What a fabulous shin-dig this was! The Arrington Red Fox Red Wine is absolutely outstanding. Sorta like Pinot Noir, but with a spicy kick to it that I just thought was yummy! I attended the party with my new friend and traveling buddy Lee Friedlander. Not the the male photographer, but the female director of movies Wasabi Tuna, GirlPlay and her latest Out at the Wedding.

Another couple of cool cats I met were Director Steven Goldmann and Producer Alan Brewer who were screening their movie Trailer Park of Terror. I guess Steven was in the running to direct Otis, but he needed to complete his film. Fun chatting with him and Alan about their film (which was screening Wednesday, the day after my return to LA) and I look forward to seeing it!

I also got to meet an upcoming singer/songwriter named Stacy Donahue and her man-thing, Lee. Stacy is mucho talented and you can check out StacyDonahue.com for more.

Monday began late as I was able to sleep in a bit, which was nice. My main agenda for the day was to get to the Actors Turned Filmmakers Panel and try my hand at getting into Young@Heart, the sound out screening of the hot doc about seniors who rock.

The Actors Turned Filmmaker Panel was quite entertaining with Michelle Paradise, Joey Lauren Adams, Robby Benson and Vincent D’Onofrio each discussing there various adventures behind the camera. It was moderated by big time casting director Laray Mayfield. I went to the panel with Lee as she and Michelle Paradise worked on the short film The Ten Rules: A Lesbian Survival Guide which actually became the basis for the cable show Exes & Ohs. Pretty cool stuff! So, a great panel overall, some fun topics and pitfalls about jumping behind the camera. Afterward I was able to do a little celeb stalking.

Later that day, I was able to get into the Young@Heart screening as it was so popular they moved it to a bigger theatre. Now, lemme tell you something, if this movie doesn’t move you, you ain’t human. It was beyond awesome. Very well done and I recommend that everyone catch this flick. I watched this with another new friend – actress Emily Wing.

After that I went with Lee to her screening of Out at the Wedding. A quirky comedy about mistaken identities and finding your true self.

Then it was finally time for the main event. OTIS. The screening went great. The crowd, although not as full as I wanted it to be, was completely enthusiastic in it’s laughter and response to the film. Right before I went in to the screening, they nabbed me for a quick interview.

After the screening I did a Q&A and I was glad to discover that Shelley Justiss got some photos of the occasion:

On Tuesday, I attended a few additional panels about the world of film financing and indie vs studio film making before I had to catch my early afternoon flight back to Los Angeles. Overall, a great couple of days. And so much more than I can fit into this post. I met other great peeps (Heather, Reed, Elise, Ali, and many more!) Everyone was so great and I had a lot of fun…Till the next adventure!

Hello from Valdez. It’s Wednesday and we are half way through the week. It’s been a great and awesome week so far! I have met some wonderful folks and also been able to reconnect with some of my old time friends. I have also gotten to play a range of really fun roles and meet some gret playwrights along the way. The picture above is outside the schools dorms (where we are staying) and cannot possibly give you the impression of what the backgrounds are like here in Valdez. I almost forget that I am from Alaska!

Last night we had a bonfire up on Mineral Creek road and I neglected to take my camera. Some unbelievable views, but they are only mind memories (which are sometimes the best anyway!).

Okay, hopefully more to come and I will spend the next several days taking photos, as I have not been capturing enough of the beauty of the people, the land and the conference.

Excellent day to you!

And Away We Go Again…Originally uploaded by LimboSaint.Wow! I haven’t even really had time to write about my last adventure, and yet here I find myself on another airplane. I figure we are about an hour from landing in Anchorage. Ah, Anchorage, I love it. Such great friends, such great scenery, it’s truly awe-inspiring and this trip will be much fun.But before I get into all that, I should mention my previous excursions to Omaha and New York.

Well, I will have to do that later. We are getting ready to land. I will try and update this trip with picture, so keep your eyes open people!
