Thanks For Supporting Michigan By filming here

Rating: 10/10 (17 September 2009)

Thanks to cast and crew and especially Drew Barrymore for filming in the beautiful state of Michigan!! And now as the fates would have it I have the copyright of the pig used in the movie!! Imagine that! It will be going to the diner in it's spot on the roof as soon as it gets a $20,000.00 face lift so it can withstand the weather. Ann the owner of the oink joint also sends her thanks and fans love the fact they can visit the diner in Birch Run Michigan and take pictures of themselves there. Soon they will be able to have pictures with the pig back in it!!! And Ann tells me that Drew actually named the diner or the diners name was in the book Derby Girl that I am not sure of??? I know that the diner kept the menus that were used in the movie and actually serve the food!! They have pictures on the walls of the film crew at work. They will be having an old time car show and Grand reopening of The Oink Joint on 9/10/09 and they hope to show the movie, however, I believe they are working on the legality of that. So a big huge thank you and much success to the movie Whip It and congratulations Drew Barrymore on your directorial debut..you go girl!!
