Rallies and Parties

Tenacious D
Originally uploaded by eugeneson

Braved the on and off rain on Friday and headed to Burbank for the WGA rally. Tenacious D did a great set - three songs. Ended with a catch tune called, "the government totally sucks, mother@#$#er." Lots of writers and actors in the crowd. Saw Nicole Sullivan at the rally with her baby in a baby bjorn - both actress and baby looked fab.

Then in the evening went to the annual IATSE Local 839 (Animation Guild) holiday party in Burbank. Huge room full of people. Got some solid swag (book and bag), but also had maybe the worst chicken skewers ever. But skewers notwithstanding, it was a great night. Too many writers and artists there to mention all by name. Just know there are a lot of you out there.

The topic of discussion last night? Not the WGA strike - which looks like it's destined to go through Christmas.

No, the most discussed topic was whether or not our managers will host their annual holiday bash. The answer is I have no idea, but considering how scaled back and cancelled most holiday events have been because of the WGA strike, I wouldn't be surprised to see it cancelled.

But man, I hope it's still on. If for no other reason than to snack on powdered donuts with the 61st most powerful woman in Hollywood.
