Hollywood Convention!

Today the Hollywood Convention I went to was very cool. Some stars that were supposed to be there (Shirley Jones, etc) did not show up, and some unexpected ones (Michael J Fox) stopped by. I was next in line for a photo op with Michael J Fox, when sadly, he had to leave. It totally sucks, but that is this industry.

Anywho...I got some awesome autographs and some very special pictures. Take a look:


Charles Fleischer, the voice behind Rodger Rabit.


Carrol Spinney, the man behind OSCAR the Grouch and Big Bird!


Christopher Lloyd, "Doc Brown" from Back to the Future!

And, last, BUT NOT LEAST, Kyle with the delorian!

Updates

So this week has not been the GREATEST week ever, but it's going okay...

1. I found out that a friend of mine, and fellow filmmaker, John G., recently passed away in a car crash. He was the director / producer of the documentary that was done in the 7 Bridges Area of Grant Park to study the paranormals. The project was going to be pitched to Discovery & Sci Fi. I talked to John's father and told him I'd like to finish the project in John's honor, and it looks like we may be able to work something out. Keep your fingers crossed.... My condolences and sympathies go out to John and his family.

2. My iPod died :( I figured it was coming due, soon...it's pretty old. My iPod was the *FIRST* to have a color screen. Ah, such a long way technology has come since then. Now I want to get an iPod touch that has all the cool apps and such....we'll have to see about that for the near future.

3. The Hollywood Convention is this weekend! A lot of great stars will be passing through. Not as many as before, but some pretty big names...like Shirley Jones and Christopher Lloyd will be making appearances.

4. I picked up a TON of hours next week at the Red Cross filling in for some staff that has left. I'm excited about that. It looks like I'll have some potential for making money the week of Mother's Day, too, over at the flower delivery job.


That's about it, for now. I'm getting more and more excited for this summer...specifically the end of June, entire month of July, and good portion of August. I cannot wait to be home and spend time with friends and family :) The road trip home and back to Cali should also be pretty exciting.

More to come soon!

TV Land Awards - Recap

The TV Land Awards were last night! What an awesome time that was!


Alot of awards were given out to some great TV shows that have had a historical impact on society. TV Shows recognized were...

- MASH
- ER
- Home Improvement
- Married with Children
- Two and a Half Men
- Magnium, PI

Furthermore, Don Rickles and "Earth, Wind, and Fire" recieved honarary awards. "Earth, Wind, and Fire" performed one song for TV, and did another 2 songs for the audience...very entertaining and very cool! Sid and Marty Kroffit had a big tribute number, too.

A ton of celebrites were at the event! Jeff Probst, Will Ferrel, Amy Pohler, Martin Sheen, Reba McEntire, Ricky and the Band (from American Idol), and more.

Overall, an awesome event. Check it out when it airs this coming Sunday!

On a side note, I saw "MONSTERS vs ALIENS" in theatres yesterday, too. I saw it in IMAX 3D. Despite all of the horrible reviews it got, I thought it was very well done and incredibly amusing. It had a ton of good one line jokes, and it was fun.

On another side note, I am teaching an entertainment camp this summer. If you or someone you know (that is in High School) is interested in joining, tell them to contact me. The site is: www.MilwEntCamp.com .

Lastly, 2 shout outs: 1st is to Laura who made it home safely from overseas :) I missed her lots while she was gone. 2nd is to Darin -- who confirmed he is coming to visit me this summer!

Lindsay Lohan's 'Personals Ad'



Props to Lohan for making fun of herself. This could actually be the first step to getting a good actor back on the right track in Hollywood...

Life is a Beach



Yesterday was fun at the beach. I enjoyed going swimming, since I haven't done that in a while. Despite putting on sunscreen, the sun still managed to find me...

Pilot was AWESOME!

The Kelsey Grammer pilot was tonight and it was FANTASTIC! It was probably one of the BEST sitcom tapings I've been to. The content was extremley funny and watching Kelsey Grammer was very cool.

Not much more to say about it really, other than I'm SURE ABC is going to pick it up for it's fall run. Fingers crossed...it's a really good show!

Kelsey Grammer Pilot

This evening I am super excited because I will be going to a pilot filming tomorrow of an 'Untitled Kelsey Grammer Pilot'. A pilot is the first show of any TV series, in which the audience is key because the actors and production team know what works, what's funny, and what's not. I'm excited :) It should be a fun time...plus it's Kelsey Grammer...and almost everything he touches turns to gold, so who knows?!
