What I ended up doing was something I had planned on all along, which was go to Ramzi Abed's wedding, which, curiously, was held here rather than Los Angeles. It was good to see him again, and I wish him the best on his honeymoon in New Orleans (but how could you not have a wonderful time in New Orleans at this time of year?).
That was one of the things Curtis and I briefly discussed -- going to New Orleans again -- after we met up later in the evening to put on some makeup and go make the best of the evening. We met up with some lovely young ladies and together all drove out to this neighborhood that was rumored to have the best Halloween decorations in the metroplex. They did -- they'd even turned part of their street into Middle Earth, but by the time we got out there a storm was rolling in and their impressive Eye Of Sauron had been blown over. We continued on to a haunted house and while we were waiting in line the rain began to pour down in sheets, which made the evening all the more fun. And the haunted house was the very one where we shot Ramzi's The Tunnel a few years back, which was a nice bit of synchronicity to round out the day.
Now that's all over and I'm home, listening to Francoise Hardy, changed from my dripping wet clothes into some cozy corduroy, drinking coffee and getting ready to spend the rest of the night working on Deadroom. Because there seriously are some things that need to be done.
