Summertime BBQ ... or anytime BBQ, its all good!

So last year and the year before that, I use to visit the Fox lot over the summer every friday because they had a BBQ going on and it was great! There was the standard fare of hotdogs, hamburgers and then every week the third meat would change. It could be carne asada one week and then chicken another, once it was fried fish which went great as a fish taco. Now that I actually work on the lot, they change the rules and have it once every two weeks!!! What's the deal here?!?! So now I can't enjoy a great BBQ every Friday and sometimes when they do have it, chances have not been favorable and I have missed at least 2 BBQ's due to lunch meetings ... so sad, very bummed (photo above is not the lot bbq).

Weekly Recap:
I went to another collector's convention type thing for Hollywood memorabilia ... its a nice geek-fest to attend and they have them about 3 to 4 times a year. Various B to D list celebrities, some repeats but mostly different and/or new. It sure does vary a lot in genres of entertainment too. From TV to movie, soap opera to wrestling, horror to sci-fi ... it's quiet a collection, almost a must see. I was able to snap some shots with:

Debbie Reynods- (Singin in the Rain) CLASSIC!
Bruce Boxleitner- (Tron, Babylon 5) very cool!
Cindy Morgan- (Tron) very nice!
Linda Blair- (Exorcist) great person!
Ray Park- (Darth Maul, Toad from X-Men) Extremely nice guy
Daniel Logan- (Boba Fett from Episode II) Nice kid
Marc Singer- (V tv mini-series and Beastmaster) Very friendly
Richard Herd- (V tv mini-series) Very nice
Fred Dryer- (Hunter tv series) Tall and nice!
Stephanie Kramer- (Hunter tv series) very sweet
Steven Williams- (21 Jumpstreet) very cool!
Terry Kiser- (Weekend at Bernie's) Still ALIVE, haha
Herb Jefferson Jr- (Boomer on Battlestar Galactica original series) Nice
Kevin McCarthy- (many credits) sweet man
Ken Osmond- (Eddie Haskel from Leave it to Beaver) cool guy

At the movies:
No surprised that "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest" takes first in its second week of release digging up another 62.2 million with a 10-day total of over 255 mil. Debuting in the #2 spot is Sony's Little Man with a sizeable 21.7 mil. Crowding its way to the #3 spot is You, Me and Dupree squeezing in 21.3 mil. Still flying high is "Superman Returns" in the #4 spot with an additional 11.6 mil and rounding off the top 5 is "The Devil Wears Prada" with an extra 10.5 mil.

Q & A:
None at this time.

Other News:
Can no one get along in the Middle East? Talk about an all out war going on between Israel and Beirut. Granted Beirut has been a hotbed of activity for so long and now its full scale bombings, artillery and missles ... yet when I watch the news there seems to be next to nothing on coverage. I thought Hezbollah was considered one of the top 10 terrorist organizations out there but I am not certain how high on the list it is. Again the US sits on the sidelines, probably working on sanctions when this and South Korea are VERY visible and openly bigger threats than Iraq was at its peak! But, this is coming from a president who hasn't a clue that a microphone would be on during a MEDIA/PRESS event and swears on air to Tony Blair (not AT him mind you).

Facts & Tips:
Mt. Katahdin in Maine is the 1st place in the US to get sunlight each morning.

"If you're gonna steal from Terry Benedict, you'd better goddamn know. This sort of thing used to be civilized. You'd hit a guy, he'd whack you, done. But with Benedict... at the end of this, he'd better not know you're involved, not know your names, or think you're dead. Because he'll kill you, and then he'll go to work on you."- Elliot Gould as Reuben Tishkoff in "Ocean's Eleven
