What happened? It got warm! Ok, not really but it did heat up just a little bit. What is interesting is our weather in SoCali has been really great. Mostly clear skies, cooler than normal with nice breezes. I hear on the East coast this past week they were hammered with heat waves that were unusually warm setting new records not to mention the humidity. Then the Midwest gets hit with massive flooding but still remains on the warm side or high humidity ... what is going on here?Weekly Update:
On Friday I helped a friend out with a VERY independent movie called "Stan" that is still looking for distribution. Its a very dark comedy with a side of drama ... the humor is very off but its short. The event itself was pretty good with a nice turn out of celeb friends to support not necessarily the movie but the event. I called upon James Hong and Bill Chott and both showed up which was great! Plus getting to see the two of them again is always a treat for me. I did get to meet someone new there which is cool:
*Geoffrey Lewis - Best known from "Every Which Way But Loose" and "Any Which Way You Can", he is a sweet guy but a little disheveled.

According to AOL and their readers, they came up with a list of the top 7 vacation spots in the US or also known as the 7 Wonders of the US. Starting with #7: Gateway Arch, St. Louis, Missouri - Never been but I would put it on the list since it is probably the only cool thing to see there. #6: Biltmore, Ashville, North Carolina - A big estate based on the vision of George W. Vanderbilt ... never been but it looks nice. #5: Yellowstone National Park (pictured) - definitely one of the best natural landmarks in the US. #4: Longaberger Home Office, Newark, Ohio - It looks like a giant picnic basket! I have no idea what this business does but kudos to the design! #3: Government Bridge, Rock Island, Illinois - Its a bridge that isn't even that impressive. #2: Mount Rushmore National Memorial, Keystone, South Dakota - A great marvel and it definitely deserves to be on this list. #1 by the AOL readers is ... Coronado Performing Arts Center, Rockford, Illinois - really?? Some honorable mentions were Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming and Statue of Liberty, New York, New York. Both of these should have made the list over some stuff like the bridge and the the Biltmore. What about the Hollywood Bowl or the Golden Gate Bridge? How about Pearl Harbor Memorial or Niagara Falls? Grand Canyon would have been nice too. Big miss AOL readers on most of this list ... BIG miss!
