Friday's WGA East picket thicket at Time Warner Center

WGA East is sticking with the "it ain't over 'til it's over" philosophy.

In a release about the Gotham branch's mass picket in front of the Time Warner Center on Friday, WGA East sez that its next "big picket" is skedded for Wednesday outside of Viacom headquarters. Unless the strike is called off by then which is the fondest hope of many many folks on both sides of the country.

Nonetheless, just like Thursday's central picket outside Disney's HQ in Burbank, the WGA East drew more than 300 supporters on Friday, including Michael Moore, Tina Fey, Griffin Dunne, Seth Meyers, Rachel Dratch, David Chase, Terry George, Andrew Bergman, Tom Fontana, Warren Leight, Amy Sherman-Palladino and Jerry Coopersmith.

Also joining in were SAG and AFTRA members as well as non-pro union members from the SEIU and Pilots Union. The writers of "The Late Show With David Letterman" picked up lunch tab for the pickets, as they have since they went back to work under the interim agreement that Letterman's Worldwide Pants cut with the WGA.

Pilots Union members are non-pros? Now I'm thinking twice about that upcoming plane trip....

Oh, you mean non-entertainment-industry-professionals.... Never mind....
