September 7, 2012 - The cast of The New Normal are stopping by The Grove today

Cast members from the new NBC show The New Normal are stopping by The Grove to discuss the show with Extra at 1:00 p.m.  This interview will be taking place next to the Pacific Theatres.

The Grove is located at 189 The Grove Drive in Los Angeles and directions can be found here.  If you're planning on attending this appearance, please call The Grove at (323) 900-8080 to confirm the schedule.  Occasionally, times change, appearances are made private or celebrities are rescheduled.  Please read this disclaimer below.

Disclaimer:  I enjoy posting these celebrity appearances at The Grove, however, lately I've seriously considered not posting them any longer.  Extra often tweets or posts these appearances on their website, people show up (sometimes driving hours), only to find out the celebrity was rescheduled or they decided to make it a private interview at the last minute.  This often results in a headache for the fans and I.

Most of the time Extra doesn't update their website to mention the appearances being changed.  The rare times Extra has mentioned a schedule change, I haven't been online to make mention of it.  So many times I get online to find messages from disappointed fans showing up at these apperances.

For now, I'll continue posting these appearances.  I'd strongly caution anyone planning on attending and ask that they double check by calling (323) 900-8080 before wasting their time driving over for nothing.
