Editor’s note: Bryn Mathieu lives near one of the studios, where WGA picketing and honking occurs daily. In May, law enforcement in Burbank posted an electronic sign outside of Warner Bros warning drivers that excessive horn use violates 27001 of the California Vehicle Code. The law enforces “reasonably necessary” horn blowing to insure safe operation of other vehicles. Otherwise, “the horn shall not otherwise be used, except as a theft alarm system.”
Before 8 lights are great. After 10 honk again.*
I’m not a writer and I’m not using ChatGPT, so hang in there while I make my point. Writers have a right to strike just as I have the right to sleep. My house is opposite a studio entrance and for years I’ve put up with the studio lot noise. Now I also have to endure honking cars. Apparently drivers passing in front of the studio entrance are “showing the love“ by honking their horns while going 45 miles an hour. This is the cheapest form of support for your fellow strikers.

I like to sleep till about 8:30 in the morning, I’m one of those creatives that enjoys a more bohemian lifestyle and to deal with the noise emanating from the studio lot I spent years remodeling my house, but even so, it’s not up to honking horns.
It’s astounding to me that other creatives can rise as early as 5:30 in the morning to show up across from my house at 6:30 am. It was mentioned that this was so striking writers could “block” scab trucks from entering the studio lot.
In my third and final attempt to beg the striking writers across from my

Dead and Company have just eight concerts left on their massive 2023 Farewell Tour with John Mayer before hanging it up for good.And if you missed Bobby Weir, Mickey Hart and the boys at Citi Field on June 21-22, we’re here to fill you in with a full account of the show courtesy of the New York Post’s resident Deadhead, Ryan Murphy.Murphy attended night two at Citi Field on June 22 and said the Mets stadium was “crazy packed.”He had floor seats and a “great side view.”At his show, there were no guest artists — besides Mayer of course — and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame band played two sets which included covers of Traffic’s “De›ar Mr. Fantasy” and The Beatles’ “Hey Jude” along with Ryan’s favorite, the 1978 classic “Fire On The Mountain” from their “Shakedown Street” album wailed by bassist Oteil Burbridge.He added that Weir’s best that evening was “Mama Tried” and Mayer peaked with “Alabama Getaway.”“That’s just my opinion though,” he was quick to note.Over the course of the nearly four-hour set (!), the band kept their banter to a minimum; according to Ryan “they kept it all about the music and their farewell.”Murphy, 31, was also excited to see fans of all ages including “older people jamming out” and “people in the 25-35 age range.”If you’re planning on attending one of the final gigs at Boulder, CO’s Folsom Field Stadium, George, WA’s Gorge Amphitheater or San Francisco, CA’s Oracle Park (where they got their start), Murphy has a few tips.“Definitely arrive early,” he said.
