FiTC

I meant to post about FiTC Hollywood since I got back and just never took advantage of my time beyond recuperating my voice and getting some rest. And playing with my babies (both Libs AND Declan)

So here're some highlights;

Hanging out playing poker til 1 am with Chris Allen, Tom from AOL, Beau Ambur, Danny from Metaliq (which I pronounce "maytaleek", to make it sound a little french) Shawn and gMunk.

Trading witticisms with Eric Miranda from Ming Dynasty. I swear that guy channels Henny Youngman, but he has a guitar instead of a fiddle.

Sitting and chatting with Josh and Shawn til 7:30 am. Good times.

Hanging out with Jason from MediaTemple on a visiting run to one of his buddy's apartments for a beer or three. Then playing a horrific prank on Pucknell involving drinking and driving, an accident, Jason's death, a dead hooker and a bag of coke. God that was funny. Then trying the same prank on Josh not realizing he was sitting next to Puck.

Seeing John Grden rock out the Rush using his digital drumpads, a midi connection, Red5 Flash Server and Flash.

Losing my voice one day at a time.

Mario Klingemann and his wife are lovely people.

Ron Gervais celebrated his 30th in LA.

Grant and Bobi are still my vote for nicest Edmontonians I know.

Not having the voice to speak to Jennifer Shiman from 30 second Bunnies although I had lots to say and ask.

Having a nice, quiet drink with Robert Reinhardt my first night there.
