Vampires, Rollercoasters, and Famous Cheerleaders

It's been a fun action packed week! I had to share some of these photos before the weekend hits and I'm too busy to blog!

Wednesday night I met up with Jordan to go to Declare Yourself, a party centered on getting young people to vote. It was at The Green Door, one of the hotter nightclubs in Hollywood.
The Paparazzi went CRAZY for Hayden Panatierre. Jessica Alba was supposed to be there too but I don't think she showed. Hayden's like a lil person...
I had to practically get on my knees for the photo. Ahhh, actors. She co-hosted the evening.

Danity Kane performed...
This one.... uhm... the 'less' whorish one, kept staring. Yeah... Hi. They sounded pretty good live, and only psuedo lipsynced some bits. :)
Aubrey O'Day, the 'really' whorish one, moves like a stripper on stage. It's impressive.
They performed Damaged and everyone squealed. Such a good song!

I had a blast hanging with Jordan, I haven't been able to see him much lately do to his habit of flying all over the world constantly. :)

Tonight I went to the opening of Knott's Scary Farm (Knott's Berry Farm converts into a full on Halloween theme, complete with actors and haunted mazes everywhere), thanks to my friend Vince. His friend Stephen organizes it, and we met up with Robb and Tanya - fun group!!
We of course started the night with a haunted buffet - and yes, they had people roaming around scaring you. Several items of food hit the floor, and in our group - I won't say who - but someone lost both a brownie and a chicken leg due to being scared. :D

Tanya was my rollercoaster buddy! We road some of them twice, and didn't throw up!*
*Much
I may have thrown up before in anticipation.
Kidding! FINE! GO! WOO!

I was so impressed how many actors they had. Hundreds were roaming around EVERYWHERE. As you walk along, you frequently get spooked. They had metal clasps in their gloves they could smack to make sound, it was really freaky! The makeup ranged from masks to amazing. There were at least 8 haunted houses, and they were WAY better then anything I've ever been in before. It was really fun and genuinely scary!!
This freaky clown took a liking to Vince and followed him... for awhile. It wasn't weird till we realized IT WAS A FREAKING CLOWN AND ALL CLOWNS SHOULD BURN IN THE FIERY DEPTHS OF.... ahem. Scuse me.
This rollercoaster was so full of AWESOME! The cars were shaped like freaking PONIES! The only way it could have been better is if they were unicorns! Yay!

Now, an important part of any holiday and theme park is complete crap and nutrionless, guilt laden crap food. We did our part to continue this:
DIPPIN' DOTS!
Corn dogs!

And other things I didn't take pictures of, cuz the grease would have hurt my lens.
Horrible photo on my part, but this chick rocked. She was walking with like a dozen bird cages ... and... well it was cool.
Did I mention I'm betrothed? She's a lil older, a lil deader, but she doesn't say much, which is nice. She's also voting for Obama, McCain "gives her scary oldperson nightmares". Go figure.
Did I mention that following Tanya was amazing? In ALL the haunted houses, I and the other guys rarely got picked on... they always ALWAYS singled out 'the blonde girl'. :) Good times!

She even made friends with a ... thing who had a rat in his mouth. Yeah, he flicked the rat tail on her a few times... it was like some kind of cute courtship.
We had a blast, and I highly recommend going! Thanks to Stephen for organizing the whole night and Knotts for making such a fun mix - zombies, horror, mazes, roller coasters, and junk food. It doesn't get much better then that!

A night worthy of a Hero(es)

So last night was freaking amazing... the utterly cool Trent invited Mike and I to come to the premiere of It's A Mall World at The Arclight. It was so much fun! I went celeb crazy. And I do mean crazy. Even more then normal. We were like a bunch of kids at Disneyland... I don't think 5 minutes went by where we weren't like "OMG! It's blah blah! OMG!". I was actually impressed by our collective movie and tv knowledge.

"It's Blah Blah! Last seen in the 2001 movie Bla blah Blah! Was married to blah blah for 3 years!" "OMG! Is blah blah with blah blah... blah? Slut." ;) We were like freaking IMDB live. All I can say is, I know who I'm taking with me to World Series of Pop Culture! We'd clean house!Sexy mood lighting! Rowr! Unfortch my apparent clown face doesn't quite work... altho I did scare some kids.

