On location in Historic Roswell

Posted: 03:47 PM ET

Eric Lanford and Teague Kennedy

During the 5 days leading up to our shoot on location in Historic Roswell, it had been colder than Vladivostok at Christmas here in Georgia!

Happily for us, whatever God, Saint or diabolical secret government project in charge of controlling the weather decided it was time to cut the "News To Me" crew some slack that day. No clouds, no wind, highs in the upper 60's. Gorgeous!

All that sunshine and the springy temperatures coinciding with Valentine's Day clearly had an effect on Eric. Take a look at some of the objects of his affection...

Eric Lanford and Teague Kennedy

The nice folks at Party Chic! let our crew take up the best seats in the house on their balcony for this shot in which Eric attempts to "seduce" the camera (above). I'll be honest, in person it seemed a little creepy... tune in tomorrow to see if TV magic can make it look like he's got game.

Eric Lanford and Rusty the Dog

Even before Australian firefighters making friends with dehydrated Koalas became a viral video sensation, Eric was getting the paw from a new found furry-friend of his own.

Eric Lanford and Shawni

We ended our day with a group of ladies also taking advantage of the amazing weather (and the fact that it's 5 o'clock somewhere) at the Red Salt Pub. That's where we met Shawni (the woman pointing at Eric – above) who was not shy about telling us what she liked in a man, right down to the fit of his jeans. Unfortunately Eric's back pockets weren't cutting it according to Shawni. Too baggy. Her advice? Get some tips from Cameraman Teague. Apparently cupid's arrow was a little off course this time. Or was it?

You'll have to tune in this weekend to see if Eric needs to change his Facebook status from "single" to "it's complicated."
