Got my plane tickets for CineVegas a couple days ago. CineVegas is a nine day film festival that I'll only be attending the first three days of, but I fervently hope that one weekend will afford me the opportunity to meet both Ann-"Kitten With A Whip"-Margret and Samantha "I Would Allow Her to Bear My Children if Only That 'Honor' Had Not Been Bestowed Upon Another" Morton.
I'll be attending with TV's Chris Gore, the Internet's Eric Campos, and AM radio's Mark Bell. I anticipate little sleep and less sobriety.
Oh, and apparently we all have tickets to ArenaBowl XIX on Sunday. For those of you who have real football in your cities (i.e. not Los Angeles), arena football is that sport where guys crash into nets after catching a ball with only one foot in bounds. Or something. I have no idea who might end up playing for the championship, but I'll take a page from the Oakland Raiders and be sure to root for the team with the largest number of ex-con fans sitting near me.
And did I mention Bryan Adams is playing the halftime show? I somehow managed to get through all of the '80s and '90s without seeing him perform live, and still the bastard dogs my steps into the next millennium. He's the Max Walker to my Senator McComb in Timecop, the Bele to my Lokai, the Once-ler to my Lorax, the...
You get the idea.
To commemorate "Summer of '69," I'll try to remember to take a picture of Mark giving oral gratification to a 32-oz. cup of beer.
Living Color opened for the Stones when we saw them on the Steel Wheels tour in Dallas.
Dude, I was JUST thinking of going...just for shits n giggles. I'm going to definitely try and go now!
I just decided on a new professional goal: I want you to go to a film festival where one of my films is screened, and then have you write a review of it on Film Threat. THEN I'll know I've REALLY arrived. :)
Hey Pete...
Just stumbled across your blog... our film is having it's world premiere at CineVegas on Saturday night June 11th and the Bellagio is sponsoring our after party... you should get in touch and come hang out with us.
The film is In Memory of My Father, a dark comedy filled with the same chaos that I think we will be embracing while in Vegas...
Look forward to meeting and hanging out

Didn't Bryan "Blame Canada" Adams open for the Stones when we saw them? Or am I thinking of the wrong tour (or the wrong Pete)?