This is the first (read: pre-alcohol) pic we took at the arclight Cinemarama dome. It's a cool theater!
Trent's shirt rules....
Mike's friend Lindsay was there, she was so nice and cool!

OK first celeb pic: Masi Oka, who plays Hiro!
I am gonna have to pace you guys here. There's a LOT to cover.

The afterparty was at the ultra cool (god, I need to stop using ultra, I'm seriously dating myself here... hi, stuck in the early 90's, party of 1, your table in the dark corner alone with the booze is available) Cabana Club in Hollywood! It's a very South Beach ish feeling place. Tons of free food (mall themed, of course) and drinks! Pretty much guaranteeing a good night at that point.
Zachary Quinto! He was so nice, I got to talk to him for a bit and he's a way cool guy. He was hilarious on So Notorious, the rarely seen show on VH1 so it's been great to see him propel his career into Heroes and now Spock in the new JJ Abrams Star Trek movie.
Fo shizzle T-Lizzle! And yes, Trent grew approximately 7 inches taller that night.
It's a Mall World, son!

I've thought Adrian Pasdar rocked ever since Profit on Fox, before they so cruelly canceled it (Damn you Fox!) He and Leonard Roberts (who plays DL) were so friendly, they asked our names and shook our hands. Adrian is married to the amazing Natalie Maines (lead singer of the Dixie Chicks), which makes them both that much cooler. I'm amazed I didn't drool on myself a little when talking to them.
OK, so maybe I did, but I'm fairly certain drool didn't actually REACH them. Jeeze.
Natalie was SO sweet and nice! And PRETTY! I saw her coming and did a deer in the headlights thing was like "Tr... Trentttt... Natalie Maines is walking towards us!" :O :O
She TOTALLY waived at him and walked over to say hi! She was so cool. You think I'm gushing now... you shoulda seen me last night! Thank God I learned to wear diapers from those astronauts that chase each other over state lines.

Hollywood parties are so funny. Everyone is always looking up to see if a bigger star is around or who's talking to who... and there are so many beautiful people it's sorta odd. Everyone was pretty nice though.

Trent spotted Mercedes McNab in the crowd and, I think, kinda gasped. I was oblivious (I had popcorn in my hand, you know popcorn = oblivious to all) and he pointed her out and I totally did a double take. She played Harmony on all 7 seasons of Buffy & Angel, and being an insanely huge fan, we bothered her for a photo. Luckily later in the night we saw her and Joleigh Fioreavanti again (they star in the new movie Hatchet, September 7th!) and got more photos. We took one nice one - for the kid's, ya'll. For the kids.
And a drunken crazy wild photo!
LOL! So awesome! I don't know if I'm cheering or or doing the "Choot choot" train sound and honking sign, but whatever, I got to hug Harmony so I am going to be happy for like a week. Joleigh kissed me too and so now we are totally going out. Or married. Or something. Maybe we'll do rehab together, I dunno, but it's serious.

Lights! Palm trees! Booze! Agents! Action!

Jack Coleman, who plays Mr. Bennett on the show, was really nice and I have to admit I was a little disappointed he didn't wear glasses. I'm a GEEEEK!
BTW I hope you noticed that I did indeed wear an American Eagle shirt. I felt that since they were paying for the night the least I could do was help advertise their effort. I am pretty sure all the Heroes thought I was some AE intern who slept/begged/bribed/cried my way into the premiere. "But Daddy, I don't want a pony, I want to meet the Heroes!"
Shane West! He was pretty cool, I have to say everyone was really nice to us.

And of course, the man of the night, the multi-talented and surprisingly down to earth and normal movie & television star, and now director - Milo Ventimiglia! He spoke to us for awhile before returning to hang with his Entourage - his parents who were there to support him! Say it with me... "Awwwwwww". I have no doubt he has a very long career ahead of him in Hollywood, he's a smart guy who, I am happy to report, wasn't doing lines of coke all night.

So all in all it was an amazing night, I got a ton of great celeb photos, had a blast hanging with Mike and Trent, who are some of the coolest people in LA, and overall just had a blast. I don't think it gets any better then this!
OOHH YES! P.S. There was a photo booth, if I could figure out a way to make a living embarrassing myself I totally would! You heard me Paris, I'm moving into your territory, bitch! Kisses!
