So, this past Saturday the Filmmaker House held it's first ever Red Carpet World Premiere! "My Struggle" was (finally) screened in a little indy hole called the Silent Movie Theatre. www.silentmovietheatre.com (thankful plug). In anticipation of the great event the House extended their screening invitations to those most beloved to them: their family. Andy's mother, Peter's mother, and My Mommy all flew in, and- for a few sweet, short days- the beloved servants of the Filmmaker House were graced by the presence of their Queens. My most memorable moment was waking up at 6 am Friday morning and wondering were my mother was, only to look through the windows to the front yard where my mom was standing IN THE RAIN WASHING MY CAR WHILE WEARING MY LEOPARD PRINT PAJAMAS.
My Mommy and Peter's Mommy. :)
On a small side note, I saw something interesting while picking up my mother from LAX on thursday night. A truck was sitting in front of me in traffic, and while my imagination swam me through schools of Ford Fish, my eyes noticed something quite funny. Take a look:
Anywhoo... Here are some pics from the screening. If anyone would like a copy of the movie just email me your address and I'd be happy to send you one :) Oh! A nice surprise was waiting for me the day of the screening! One of my BEST FRIENDS EVER was there! CHAU! AND BABY MARIKO!!!! AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Geez... I hadn't seen her in 5 years. Lucas (her husband) had driven 6 HOURS to get to the screening. ISN'T THAT SWEET?! HI CHAU!!!
Me and Chau!
August introduces the film.
The directors and Dan answer questions.
It was a whole lotta fun. A good amount of people showed up, and we got some pretty great reviews. Afterwards everyone came to our house for drinks and conversation by the fire (YES! WE HAVE A CHIMNEY!) and Jake beat all us kids pretty badly at Mario Kart 64.
Afterwards I showed Mommy around LA. I tried real hard to show her the "Hollywood" side of it, but we mostly gravitated towards the Filipino parts. We ate 2 different filipino restaurents 3 times in the 3 days that she was here! AWESOME!
MMmmm... barbeque and fried squid....
Mommy was so excited about getting food from Goldilocks that she could hardly pose for this picture :)

*sigh*
Well guys... happiness never lasts forever. After Mommy left on Sunday (we went to a filipino church in the morning!) Erick left the next day. He has a possible job in Peru, so for the next few months he will be living there. I'm happy for him, but at the same time I'm pretty sad. He was fun to be around. I miss you Erick! You AND the Captain :)
Erick's gone :(
WE NEED ROOMMATES.
Anywhoo. So you could say he bit the dust. OR I could tell you that I got upgraded at E! Entertainment from temp employee to full-time freelancer and you can tell me who REALLY bit the dust. Bye bye delicious freedom, hello corporate enslavement. Is money really all that important?
Mommy- don't answer that.
