The Office’s Jenna Fischer describes what a set visit is like in her MySpace blog:
This is always a cool experience because you see what it takes to make a scene work from beginning to end. You see us laugh, do bits, and generally mess up along the way. You get to watch a live rehearsal, tour the set, you can take photos behind Michael’s desk holding his World’s Best Boss mug or at reception, and the cast drops by here and there to say hello and thank you for supporting a good cause.
This is a Toshiba M505 laptop, decorated Soul Pancake-style with Rainn Wilson’s autograph inside.
If you build this exact laptop (4GB RAM, 500GB HD, Bluetooth, upgraded DVD drive) at Toshiba.com, it prices out to over $1,000.
Proceeds benefit one of Rainn’s favorite charities, The Mona Foundation.
Some photos start on the next page.
