So the week in general was both busy and nice.  Some great and awesome breezes came and went but oh boy, the weekend got HOT and even humid!  I seriously felt like I was back in Florida during peak Summer time!  What is going on with this weather, I have no clue.  I mean, I guess its still Summer but we were doing so good with just slightly warm days and very nice nights.  But man, Saturday and Sunday were nothing but miserable and the forecast calls for continued heat through next week.  I so hope that is so so wrong because ... just don't need it!  I hope Winter is extra cold this year or tons of rain.  Something to compensate for all of this crazy heat we are having.

Weekly Update:
Was a pretty busy week but on Tuesday went to a special event for Stan Lee.  Loosely in the style of "This is Your Life" and brought some talent with me to help celebrate.  It was being broadcast in over 180 movie theatres coast-to-coast and also saw folks I knew and got to catch up as well.  Also it was at this really beautiful theatre in downtown, the Saban Theatre which felt very historic.  Also met some new great folks as well:

*Alan Tudyk - Known for many movies including "Rogue One" and the TV series "Firefly," awesome guy!
*Hal Sparks - I know him best from "Dude, Where's My Car?" and a super chill guy.
*Tom Bergeron - host from "Dancing with the Stars" and "America's Funniest Home Videos," really nice guy.
*Rza - from the Wu-Tang Clan and really chill.
*Pom Klementieff - recently from "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2" film and super sweet.

At the movies:
Not much of a weekend and may continue like this through Labor Day.  Holding ground at #1 is "The Hitman's Bodyguard" with another 10.1 mil as it does OK.  Holding at #2 is "Annabelle: Creation" with an extra 7.4 mil as it struggles to 100 mil but will likely fall short.  New at #3 is Leap! with 5 mil to open and about expectations.  Jumping up to #4 is "Wind River" as it expanded and gets 4.4 mil at the box office.  Not a big film and will likely dip next week.  Rounding off the top 5 is "Logan Lucky" with 4.4 mil and not so much luck on this one anymore.

New films that did not make the top 5:
Two of them this week, coming in at #8 is Birth of the Dragon with only 2.5 mil and slightly less then expectations but also not surprising at all.  In at #16 is All Saints with only 1.6 mil and also below expectations but no surprises either.
