Weekly Update:
Went to a premiere on Thursday but the evening was kind of a bust. The VERY few talent that were there, I have already met before so no new pictures. But the evening wasn't a complete loss because I got to hang out with my good buddy Will and that made it well worth it. We didn't go see the movie but tried out this Mexican place for some appetizers that were amazing! But after-party was at a cool place too but got very crowded very fast as they all do.
On Saturday I went to a charity event or part of it. It was our Young Variety 4th Annual Hollywood Bowl event and the show that evening was the Sound of Music Sing-a-Long. I didn't stay for the movie but just went to the pre-picnic which was SO FARGIN HOT but the food was awesome!! The beef brisket with the sauce was good but would you believe the vegetarian pasta was my favorite?! I know!! CRAZY! But you pick out the big chunks of mushrooms and its perfect with the sauce, penne and spinach. The sauce was the kicker because it was a white cream but was not heavy at all. An exceptional caterer was ended up using and I hope we use them again for any future events requiring catering.At the movies:
Not a very eventful weekend at the box office as the numbers will show. In at #1 is the long awaited sequel Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps with 19 million and do not think we will see any awards going towards this one this time. At #2, WB perhaps trying to find their next Harry Potter series with Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole with 16.3 million ... wow, that title is WAY too long! Slight drop to #3 is "The Town" with another 16 mil. Dropping down to #4 is "Easy A" with 10.7 mil. Rounding off the top 5 is a new one ... You Again with its all star cast only bringing in 8.3 mil.

Other News:This is kind of an interesting list ... according to Marketwatch, the top 10 most expensive markets to live according to average house listing. In at #10 - Santa Barbara, CA - average home listing is 1.02 million but its basically a coastal town. #9 - Honolulu, HI - chimes in with 1.03 million. #8 - Pasadena, CA - another CA city with 1.04 million. #7 - Wellesley, MA - no nothing about this area but average cost is 1.08 million. #6 - Greenwich, CT - I think I have been here before many years ago but don't remember it. Greenwich comes in at 1.20 million. #5 - La Jolla, CA - heading toward San Diego this town comes in at 1.21 million. #4 - San Francisco, CA - surrounded by water, this city's average is 1.33 million. #3 - Rye, NY - no clue but it actually ties for #4 at 1.33 million. #2 - Palo Alto, CA - nice area at 1.48 million. The #1 most expensive area (based on average housing cost) in the United States is ... Newport Beach, CA at 1.83 million. I can believe this since I have seen many multi-million dollar homes so 1.83 seems low. Looking at this list, 6 out of the 10 are cities in California and 5 out of that 6 are basically Southern California too ... wow.
