OSCAR PARTY 411
hey all...i've been missing putting this out...but it wasn't all that eventful
and with everything else i am doing outside of autograph collecting, i haven't had time to punch any of this up...but i was out for oscar night and it was fairly well....dissappointing. (to me at least) i went to the big vanity fair party...and unlike last year- there were like a million people there...but it was fun... the cops were out in force making it difficult for me and my team to drag all our stuff out there (having to walk 5 blocks with my crates was extremely difficult) and kept the crowd at a more than needed distance(i'd rail about how stupid security has gotten at these events, but that would be longer than my report) as we watched the oscars on a small tv (which i took back to circuit city because the screen went black for the biggest awards) all were excited.... there were like a million people there and kept showing up more and more all night as there was another party within walking distance.. the arrivals were real good when we spotted people like kirk douglas and his wife show....but he was unable to walk across the street just to sign autographs.. and orlando bloom showed up with kate bozworth in hand- also not coming over either...in fact, if the celebrities showed up in a limo and/or didn't walk to the other party- the celebrities didn't sign all night. except for hillary swank who was the only person to go out of her way to sign all night. but we did get some good people.. many people were real cool about signing...as people started walking from one party to the next we saw anne hathaway, molly simms, katie holmes (who signed a ton- getting away from her real horrible signing reputation...but alec baldwin did not (keeping his horrible track record up to date.) huge dissappointment of the evening was sir ian mckellan who has been exclaiming that he is no longer signing- send it to his agency (which i am not sending lotr posters with multiple signatures in the mail to get a secretarial or a stamp) he's gotten so horrible i am talking about tobey maguire alert. people like christina applegate, djimon honsou and robin williams, andy serkis, nick stahl signed for everyone who wanted one (and trust me, there were alot of autographs signed)... not to rail too much, but the party is in a VERY GAY neighborhood- and many of the gay men kept telling-not just the regular collectors but everyone- that they did not need these people's autographs...but when both diego luna (he of dirty dancing 2 fame) and carson of queer eye for the straight guy showed up...they were the first people to SWARM these guys for autographs (EVERYONE, it turns out,is quite the hypocrite). all in all it was a good night...also on the really dissappointment side...now that charlize has won the oscar- SHE'S going to become the monster. as she was horrible about signing before (occassionally, when the cameras were there or her mom was- she was nice, but she's been real bad for a few years now) she looked absolutely horrified to be asked to sign now. running away from collectors - when on the other side of a fence no less. it's going to be bad with her for a while i believe. should i report about the independant spirit awards too? or does anyone care? that's it for now...graphracker was there for a while too. but the party lasted for quite a while and i went to another party that night and didn't get home till 5 am. hope you liked the report... |

should i report about the independant spirit awards too? or does anyone
care? Not only "Yes" but "Hell Yes!" Please keep the in-person reports coming Barefoot. You and Kevin both. It's what keeps me coming back to this group time after time is in hopes of seeing more in-person reports, especially the LA ones - good or bad reports. I know there are more in-person people that visit this group for we contact each other back channels everyonce in a while. I know they love the reports as well. Thanks, JC |

Thanks for the report, I enjoyed it. And write others for anything you may
attend, no matter how small you feel it might be...some of us like this "behind the scenes" stuff, I know I do, so keep it coming.. Kelly |

I always love hearing about stuff like this to. How was Tom at the IS awards?
You know I spent a long time trying to get Stuart Townsend. When I finally met him IP he said he was 'really busy' and didn't get to read his fan mail often. Of course he could be taking a page from his g-f. But he did sign for me, although the signature is really bizarre...like a huge circle. |

I agree, your posts (and kevins) are one of the reasons why I keep
coming back- keep the stories coming! I'm only able to meet some smaller stars (sometimes big) each year and can only dream of what it would be like collecting in a hotspot like California or New York. Hopefully one day I'll be able to check it out! Have you (or has anyone else for that matter) ever had experiences with Jim Carrey, I was just wondering what he is like in person.

Barefoot. That is so cool. I wish i lived in Hollywood as well. But at the same
time, I have a job and all and wouldn't have that much time to put in. I've never asked, do you see Kevin Smith, Jason Mewes or any other view askew people out in Hollywood? I hear Kevin lives there full time now (used to be a east coaster) and that Jason is living in his house so as to have like a fater figure help him overcome his serious drug habit. Are those guys around a lot? And Kevin is going to direct the new "Green Hornet" movie. So he's going to be hot. Do you ever hear of people like Mariyln Ghilotti, Jeff Anderson, Lisa Spoonhauer or any of the people from Kevin's original movie "CLERKS" around either. Just wondering, thanks for the posts- keep 'em coming. |

yeah...everyone has to pay the bills huh?
well, kevin smith and jason mewes are super super nice...they sit around and talk and sign for a long time. they are very nice.. i am looking for jeff anderson and his wife lisa spoonhauer too to finish my clerks poster (love that stuff myself) i never see any people from clerks...marilyn has a website...but don't know what it is. she was in a voiceover workshop with me a while back. very cool. all of them- brian, jeff, and lisa were at the jay and silent bob strike back premiere a few years back...and i didn't have the foresight to start the clerks poster then...my stupidity i guess. but oh well, the collection is what i work for myself...i just get enough autographs to keep going after the collection so to speak. |
