This past weekend I attended the Annie Awards in beautiful and torn up downtown Glendale. I was there to cheer on my nominated friends from Danny Phantom, The Fairly Odd Parents, My Life as a Teenage Robot, and Avatar. My friend Ernie won for best character design for a Fairly Odd Parents Episode entitled, "Good Old Days." Overall it was a blast, but next time I'll make sure to eat some dinner before hand. Fatty gotta eat. I should have some more pics of William Shatner and Jason Alexander. HA!(pictured above, Austin, myself, and Sylvia) | comments: 4 comments or Leave a comment   |

Last night was the big MTV Networks party at the ever-so-hollywood Cabana Club. Many rooms, hundreds, dare I say a thousand people drinking and eating all on the company's dime. It was good fun. I drank grey goose and tonic all night because I could for free, and watched a "rock star" (live band!) karaoke. Above is the executive for my show dressed up as Tony Clifton singing, "Copa Cabana." Peter S (johnnylongbow to you LJ kids) was there representing Comedy Central, but alas we didn't meet up. I sat in the back "VIP" booths (I call them VIP because I say so) and my buddy Jack and I drank and pretended to be the god fathers of the room, and I swear- on more than one occasion- people came up to us, shook our hand and gave it a kiss. | | comments: Leave a comment |

This is my friend V.
This is her new dog, an animatronic bull dog named "Fatty."
I heart x-mas. | | comments: 1 comment or Leave a comment |

These photographs are from an on-line Library of Congress exhibit called, Bound For Glory. "Barker at the grounds at the state fair"
Rutland, Vermont, September 1941 and "Backstage at the "girlie" show at the state fair" Rutland, Vermont, September 1941. For those unfamiliar with Rutland, consider yourself blessed. What I wouldn't do for those amazing old side show banners though. | | comments: 5 comments or Leave a comment |

The Christmas holidays are a big deal at Nickelodeon. In total, by the end of next week, I'll have attended five company sponsored parties. Wednesday we watched a very merry holiday episode of our show and ate egg rolls and jalapeno poppers. Thursday we decorated our crew christmas tree and ate cupcakes and drank mulled cider. Yesterday's was the highlight though, and as tradition goes a troup of Dickinson Carolers came and sang while we drinked spiked egg nog from the water cooloers. They had trays of Swedish meatballs and flats of grilled cheese- I would say they had enough food for over a six hundred people, but at the most there were two hundred there. I invited my room mate down towards the end of the evening and he swiped up trays of cookies and wrap sandwiches, sugar cookies and grilled cheese sandwiches on wheat bread.
Steven Giles who is noted in the bottom left hand has been working at the studio since it opened. On cinco de mayo he danced for everyone in the court yard while the mariachi band played, and at the renaissance fair he played medieval jen-ga- but out of all the parties this one is his favorite. He called his grandmother while they sang "let it snow" and laughed until he cried, and then passed out in the chair in front of the network feed. He calls me 'headless nick' as in 'nearly headless nick' (from harry potter) every time I walk by, and we give each other high fives when he stocks the kitchen in the morning.
I just had a grilled cheese from yesterday heated up for lunch. Tim ate one cold, a greasy block of cheap bread and orange goo- the same goo one would normally only feed to dogs while administrating pills.
The sugar cookies with their little jewel like sprinkles are now every where in our kitchen as if a magical little rainbow elf with psoriasis had just shook himself off like a wet dog on our linoleum. | | comments: 3 comments or Leave a comment |

The start of my transformation...
I didn't make the latex piece, but I did do the make up. The appliance I bought at a special efx store down the road (one of the perks of living in lala land.) I think next year though I'll make my own. All in all, it took about an hour and a half to complete the gluing and the makeup.
These two were part of the entertainment at one of the parties I went to... the bond girls ended up taking all of their clothes off towards the end of the night.
The snake charmer was joined by her 'freak show friends' at the same party. There was a dude nailing nails in his nose, a very tall russian who seemed to lack a soft pallet and a dude walking on glass. Thanks to Kevin for inviting me to this great party, out of the half dozen I went to over the weekend, it was surely the highlight.
I was told at the studio that I looked like the "box ghost." He's a minor character on Danny Phantom.

This pic is from a couple weeks ago, at the Fairly Odd Parent's Wrap Party. We dined on Moroccan fare at the Hotel Figueroa in down town- watched belly dancers and fire throwers and were waited on by stoned guys in fez hats. They had the best mushroom hor'durves I've ever tasted. | | comments: Leave a comment |
