Thursday night is a bit of a blur but I wanted to start the weekend with a bang.
Friday I ended up going to the Magic Castle to catch Michael Paul and Farrell Dillion performing. I bumped into Yuri and a bunch of regulars. I didn't perform any magic but it was because I felt so depleted from the night before. I noticed that Farrell let in David and his pals in to his Friday 10:30 show but left me in line. There goes that vote for the AMA award.
Saturday night I heard the rumble of the fireworks just outside my apartment. I looked out the window and saw some fireworks north and east but not west because Santa Monica doesn't do 4th of July celebrations because the tourists have ruined it for the locals.
Later in the evening I met cnelson, readiness and Dr Who at the New Beverly Cinema. We were to see the midnight showing of Red Dawn. It was a surprise to see Lea Thompson there and a delight when she answered questions about the movie and her career films.
When Howard the Duck was brought up there was a lot of laughing and cheering. Then the trailers started with two Lea Thompson movies "Howard the Duck" and "The Wild Life". I told the gang that Howard the Duck was on Hulu but I found out it is not anymore. Bummer.
