Today in Hollywood

Eugene, Jim, and Ernie - Fight the Power
Originally uploaded by eugeneson

So a few of us went for a walk today. Lots of writers, actors, directors, teamsters, nurses, etc. Big crowd.

Ran into some great writers - Jack, Drew, Melch, Jim, Ernie, Melody, Doug, Clifford - and chatted with some of the writers from Battlestar Galactica, including Jane Frikkin Espenson. And plenty of celebrities, including Bill Maher, Masi Oka, and Matt Groening.

There's a sense of optimism, with the two sides going back to the negotiating table on Monday, that maybe an agreement can be reached before Christmas. Here's hoping.
