what a weekend!


Quite a weekend. Some idyllic time in the country was bookended by the Shiny Objects screening on friday, which was well attended, thanks in part to the Midtown Monthly cover story, and was followed by a lively Q and A with the director, complete with semi-heckling by Dave Smith.

Then on sunday, Midtown Monthly pulled some strings and I was able to get into the booked-for-months sunday portion of the weekend-long celebration of the ten year anniversary of the Waterboy. There was so much love in the air that I'm getting choked up thinking about it. I finally got to meet Rick Mahan and he was so friendly and rad! I'll be writing about it in Midtown Monthly in the December issue. I think I'm going to the very reasonably priced thursday night dinner that they have once a month the menu is under events on the website). This month it's on november 16th, early cuz of Thanksgiving.

I missed Olsen's bday celebration cuz of the Waterboy thing but I'm guessing it was very fun. Any party reports? Hope it's ok I stole this photo to post.

    Did Olsen intentionally dress like Teddy Roosevelt, or did his 1929 accidentally regress to 1908?

    We are in the process of revoking Smif's White Trash membership card because he is actually descended from the Spanish Jews. Oy vay, what a skeleton in the closet that is!

  12. I'm only just now seeing this since now I work somewhere where I stand up all day with a gas mask on or holding a knife (and surprisingly, no, I do not work as a WWI re-enactor) and then I've been working at Tower at night afterwords.

    But no, Foster, The above picture was from the Heritage Party. DP specifically requested that I dress as T.R., so I did.

    I mean, come on, do you think I can't tell the difference between 1929 and 1908? Who are we talking about here?
