It’s been a quiet time as we wait for the new fall TV season to steamroll over our heads.
A couple of quick items:
– Mac Taylor is mentioned among other TV portrayals of 9/11 in this article

Okay…
Several sources are reporting that 34-year-old actress Claire Forlani is joining the cast of CSI: New York for at least four episodes as a love interest for none other than Mac Taylor. She is listed in the IMDB as “Dr. Peyton Driscoll.”
Let’s hope this bodes well for a greater emphasis on character-driven stories this season.

Lt. Dan Band Tours CSI Set & Performs for CSI Cast and CBS crew
Gary’s friend and co-founder of Lt. Dan Band, Kimo Williams, recently shared that Gary took the entire band on a tour of the CSI set. The band played on the CSI lot for all those who work on the show and other shows at CBS. Kimo said it was great fun and probably the first time many folks that Gary works with were able to see just how good the band was - but more specifically how good Gary was. Kimo said everyone was quite impressed. He also said the band will probably do it again next year. See photos of the event HereSpecial thanks to Kimo Williams for sharing this with us here at sinisefans.org
