My photos from The Office wrap party

[This is one report from my 2013 visit to The Office set. See all reports here.]

The Office series finale wrap party was held on Saturday, March 16, 2103.

Since The Office cast was still shooting the finale when the party started at 8pm, they didn’t arrive to the party until around 10:30 or 11, I think. I believe every guest star that has ever appeared in an episode was invited, but because there were so many people there, I didn’t get to see them all.

The Office Executive Producer Greg Daniels gave a really touching speech, which was followed by a video reel, including new bloopers.

It was wonderful connecting with cast, crew, and writers. Thanks for inviting me! :)

Rest in peace, Lester Lewis

The Office: Lester Lewis

I was greatly saddened to hear that Lester Lewis died this week.

Lester was a writer and producer on The Office during its early seasons, and penned Season 4’s The Deposition and Season 5’s Customer Survey. Lester was kind enough to do a Customer Survey Q&A with OfficeTally.

The most lively exchange of emails I had with Lester revolved around the song Boy Hangover, which he wrote for The Office Season 5 episode, Cafe Disco. He was absolutely delighted over the fan reaction to the song!

Rest in peace, Lester. xo
