I just came back from the film I worked on called "Open Season" starring Ashton Kutcher (Elliot), Martin Lawrence (Boog), Debra Messing (Ellen), and Gary Sinise (Shaw) .

It was a fun event with lots of food, games, music, stars, paparazzi, and a screening of the film!

I went with my wife to the Greek Theater, which is an outdoor theater, and really enjoyed the film! I was surprised cuz I was thinking it was just going to be on "okay" kid's movie, but I was cracking up out loud from begining to end as well as the other guests.

I'll definitely watch it again and tell people to go check it out! It's hilarious! If you're still in the theater, my name appears at the end under "Character Modeler" about 3-5 minutes into the credits.

The pix aren't as exciting as the Playboy Mansion Party I posted up a while back, but the event was pretty cool none the less! I pretty much pigged out on dessert and won stuffed animals of Boog, Elliot, and Dinkleman for the wifey...

Here are some pix:

What a blast that looked to be! My girlfriend and I have plan to see it, too .

 

You'd think they could of done something with that dirt median. Looks kinda ghetto.

 

Yeah, it was all outdoors and the food, games, and such was a this huge parking lot.... I guess not many people throw parties there. They should have at least covered it up or something.
