Break the Burbank
I dunno...that was the best one I could come up with...Fun weekend...
Checked out the Game Show Congress in Burbank yesterdasy. It was a lot of fun. In addition to seeing the familiar faces, it was nice to meet some new ones. It was particularly fun to finally match an actual face to the various names from the game show online forums and webpages. The luncheon was great...got a chance to introduce myself to Jack Narz and I have to say, I HEART Betty White even more than I did before. She's still a sharp one and she seems like such the sweetest person.
I've pretty much decided what my favorite place to eat is in Burbank...the PF Chang's behind the Media City. Doug and I took his sister and her friends to dinner there on Friday and yet again, it was a wonderful meal. The service there has consistently been good and the food is great as well. Mmmm...Banana Spring Rolls...Mmmmm...
Spent some time out of the valley Saturday night...Ted and I went to Mike's housewarming shindig in West Hollywood. Such a cute new place he has...And, the best part was seeing a number of friends whom I had not seen a quite a while.
Guilty purchase of the week...A DVD mini-collection of Styx videos. Mr. Roboto!!!! While we were watching this with my roommate, the idea of putting Styx's music to a musical was brought up. And then I remembered...it's kinda been done. The music school from which I took accordion lessons (shhh...no laughing...ok...yes...laugh...I don't care...I hate you all...) :-) Anyhoo, as part of the annual music competition/festival we'd always enter, the school would take part in the "showband" competition. What did that involve?? Putting together a musical revue. One band did a "Name that Tune" parody on year, while another did the music from "Cats." One year, our school did...STYX. They basically took the "Kilroy Was Here" concept album and acted it out throwing in a number here and there form the "Paradise Theater" album. Ok...I definitely had "Too Much Time On My Hands" to type this out...Good night everybody!! * cue "That's All Folks!" theme *
