We met for breakfast and headed over to the old Miami convention center, where the show shoots, to set up camp for a long day ahead of us. We started the day rather early on Friday. It’s a hilarious commentary on where our minds are.

Not a single person on the bridge stopped to check out the mushroom cloud.

When he realized that they weren’t extras, that it was actually Miami traffic, his thoughts immediately went to the crazy fact that no one stopped. He recalled watching the dailies and thinking how cool it was that they had gotten all these extras to drive through Miami as they caused this damage on the bridge. One of my favorite stories of the night was him telling us about shooting last year’s finale, when they blew up a car with a missile and created a giant mushroom cloud in the middle of downtown Miami. You can tell just by the way he tells a story, that he truly loves his job and couldn’t ask for anything better. In the only conversation of the two days that we didn’t get a chance to record (I think we all had our recorders in our bags, but no one wanted to break that ice), Matt told us stories about how the show came to be, about why he ended up in Miami, and what might happen to various characters if he suddenly stops getting along with their portrayer! He offered great insight into the world of BURN NOTICE and why he likes filming in Miami. We had a great time at dinner, talking about the show. I arrived on a Thursday afternoon, just a few hours before our scheduled dinner at The Chart House with the mastermind behind the whole show, the absolutely hilarious and incredibly personable Matt Nix. USA was great enough to invite a few members of the online media word (read: bloggerati) to visit Miami and the set of BURN NOTICE! A little over a week ago, I had the great pleasure of spending some time on the set of a little show we all know (and should absolutely love). It’s only the middle of June and already I’ve got a wicked “What I did on my summer vacation” story to share with you all. Amrie Cunningham on the set of BURN NOTICE
