Saturday was a rather unique day for me.

I met lots of family for breakfast at the Farmer's Market on Fairfax. What are the chances that we'd all be together in Los Angeles, and meet for crepes and fresh squeezed orange juice. Rob and Andy are brothers, and my cousins, that grew up in San Antonio. Andy was there with his wife Maria and their 6 month old son Jauquin. Rob was there with his brother in law from Brazil. The reason for the gathering, was Anna, in town for a wedding. She's a cousin that lives in Boston. So there were seven of us, from all over the place. It's weird. We're all adults. I feel a little out of place. Not quite grown up enough.

I took Anna back to her friend in Eagle Rock, and picked up Sue and Anne for the Los Angeles Comic Book and Science Fiction Convention. We were there to cover the Dawn of the Dead and Hellboy panels. Both movies look like they will ROCK. Ron Perlman will be absolutely amazing in the role, and Guillermo del Toro was wildly passionate about the project, and making it happen in spite of hollywood. I also saw the trailer for the upcoming Bruckheimer King Arthur. I got a chance to talk with the sword master from that production shortly after he finished filming in Ireland. He said that they built a full scale replica of Hadrian's wall on the Braveheart field, but that they ended up barely using it. Most of the wall in the movie is CG.

I always enjoy helping out Sue at these events. A high point this time was meeting David Carradine, who just happened to be there. Be sure to look for our coverrage of the event on cinescape.com. Should be up sometime next week.

Also it looks like I'll be at the Angel party later this month.

Joyful expression of mirth!
