    Not Myrtle Beach

    The beach scenes are so obviously not in Myrtle Beach. They are clearly Cali locations. Given the success of the show, you would think the producers would have spent a little money and filmed on location at Myrtle. Cheap cheap cheap!!!

    Not Myrtle Beach *duh*

    In response to the review complaining it's obviously not Myrtle Beach, it's because they never went to MB in the show. They repeatedly mentioned Florida as their destination. Hermosa Beach can easily sub for a random Florida beach.

    The episode is funny in that it shows how those of us who are socially awkward navigate pointless things that others deem a "right of passage."

    • Trivia
      The band performing at the club is The Shins. They are performing their song "So Says I" off of their "Chutes Too Narrow" album. This is coincidentally an album that Rory is seen borrowing from Lane in Season 3.
    • Goofs
      When Rory and Paris are getting breakfast in the dining hall, Rory grabs a cup and pours herself some coffee. When the shot changes, they are walking away from the breakfast line and Rory grabs her coffee cup. However you can clearly see her grab one of the empty, upside down cups off the tray again.
    • Quotes

      Paris: [Rory and Paris are running inside to get out of the pouring rain] Out of the way! Move, move, move!

      Girl in the dorm: Is it raining?

      Paris: No, it's National Baptism Day. Tie your tubes, idiot!
