I spent the week at the Los Angeles film festival--it was a lot of fun. There was some interesting films--particularly some documentaries--and enough parties to mingle with publicists, actresses, producers, etc. There was also that director who owes me big time 
I wanted to talk to him and meet that famous actor who was with him, but their asshole agent was there and since I can't stand him, I decided I'd be better off not having to have to kiss his ass.
On Tuesday, I went to the Farhenheit 9/11 premiere. The room was packed with celebrities and industry people. Couldn't get my date to get in but even some well-known actors couldn't even get a seat. The atmosphere was fun, everybody was laughing and commenting. Samuel L Jackson was wearing a "Wax Bush" T-shirt.
The festival is now over, which is kind of sad, but fortunately the Latino film festival is coming up next month.

I was there both days at coachella actually. Pixies ripped it up.... definately hands down the best act of the festival. Radiohead was as usual, great too. But not the best I've seen...but Thom had a sore throat and had canceled his previous tour dates so i have to give him some credit. me and a friend got lucky and got VIP and backstage passes for both days, so it was incredible. Ive got some pictures on picturetrail.com (member name:katieguthrie) but they dont do the event justice. Moore is percieved mixed I guess. Suprisingly enough, i think he has a bigger crowd in charleston where I go to school. At least with people my age. Both my hometown (a ritzy suburbanite mecca) and my school (in the south...enough said) arent places w/huge michael moore support. How does cali compare? Considering the gargantuan debts California has been sunken into during this presidency, i'd bet a hell of a lot better....

Yes, I am from connecticut (and yes, besides beautiful outdoor scenery, it sucks in a lot of ways.) I go to school in south carolina, so kind of on a whim i talked to my cousin about upcoming music events there (hes from the laguna area) and he told me about coachella. So after taking finals early, i grabbed a friend, a load of cash, a plane ticket, and did the west coast circuit from san diego/pb area to los angeles (and quite a bit in between) visiting friends and such for two weeks also. At the time i was working 3 jobs, and well, money burns in my hands. Its sort of odd growing up where not too many kids are into the same type of stuff, but there's always a select few. Who wants to be mainstream anyways (hehe)... I'm such a little elitist sometimes. I havent heard the new LA station, but ill definately check into it. As odd as CT is though, i dont know if i'd rather live here or LA... LA is a little too similar to a circus for me (but gone terribly wrong...too much money for too few people, extremely elitist, and well, its la-la land.) Love northern cali though. I was just overwhelmed perhaps. I see your hometown is france, what made you want to go to california?
