Jenica's Rehearsal
Thursday night: The rehearsal!
Come on Jason, you know you want to marry her!

See? Happy & decked out in Bride & Groom gear

Jenica has her own Production Bible

Debbie (mother of bride), Brit (bridesmaid), & Kelly (maid of honor)

Eddie (groomsman) Jill, & Jerry (groom's parents)

Debbie made it down from Idaho for the big day! I was psyched to see her - haven't seen her since 1993!

Married - well, pretend-married, for now

Brian's Birthday
Brian's birthday! Headed out to a Mexican place in Manhattan Beach. There were at least a half-dozen Nintendo DS systems there... yes, grown adults playing video games all night long. I think someone had a baby at the other end of the table which offers a strange dichotomy.
Too engrossed to even drink

Video games on one end, baby-lovers on the other

Brian and his new pet rock, Billy

We ate, now back to the gaming

Kimmy hardly even stopped to eat

What?? You mean I LOST a round of Tetris??

The Accuracy Project
I worked a few days on set for a friend of mine, helping with a pilot he is shooting. I love love love working on set, despite long hours and lots of sun and heat. The shoot went really well - almost no problems whatsoever. Here are a few select photos from Day 2:
Trying to keep our talent shaded

Every show needs cute girls

I can't believe we wore the same outfit!

Maybe I should put on this T-shirt instead

Tricia's Visit - Day 3 & 4
Tricia's favorite food is Mexican food. Where can you get better Mexican food than Los Angeles? so we started out at Las Fuentes in Reseda.
After lunch we headed out to do the tourist thing in Hollywood. First, Hollywood & Highland.
I love taking photos of people taking photos. Call me a whore for post-modernism.

Tricia needed sunglasses. I suggested these.

She went with something a little less Elton John

Next we hit up a few cheesy souvenir shops. This bit of nihilistic graffiti was found on the floor of one of those shops:

Who knew Mountain Dew was so fun?

Cheeky souvenirs

Of course, the were holding the "Beerfest" premiere at Graumann's, so we couldn't get into the forecourt

This was as close as we could get:

I can name at least two things wrong with this tour company name

After Hollywood & Highland, we drove up into Hollywoodland to look at houses and take photos of the Hollywood sign. And I got to teach Tricia about "gun n' run" shooting

We drove through Beverly Hills to look at more mansions, then it was time for dinner at The Stinking Rose, where they season their garlic with food.
In the ladies lounge, we found this charming statue:

Tricia was excited - she wants a baby.

Looks pretty comfortable, right?

A kiss for good luck

I avoided the fertility god and instead played sultry on the velvet chaise

Tricia, David, and a lot of garlic

The four of us, plus the valet guy's thumb

On their last day in town, we only had time for lunch. They had never had Cuban food, so we went to El Rincon in Culver City, a fantastic little Cuban place (if you have only ever eaten at Versailles, you have not eaten Cuban food).
So this was our last shot of the weekend:

Tricia's Visit - Day 2
Our day started with brunch at the Daily Grill. Then Tricia and I split off from Dave. The girls went to the spa, and Dave went to the Reagan Library. sorry kids, no photos from the spa!
After that we met back up with Tim and had dinner at Gladstone's on the beach. Weirdly, I think that this is the first time I have actually walked on the beach since returning from the Bahamas, which was a year ago.
Tricia and the ocean!

Only Tim would sit in the sand in brand new pants and fancy boots.

From here to eternity

Oooh, pretty
