Picked up registration for ShowCanada (finally) and now at Disney presentation for “Up” and “The Proposal”.
Headed to Show Canada in Montreal. My flight is only half full. I wonder if people aren’t traveling due to the swine flu.
Finally was able to get off the plane in Denver to make connecting flight to Montreal by mere seconds. I bet my luggage won’t make it.
Sure enough my bag didn’t make the flight to Montreal. It will arrive on the same flight tomorrow - 36 hours from now. Oh joy.
Think I’m going to miss connecting flight to Montreal because there are no free gates at the Denver airport to let us off the first flight.
My 4-year-old really is learning something at preschool. She just dropped an “F___ You” bomb and claims some kid at school was saying it.
It’s amazing that the Los Angeles Dodgers have already won 11 games. Now if they can just win 90 more…
National Lampoon tells you how to interview celebrities with your shirt off. Don’t try this at home. - http://bit.ly/arQHB
Screenwriter Paul Laverty and I were emailing back and forth yesterday and he told me his film “Looking For Eric” will be in Cannes!
The Cannes Film Festival has announced their official selections for this year’s eveny. - http://bit.ly/Ah8Pf
Susan Boyle would never be allowed on “American Idol”. Her performance on “Britains Got Talent” makes for terrific TV. - http://bit.ly/jZ8Yo
The Cure played for at least 2.5 hours last night at Coachella. Despite all their past hits I hardly recognized any songs. Kinda mediocre.
I got no cell service at Coachella yesterday. Saw Peter Bjorn and John (better than expected) and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs (who were great).
Band of Horses was absolutely brilliant. Don’t know what the deal is with all these Coechella bands with beards, but at least they’re good.
Between Paul McCartney and Leonard Cohen I think Coachella set a record for number of festival goers over the age of 55 last night.
Okkervil River dressed for Seattle, performed in the desert at Coachella. They sounded good… and sweaty. Cell service is crap here!
Fleet Foxes just wrapped their mellow set at Coachella. If you closed your eyes you were transported instantly to 1968.
Michael Franti & Spearhead have the crowd jumping to reggea in front of the main stage at Coachella. They’re great.
Glasvegas’ Coachella set was canceled due to a band member’s illness. TV On The Radio was surprisingly less than mediocre.
http://twitpic.com/3m13w - Paolo Nutini plays some new songs @Coachella showing off how talented a performer he is.
Paul McCartney put on a two hour show @Coachella last night. I think he played every tune in the Beatles’ song book.
It took 3 hours to drive to Indio for Coachella and 3 hours to park the car and walk in. Frustrating and absurd. Crappy cell service too!
The Ting Tings performed an amazing set in the Sahara tent at Coachella. Franz Ferdinand sounded great on the mainstage as the sun set.
Leonard Cohen put on a solid show @Coachella last night. Beirut was unbelievably brilliant. A really great band.
http://twitpic.com/3k2jo - Joss Stone performed a soulful set @Coachella that was a real crowd pleaser.
It took three hours to drive out to the desert in Indio for the Coachella Music & Arts Festival. But at least I made it.
That every year 140,000 people come to Coachella and that every year they seem to handle be surprised by the traffic is completely idiotic.

PromoTracks from artists performing at the festival. Use it to make a nice playlist for your trek down to the desert.
I’m really looking forward to seeing Airborne Toxic Event perform live at Coachella this weekend. ♫ http://blip.fm/~4a0x5
I’m finally signing up for a Blip.fm account. Yet another social network app to contend with… or to forget about after three weeks.
Back at the passport office. If I don’t leave with a passport, I’ll have to cancel the large check I just wrote the govt to pay my taxes.
Waited more than the designated hour to pick up my passport at the passport office and it isn’t ready. They can’t tell me when it will be.
I was just told I have to wait an hour for my 10:00 AM appointment at the passpoert office. No wonder they work behind bullet proof glass!
I’m sure my taxes will be audited for saying this but, there must be a law the federal govt has to hire people with an IQ lower than 75.
Me: “When will my passport be ready?” Woman behind bullet proof glass at passport office: “Almost.” Me: “what time?” Woman: “Today.”

Leave it to the U.S. Govt that by the time they finally issue you a passport all you want to do is change your citizenship.

I’m really looking forward to seeing Airborne Toxic Event perform live at Coachella this weekend.
As a child I used to love spring break. As an adult with two toddlers in preschool… not so much.
Apparently I didn’t submit enough documentation to the U.S. Govt for them top issue me a passport. Have to make a third trip. I hate them.

Passport office just asked if I have anything other than social security card, driver’s license and old passport to prove identity. Um, no!
Went to Muvico’s new 14-plex out in Thousand Oaks, CA to see “Monsters vs. Aliens”. The theater is amazing.
Did you download “X-Men Origins” from the Internet and watch it (or plan to watch it)? If so, w…: http://socialtoo.com/survey/view/2485
If I go missing make sure to check for me at the Los Angeles Passport Agency where the State Department has had me captive all day.
I am finally starting to contact all the old acquaintances I’ve been meaning to get back in touch with for so long now.
We’re going to have some exciting news to report over at Celluloid Junkie (@celluloidjunkie) very shortly. Stay tuned!
Trade shows like ShoWest are great and all, but catching up on the backlog of work the week after is never much fun.
