The South Pasadena Public Library is located at 1100 Oxley Street in South Pasadena. You can find a map for it here.
I have yet to verify it myself, but if it's for real I'll check it out. Maybe I'll get a chance to test out my new digital camera.

The times on the signs were from 3:00pm to 1:00am. Sounds like there will either be a couple of daylight scenes followed by night shooting, or there's an extensive setup required before they can do the night scenes. Either way, I'll take a peek tomorrow and let you know what I see.

Yes, the Angel crew was at the South Pasadena Public Library tonight. It was quite an eventful night. If you've seen the Buffy shoot thread you'll know I was shuttling back and forth between South Pasadena and Sunland tonight, too...
Okay, my first order of business is to tell you that this report has been CENSORED. Toward the end of the night an Assistant Director busted me for taking pictures of the shoot. We worked a deal wherein I deleted all my pics of one particular scene that they seemed very determined not to let out, but they looked the other way while I kept my other shots. I am therefore not going to say anything about the scene they made me delete my pictures of - at least not until I've talked it over with Xita, AnGeL X, etc. I don't want to jeopardize my ability to cover future shoots.
Now then. Here's the scene I can tell you about.
Gunn and Fred are walking around looking for something beneath this humongous magnolia tree. Fred has a camcorder in her hand. Gunn sees something on the ground and picks it up. It's a single red rose. Fred comes over, and they look at it together. Then they both suddenly fall down out of the shot.
A Production Assistant informed me that the magnolia tree is actually a monster of some sort, and that Gunn and Fred are pulled down underground. They've already shot something on a sound stage where the two of them are battling monsterous roots of some sort. That may or may not be like battling geek-infested roots. I'm not sure.
Gunn was wearing a brown jacket, gray pants, and I don't remember what color his shirt was. (Hey, I'm a guy... what do you want?) Fred was wearing blue jeans, and red tank-top like shirt and a lightweight pink sweater. It was quite cold out by the end of the evening and poor Amy Acker was huddling in a large coat when the cameras weren't rolling. It reminded me of Shonda Farr having to perform in the skimpy April dress on a cold February day last year.
There was one blooper - on the first take, J. August Richards fell into Amy Acker instead of falling straight down, and he knocked poor Amy onto her rear end. There was much merriment among the crew over that.
I have some pics, but many of them are dark and blurry and will take some time to whip into shape. It's well past midnight now, so I'll get them online tomorrow.
I was also told that David Boreanaz was in South Pasadena earlier today, doing a different shoot at a bookstore. I have no idea what that was about.
Until later...

Meanwhile, there's been at least one person on another board who has already guessed what the scene was.
Pics coming up later!

A lot of them are rather fuzzy, but remember that it was late at night and quite dark. I was pushing my lil' ol' digital camera to its limits.
Gunn's Truck, with the camera crew setting up around it.
Also Gunn's truck, with a bit more of the setup work completed.
The Prop Cart, with a mysterious bouquet of roses sitting on it.
The Killer Magnolia. Some small neighborhood children watching the shoot were quite upset to hear that their favorite tree was a monster. We had to reassure them that it was only pretend.
Pre-shoot talk-through - Tim going through the scene with Jay and Amy. Note that Jay's drinking coffee. It was cold.
Rehearsal, as Gunn and Fred watch something on Fred's camcorder.
Still rehearsing. You can sort of see that Gunn's holding one of the roses.
The shoot. Poor Amy had to give up her coat and face the cold.
In the "hindsight is 20/20" and "irony can be pretty ironic" departments, I realized this morning that I might have been able to talk the AD into letting me keep at least some of my pics of the censored scene, since I couldn't get any shots of the specific bit they want to keep quiet. I could have described the scene and left that bit out, and you would have been none the wiser. Oh well...

Like the pics. I'm intrigued by this top secret scene that you're not supposed to tell us about.

If anything I say could be taken two or more ways and one of those ways offends or bother you, I meant the other.

I should mention that my grapevine-contact made out like a bandit that night. After I skulked off into the night, the same AD who hassled me took her over to meet Tim Minear. Tim then introduced her to Jay and Amy. Then it turned out that Tim's car was parked right in front of hers! They laughed about it, and then he gave her his shooting script.
And before you ask... no, I haven't gotten any details from the shooting script. Reportedly Tim wrote "Don't spoil this!" on it when he gave it to her.
