Ways To Laugh Out Loud
If you live in Manhattan, here's what you have to do tonight: go see one of the best films you'll see this year, Joe Swanberg's LOL, which opens today at the Pioneer Theater (read the NY Times review here). Actually, given the time difference between coasts, it's already thirty minutes into its first screening. But never fear, it's engagement will last for a full week. Showtimes can be viewed and tickets procured right here. Don't miss it.
Bonus: if you show up early on Saturday, you can also catch the entire run of Young American Bodies, the series Joe and Kris made for Nerve.com.
If you're in Dallas tomorrow night, then you should go see the premiere of Aqua Rangers at the Lakewood Theater. Free tickets are still available here. I saw the finished product last week, and it's pretty damn funny. Add some alcohol to the mix, and it's bound to be even funnier. Moreso than Talladega Nights, even (that's a random comparison; I've just been looking for an opportunity to mention how disappointed I was with the Ferrell/McKay picture). I think there will be DVDs on sale at the screening; I don't know what they'll have on them in the way of extra features, but if you're lucky, you might get to see the deleted scene in which the robot pirate who bears a suspicious resemblance to yours truly is...compromised...during a fight scene.
I'll be at the former of these events in spirit, and the latter in person. Unless I miss my flight tomorrow morning. In which case, after I've gone off to a dark corner to cry for a bit, I'll console myself with the promise of a Lavender Diamond show on both Saturday and Sunday. Which, if you're in Los Angeles, you definitely should not miss.

Thanks for coming out to the premiere Mr. Lowery. Your help and support was crucial to the success of this project, and I am eternally grateful. Especially considering you didn't even know who the hell I was before we began production. I'm really proud of the final product and I hope you are as well. I'm most pleased that I made a new friend which is probably the most important aspect of anything one does on this globe of ours.
Again thanks and I will be watching what you do next from my spy computer in New York.
