, another diner North Park Supers: THE grocery store...closes at like 7 or 8...so get what ya need early.

The Stockman: local hangout...I got everyones back River Rock: nicer than stockman PARTS: Napa...thats it...you guessed it, main street! Natural Hot Springs: for the brave... about 30 minutes outside of town, smells like sulphur,(you will need MANY showers after this) been buldozed in a time or two......polar bearing is FREEZING this time of year...just do it drunk (don't ask how i know) For everyone up there that is gonna stay, I'll give ya my cell phone number in case you need something.

Outsiders?
Is this open to the general public or invite only? I'd love to come-up and check out the new FJ.
BTW: Ben I'm the guy that brought over Alex's engine. |

nice to see ya on mud! Here's the info from the FJ Crew: Hello Jeff Nelson here, I was the location scout for this job and now I am helping coordinate this shoot. Toyota wants snow, mud, and water for this campaign and we are doing the snow portion in Walden, Co. It is going to take place on Sat & Sun, Feb 11th & 12. Toyota wanted to invite everyone from the TLCA and local clubs to come up and hang out and to check out the new FJ. We will try to find a good meeting place in Walden in the morning if people would like to head out with us. I don't know if there is a coffee shop or diner, but the photo crew is staying Laramie and driving in fairly early in the AM and returning to Laramie in the evenings. Any suggestions? They will be taking pictures of the FJ for advertisement as well as getting shots & video of everyone that comes out for the Toyota website. So, by mid-week we should have a good idea on how this is coming together. Robert Antonson "powderpig" will rolling with us and helping us coordinate. We will try get a head count on who is coming so we have enough food for all. It should be a good time! |

Hi all, who is planning on going and when are you headin up there? I have booked a room at the North Park Hotel. They don't have much left up there for rooms as the snowmobilers and skiers tend to grab them. If anyone is interested in going, call some of these places to get your rooms ASAP.
I am planning on going Friday evening, not sure what time. Land Cruiser will be a trailer queen on this one. A friend is letting me borrow his truck and trailer. Anyone want to caravan? FJBen, when are you heading up that way? Goingthe Laramie route? or Poudre? Do we have any further info on the shoot? damn, too many questions, not enough Land Cruisers.
