Things that happened this week in no particular order:

Saw Hal Holbrook reminisce about his childhood and early years with the super villan Robert Patrick in an art gallery that contained the neon sign for The Brown Derby Wilshire.

Was an audience member for the new Chelsea Lately sitcom pilot. Danced like crazy with fun friends and got the crowd going- pretty rad. The fluffer thanked us later.

Met Chris Long in my directing class- very funny, cool guy of The Mentalist, Gilmore Girls and Lois and Clark fame.

My neighborhood got evacuated during the Emmys because there was some terrorist with a bomb (so he claimed) on a bus. So it took me an hour to get into my apartment because of all of the police blockades.

Met up with some lovely filmmaker friends from Utah.

Nearly got hit by a Mercedes SUV in the USC parking lot. She saw me trying to cross the road and sped up. I should have taken her license plate number down that entitled monster.


Attended the creative Emmys. Geeked out over celebrities within arms reach: Seth Meyers, Mo Rocca, Cloris Leachman, Paul Reubens, Alfre Woodard, Seth Green, Kristin Chenoweth, Rebecca Romijn, Julia Stiles, Gene Simmons, Priscilla Presley, and Mad Men folks (which made me very excited) Matthew Weiner... himself, Alison Brie, Rich Sommer and Kiernan Shipka) to name a few.

LA is turning out to be a pretty cool gig.
