Are you having a laugh? Is he having a laugh?

(hummer, boy band stylez)

Due to popular demand(haha) i am Sunday night blogging. The past 5 or whatever days have been amazing, surreal and crazy. I'll start post vegas, Aight.

Wednesday - We get home from Vegas and crash out. Wake up later that night, hungry as shit, so Matt and I head to Sushi Dan but it's packed like a mofo. So we opt for the Hawaiin bbq place next door, it's terrible. Matt orders Mahi Mahi, it reminds of Bio Dome and further reminds me of Pauly Shore. What the fuck happened there?

Thursday - We have an interview this morning with Scott Russo from Unwritten Law. He comes over to our place and we shoot it in our lounge room, he's a cool dude and gives us a great interview. Then we are off to shoot a short joke message blah blah joke thing for Barry Dickens, our subject is a guy called Jim Morey(Nothing to do with Morey Bodyboards), we have no idea who he is but it turns out he used to manage Michael Jackson and Mariah Carey. Later on my friend Marnie picks me up in a white hummer to go and see LA band, I'm A Robot. The singer sounds like a cross between David Bowie and Jello Biafra in a full body suit. They were cool, Heath Ledger is standing next to us. Next we are off to a club called Teddys, it's only Dom, Marnie and I. Apparently this place is a real Hollywood hang out with lists and shit. Walk in and see Jessie McCartney. Then Zach Braff is chilling, i think of Rohan. Eric from Entourage must be following me because he is there aswell(yes, i know his real name is Kevin Connolly but i prefer "E") and then Dom cums in his pants when he meets his "hero" Vincent Gallo, who is good friends with Marnie. I get bored and we go home.

Friday - I wake up to a phone call from Tim Armstrong of Rancid/Transplants/Hell Cat fame. We are finally meeting up with him today at the Epitaph offices in Silverlake. We get ready and head to Silverlake to have lunch with Tim and Chris who runs Hell Cat Records. They take us to this amazing Vietmanese place, Tim is the coolest nicest person in the world. We speak about the film and he is really excited by the project. We just can't get over how cool Tim and Chris are. Hell Cat buys us lunch(Thanks Hell Cat). We then go back to the Epitaph offices and they give us some plastic bags and hook us up with a bunch of CD's and DVD's. They give us a grand tour and then Tim introduces us to Brett Gurewitz who owns Epitaph and plays in a little known band called Bad Religion. He is playing some of their new demos and they sound incredible, i ask if that's the recording and Brett says it's just a demo he did in the basement. It sounded HUGE. That night we head back to Teddys, except for Dom who is chilling out because he is going to Vegas at 7am. When we walk into the lobby, Kevin Bacon walks past us. We head into the club and see Allyson, who is helping us out with the film. She is chilling with Misha Barton and asks if i want to be introduced to her but i decline the offer. Sorry Misha maybe next time. We hang out here for awhile and buy US$14 Vodkas, this is fucking ridiculous. The club closes at 2am and we goto Pete from Fall Out Boys house. We arrive and he is leaving, we still hang out for awhile while Bruce Willis/Demi Moores daughter is chilling on the balcony by herself? We get tired and leave before Pete returns with his entourage. They just had a party or something, i can see our house from his mansion haha.

Saturday - I go and see the film MUSIC AND LYRICS. This movie has been a joke to us since we arrived because it's advertised EVERYWHERE, and we're like there is no way this is going to make money. Terrible name. Terrible poster. Terrible trailer. Turns out the cinema is sold out and the movie is fucking great. Hugh Grant is funny. That night we are off to a club called Area which is another one of those Hollywood only kinda places, no cover charge, no lines, but if you're not on a list you are not getting in. There are lots of people hanging around outside the club including an army of paparazzi. We find our way to the door girl, who knows we are coming and she lets us into the club. I feel cool for 1.5 minutes before getting in and realizing it's another place that has $12 vodkas. Sigh. Anyway we chill out at the bar, Matt meets Aaron Carter(?) and i see the drummer from 'that thing you do', which is a dope movie. We hang almost until close and then goto In and Out Burger for some late night snacks. I fall asleep watching 'Kiss Kiss Bang Bang'.

Sunday - I don't feel inspired today. It's a long weekend in America and we don't have any interviews for a few days. I get up at Midday and everyone is asleep. So i clean the house and then start editing the Barry Dickens piece and start work on my first trailer. I don't get far. We go for lunch at the Best Western diner on Highland where Chalker and Matt spot somebody from some movie. But i don't fucking know what they're talking about. We then goto Mayfair market, where Matt secretly puts a home pregnancy kit in Chalkers basket and Chalker almost buys it without knowing before Matt lets him in on the joke. Fucking hilarious. We get home and watch 'Extras' which is quickly becoming my favourite show. Holy shit season 2 is amazing and we have all adopted the catchphrase 'Are you having a laugh? is he having a laugh?', it brings me to tears every time. Tonight we go and see Silverchair at the El Ray, it's one of 2 sold out nights. The El Ray is a modest venue and it's so awesome to see Silverchair play in a room like this, which is probably a little bigger than the Gaelic Club but is a much nicer and intimate feel. They play great and the crowd loves them. It's also Ben's birthday. Happy Birthday Ben Gillies. We contemplate going out but kinda feel burnt and sleep could be good for us at this stage. I stay in and do this blog. Dom gets back from Vegas with Rollerblades(?), I don't think he got the memo that Rollerblades stopped being cool about 3 weeks after they were released on the market in 1991. And no they are no ironic. Bye Bye Bye.

PS - This week i decided to buy some CD's i bought the greatest hits from Boyz 2 Men, Backstreet Boys and N'Sync. Shut the fuck up.
