The crowd. Man it was packed and kind hot in there.

Olena and her husband with Sylvester Stallone.

Debbie Matenopoulos. She was on Fox for a while in the mornings. She’s kind of a goofball, but in a good way.

Tim Palen was the man of the evening. It must be a wonderful feeling to have all those people show up to enjoy something you’ve created.

Stallone is the man!

Debbie Mazar was vivacious and knew just what to do at these types of things.

Jean found the booze. Ahhh yeeahhhh.

Group shot!

Chad hit the big four-oh—I’m next. There was a nice little shindig at hs Dad’s house. It was a chance to catch up with homies. Everyone has kids now!

I went to a conference for Flashers last night. There were 30 employers and about 5 flash guys.

The after party was awesome. Just look at all the people! I actually had a good time meeting some new people and talking shop but it was pretty harsh to see how little talent is available. Yikes!

Note to young people: Pick up the manual, learn Flash, and write your own ticket.

Robert Redford made great movies like this in the 70’s. Awesome script and great acting. Go see it.

There was a nice surprise party tonight for Sean. He turned 40 in September but was out of town the country at the time. Here’s a few photos.

Surprise!

“I was starting to suspect something.”

Damn Andy your baby is cute.

“I wanna hold her.”

Lorin is like totally in love with Sean. I think there’s something going on with those two. She laughs at all his jokes and was totally checking him out all night.

Ok this one is a bit of an 80’s flashback. Gary, Lydia, Sean, and Polly. All SAMOHI alumni. I hope it’s not another 20 years till I see them again.

“Ooooh look, it’s bluetooth.”

“Too bad my iPhone battery is dead.”

The hostess and host Claudia and Tommy fire up the cake.

The cream corn was hit. Trust me it’s good.

I ran up to the top of Mulholland today and took this shot. There was a nice rain last night and I knew it would be clear. It’s a rare day when you can breathe in freash air in Los Angeles. I’m enjoying it.

Sean bought an FJ! Looking forward to taking a little road trip soon. I like the new color for ‘08: “sandstorm”.

He just got back from Jordan and brought me back a little gift. I’m sporting it Indian style. Ahhh yeah…

As usual my head is pounding for no apparent reason so I head to the corner drug store. As I make my way to the front door I see that Maybelline has a little make-up truck parked outside because women love to put on mascara in a parking lot. The celebrity hired to bring a little validity to the event was celebrity stylist Phillip Bloch. You work it girl.

There’s more press than actual people interested in what is going on.

Gabe followed his bliss and bought his third Ducati this week. Soon he will have more motorcycles than Vanilla Ice.
