Flaked

Ok, so I completely flaked the WeHo SnB Party. I had planned on going, even had cookies baked (but no costume) and bagged it.

DJ texted me late Thursday with an invite to go to the Arclight Theatre. I really didn't get what it was for, but after some further discussion, I realized it was to be a stand in "fan" for the opening of Lions for Lambs.

It was too L.A. for me to pass up.

So we headed out and weathered the hour of traffic to get to Hollywood (from Santa Monica mind you, not a far drive, but the traffic here is nuts) at 4pm. Got to the Arclight, stood around and had no clue what to do.

Finally figured it out and stood in line to get a wristband and get escorted to an area that was blocked off (yes for "fans").

After more waiting we finally saw some real live Hollywood celebrities. Please note, I was only equipped with my iPhone and I am very, very short, so I got no good pics. I stole DJs (since he is about a foot taller and had a zoom Cannon)

Here is Tom and Katie. She had on VERY flat shoes, but she looked lovely.


And here is Mr. Will Smith, for JP.


He seemed to dig the red carpet, was out there for a while

And for my crap-o-tastic photos: We waited around FOREVER for Meryl Streep and Robert Redford. This is the glimpse we got:

In case you were wondering what you were looking at, that is the back of their heads...engulfed in lights.

Hey, I love me some Redford and Streep so it was worth it.

Also, know who this chick is? She looked oddly familiar.............



After some discussion with my neighbor, we realized she was the teacher in "Clueless". I know you were wondering.

After our big red carpet experience, we had a late dinner at Tito's Tacos...................very tasty.

We plan on using the$25 certificate to Arclight soon. Not a bad reimbursement for standing around for a few hours.
