I went to interview for an "Assistant Editor" internship today at a production company in Sherman Oaks. The guy running the company was really nice and it looks like I've got the job. We talked for about an hour about film, travel, computers, etc. etc.

I came home and looked him up on the IMDB to see what kind of stuff his company has put out. More interesting than his directing credits were his acting credits... turns out he was the kid who played Kevin the older brother on Mr. Belvedere.

This town is so weird.

Ha! Freaking LA..

Isn't that the guy that everyone kept saying was Marilyn Manson?

Yes!!

Yeah, he's definitely not Marilyn Manson, I can confirm.

Sherman oaks...in itself is fukked up...Lemmy from motorhead lives down the road aways...nearby you got Tom Petty and I worked at an 'oldies range' in the vicinity as a waiter for awhile...yeah whew! it sucked, but in the kitchen were freakin' rockers laying down the day job...I mean hey...bass player from testament! is the food for my insane table of jewish ladies ready!!!
good luck with the jobby job...you still need it..everything is not as it seems...

I once was interviewed by two producers who had roles on Head Of The Class--also in the Valley. Kind of weird. And then once I sat in on a sitcom taping directed by the guy who played the snooty waiter in Ferris Bueller's Day Off...I guess whatever you want to do in the biz, you might as well also act because everyone else is!

...that totally makes me think of being an extra on the show 'Miss Match'...a sitcom I never saw, starring Alicia Silverstone...well I end up getting placed in a line at a coffee bar next to her and her companion...the part that killed me though was realizing that the director was Timothy Busfield aka 'Poindexter' (Revenge of the Nerds) ...several times he stood a few feet away doing his thing and all I can think of is seeing him rocking the electric violin at the talent show...:wow:

Poindexter..Nice..:duh:

Drac, which characters on Head of the Class? I used to watch that show religiously..

Eric and Dennis?

Wow, LA sounds exciting, I want to go there someday.

Eric and Dennis sounds familiar. Tollin/Robbins productions. I think they do Smallville.

hmmm' Howard Hessman anyone?...and something about iguanas comes to mind...SNL episode from the 80's with Eddie Murphy...funny funny stuff...

LA's alright...if you like fake saxophones, keyboards and flambouyant cell phonies crawling all over each other for a piece of the pie...

...seeing IMA Robot @ viper room...top five reasons to be in LA

Yeah, the viper room bot shows were pretty dope.

probably my favorite (still functioning) place in the US to see a band...near top of the list for shows I saw all last year...thank you Johnny D'...
