COLLAB

This morning I woke up still on a high from last night.  It took me FOREVER to fall asleep because my adrenaline was pumping like crazy.

Corey, Devin, Spencer, MG and myself ventured to the LA Arts District.  It is a really cool area which used to be breweries and have now been turned into lofts.  Not just anyone can live here.  You must make your entire income off of art.  Kevin is the creator of COLLAB and his loft looks like a space ship.  It was truly crazy.

Last night MG presented The Ocean Black to a group of about 60 artists in the LA  community.  There were four films shown and The Ocean Black was by far the most put together {not that I am bias or anything!}

He made a couple contacts which he is going to follow up with today.  We both know this isn't life changing, but it is the first step.  This was the first time TOB had been shown in front of an audience we had never met and people loved it.

I couldn't be more proud or excited for my husband.  I know how hard he works day in and day out on his projects.  I hope he starts to reap the rewards of his hard work soon.  That will make me one very happy wife!

After Work Plans

I have something to share that I am really, really excited about!

Last week MG was contacted by someone who works for Kickstarter.  This gentleman runs a group called COLLAB once a month.  

What is this group?  

It is where artists from all different types of areas can come together and network, show projects, get advice and enjoy free pizza and beer.

Tonight MG is showing The Ocean Black to a group of about 100 artists and then conducting a Q&A afterwards.  

Needless to say we are really excited and thankful for the opportunity.  We are both looking forward to meeting new people and seeing what other projects are going on in the indie world.

I can't wait to report back tomorrow on how the experience goes.  

Wish us luck!

A Night Out in Hollywood

Last week I attended a work event at the Sayers Club in Hollywood with a live performance by Theophilis London.  

It was your typically LA party with everyone dressed in black and too cool for school. MG and I are so not Hollywood.  In the 3 years we have lived here it was my third time at a club and his first.  As much as I am not apart of the Hwood scene, I love going.  It is fun, free drinks & food, a live performance {he killed it!} and celebrity sightings.   

Here are some pictures from the event.  Enjoy!

The hot Southern guy from 90201

I was most upset about not talking to him at the party.  I was standing next to him at the bar and thought he looked familiar, but didn't say anything.  I think it might be a good thing because I would have started crying about Friday Night Lights being over. haha

Super short!  

I am 5'6 + 5 inch heels and I towered over him.

I did talk to the guy on the right.  He was the hot guy from Mean Girls.  My sister in law was in Van Wilder 2 with him a couple years ago.  Super nice guy!

Over all it was a fun night out with lots of champagne!

What I'm Loving

Happy Hump Day!

I'm LOVING how small Hollywood feels. I can't go into too much detail because I don't know if this will happen or not, but let's just say if you put it out there it will come back to you.  I love that we have friends who work on random movie/commercial/tv shows because you never know who they are going to meet and who you might be hanging out with the following week.

I'm LOVING how busy we are this November!  It is turning out to be our busiest month this year.  I guess it is good prep for when we go home for Christmas.

I'm LOVING Felicity is streaming on Netflix.  Sunday I finished Friday Night Lights and cried.  I needed a new show to fill this void.  In high school I would watch Felicity here and there, but never consistently.  I am starting from the beginning.  Four episodes down, 81 to go.

I'm LOVING my in-laws are coming into town next week.  MG's dads company is HQ'ed out here so they visit twice a year.  Perfect timing to be here to celebrate MG's 30th bday!

I'm LOVING our office has a gym.  Most of my work friends have found new jobs at different companies and I don't want to eat lunch by myself so I have turned to the gym.  I think it is the perfect pick me up to get me through my day.

I'm LOVING I am down 1.8 lbs this week at Weight Watchers.

I'm LOVING crock pot meals.  The last thing I want to do when I get home from work is cook.  Last week I made baked potatoes in the crock pot and they turned out perfectly.  I will only cook them this way from now on.  Tonight we are making a pork shoulder for tacos and BBQ platters.

I'm LOVING work events.  Once every other month I get invited to the events our team puts on with magazines.  Tomorrow night is a GQ party in Hollywood.   It is a fun way to spend the evening and see the new it clubs.

What are you loving this week?

Too Funny

I thought this was way too funny not to post.  

I am just not a fan of her. 

Her claim to fame is a sex tape with Moesha's brother after all.

America now is your time to rise up and turn your backs on this reality star. 

She has taken enough of your time.

I beg of you, please say goodbye, please:)
