3 Weeks. 1 Post.

-
Okay - so I haven't posted very much this month. One could even say that I've been down right neglectful of all things in cyberspace.

The fact of the matter is that I launched a brand new event this month - the first annual Detroit Oscar Film Festival. It showcased some of the Academy Award winning film makers who have come from Michigan as well as some of the young, up and coming ones. The main event happened at the Music Hall on January 13, but I also had a launch party at the Garden Lofts the evening before.

I was even lucky enough that one of my favorite photographers showed up to snap some cool photos of the event. (Thanks again, Liza!)

You can see the rest of Liza's amazing photos here.

Anyway, the weeks leading up to Oscar Fest were a non-stop flurry of activity. There were interviews with local newspapers. I also went on three different radio stations (WDET-FM, WJR-AM and WWJ-AM) as well as the local ABC affiliate, WXYZ-TV.

We had a decent turnout for an inaugural event and some impressive buzz. All in all, not bad considering that we had no sponsors and the budget was basically what we managed to find in a few seat cushions.

I'm really looking forward to doing this again next with a much larger budget and some more lead time.

Anyway, once that event was over, it simply took me awhile to regroup enough to post about everything here.

Hayley Williams Flashes Twitter

I have to confess, I had no idea who Hayley Williams  was prior to this morning nor did I have any idea who the band Paramore was. In fact, now that I do know, I'm not all that certain that I really care about Paramore. But I digress. The thing is, sometime last night, Hayley Williams' Twitter account was reportedly hacked. This resulted in a photo of Hayless Williams topless making its way onto the internet. Hayley Williams insists that it was a simple security breach. Personally, I can't help but feel that this smells too much like a publicity stunt. Either way, the photo is out there and a lot more people suddenly know who Hayley Williams is - coincidence or not. Oh, and yes - it has taken an enormous amount of restraint for me to not show the uncensored version of that photo.

I was surfing the web last night, looking for more news on Kristen Bell . I came across this post on TMZ.com about Kristen at the beach . They were critical of the photo of her to the left, but admired her in the one to the right. I don't care what the folks at TMZ say. Granny shades or not. Hair up or down. Kristen Bell looks darn hot.

33 Women in 2 Weeks?

James Hunt James Hunt  was the Formula One champion in back 1976 - a time long before I was paying any attention to either women or cars. According to a new biography by Tom Rubython , during a two week binge while in Tokyo that year, James Hunt and his friend Barry Sheene  each had sex with thirty three different flight attendants. And yes, that's thirty three women each. Over the course of fourteen days. An average of a little more than two stewardesses per day. James Hunt and Barry Sheene set the bar high (or low) for an outstanding summer vacation.
