the most magical world

Artur, Joanna, Fong, Alexis , Crystal and I were hosted at THE MAGIC CASTLE by the wonderful and magical Ruben Padilla and his lovely lady Carrie Specht, where we spotted my girl-crush Christina Hendricks. After enjoying a lovely dinner and an evening of insane, mind-blowing magic (which was especially mind-blowing for Mouse, who was "upset" because his scientific mind couldn't figure out the tricks), I can now say that the amazing Magic Castle is now tied with the Museum of Jurassic Technology for best place in LA.

It's Terry Winningham's birthday, and we love him, and thus we don't mind dragging ass ALL THE WAY downtown to celebrate at a bar/pool hall where the patrons are patted down by security and which is decorated with mug shots from famous celebrities throughout time. Strangely, though most of the innocuous-looking dudes were frisked, Terry--carrying a pool cue in a case that looked like it held a rifle--was not.

beginnings and no endings

The Meghan Davis and Jason Mercer wedding in Palm Springs was very lovely, very stylish, very hip....hand-crafted cocktails (mmm) and Mexican buffet and a beautiful laced-and-leaf-haired bride and very hot sun and very intimidatingly cool video montages abounded. And while I'm unpleased that Artur and I didn't get to stay in the rented house with most of the USC people, what with the awkwardness of my ex-boyfriend staying in said house...I am EQUALLY pleased that the scheduled rapture / end of the world didn't happen.
