Pic fat fun
Posted by pete at January 21, 2004 10:23 PMPictures from last night's FT party, and other places.
Jeff "The Dude" Dowd in front of the Holiday Cinema.
Our party was so exclusive we got Fred Durst to tend bar:
Spike and Mike of "Spike and Mike's Twisted Festival of Animation" fame:
Andy Richter's Paget Brewster (in hat) with assorted others of the My Big Fat Independent Movie cast:
Actress Shawnee Smith, et. al:
The FT crew decompressing at a Park City bar:
The party went well, as any party with free beer and wine generally will. I took quite a few more pictures, but don't want to clog up anyone's browser more than absolutely necessary.
I've acquired a sort of paranoia regarding celebrity sightings since the first couple days. At first, I was just sort of walking around with my head down, trying to find a shuttle before my ass froze off. Now, I find myself slowing down when I come up on a cluster of people, or see a TV crew interviewing someone, or see a trucker cap.
Seriously people, trucker hats? I saw the guy-who-headbutted-a-goat from the Mountain Dew commerical in one, along with countless other young wannabe starlets. Surely they've heard how so 2003 those things are.
As a non-industry type, I think the hardest thing to get used to is the schmooze factor. I loathe networking in general, even when it means getting myself a job, and the sheer enormity of the flesh-pressing is a mite dizzying. Fortunately, I can drink. A lot.
Riding Giants, Stacy Peralta's surfing documentary, is the best movie I've seen so far.
Tonight's an off night for me, as I try to catch up on the mountain of reviews I need to write. There's a screening of My Big Fat Independent Movie tomorrow night, and the Slamdance party Friday.
Work, work, work.
Oh man! I remember Shawnee Smith from The STand she was sooooooooooooo darn freaky in it!
Unless you know something I don't know about upcoming episodes, Paget Brewster has had nothing to do with 24. Not that I'd be upset if she did.
The FT posse pic looks like a line-up of serial killers. You've got the full range, too, from The Guy Who Wears Your Face As A Hat (#1), The Creepy One-Armed Hitchhiking Transient (#3), and The American Psycho Preppie Pretty Boy (#5).
And just what is TV's own Greg Brady, Barry Williams (#4), doing with this motley bunch? Has he finally snapped after decades of repressing the horrors of the singing and dancing variety show abortion known as "The Brady Bunch Hour?"
Pete, I just want you to know that I am so jealous, I could kick you in the nuts.
