My Three-Day Weekend

Went to see "District 9" last night in the big Graumann's Chinese Theater with my friends Essay, writer Kevin Williamson and porn star Jason King (pictured here). Interesting to say the least! A lot of passion put into the movie and a throw back with the puppetry and low-budget sets to the original "Star Wars" I thought in many ways. But still, really silly and unintentionally funny at points. Definitely will be a cult classic I'm sure and "District 10" is no doubt on the way. This was the second movie I saw this week actually, as I also caught "Final Destination 3D" with Essay, Paul Kingrey, Kabbalah Nick and Andy Kirra earlier in the week. If you're in Los Angeles, you should definitely see it at the Mann's Chinese 6 in Hollywood if you get the chance. They have the D-Box seats there that buzz to scare you and move with the motion of the movie. The concept was originally employed by horror movie maker William Castle (with lesser technology) for movies like "House on Haunted Hill" and "The Tingler." I always wished I'd been alive to see those theatrical releases with all their gadgetry, so this was a real thrill for me!

Chi Chi LaRue is back from New Orleans. We went shopping at The Grove this afternoon and had lunch at this great Greek restaurant there that I don't remember liking in the past but this time the food was SO GOOD!

Tonight I'm bringing the porn stars to invade karaoke night at MJ's Bar where I'll be co-hosting from 10:00 pm - 2:00 am! Performances by Rob Romoni, Jason King, Vance Winter, Spencer Whitman, Tristan Mathews and of course yours truly are in store for those looking for a fun, low-key evening to end your three-day holiday weekend!

Happy Labor Day!
