Thanks for posting those pics, Peter! I’ll be the first to say thanks to the iPhone for putting out dark and blurry pictures when I’m in them :) I miss you guys! When will we see you/Alex/Neil in LA? As you found, it ain’t too bad…

NICE! I got an invite through the DSC. I’ve never been to anything like this before, the private screening and afterparty. Both were fantastic and I know a lot of that has to do with the people involved. Everyone I spoke with was fab. I was able to meet Alyssa Milano and chatted with her about what she had said during the Wizard World panel. She is a down to earth sweetheart. I was never a fan, but the meetup made me respect her and want to know more about her.

I was also happy to see that it is true that Milo Ventimiglia doesn’t drink. I had read that he didn’t, but to see it was something else entirely. I say that I don’t drink, or at least drink seldom (like 2-3 drinks a year, if that), and I even drank (1/5th of a rum and Coke. I don’t think that really counts *L*). Either that made me giddy, or I was getting something from being around drunken people. What do you expect from an open bar? *L*

@ Non-Smile Haters

Personally, I like that Peter doesn’t smile in photos because it nicely balances out Alex’s mega-watt drunken explosion of happiness.

@ Peter

Diablo was there?

Jonny: Not true. I use to carry my digital camera with me everywhere, but now at press screenings they wand you and cameras are not allowed, no exceptions. Sometimes they even have a cell phone check (like a coat check but with cell phones). And the screening was at the evil deathstar (CAA) building, so I didn’t want to take any chances. However, the whole afair was a lot more laid back than normal events.

Peter, I respected you more when you said it was just a cell phone camera. Now that I know you own an iphone…. Well, All I can say is I hope Hunter has one too. Cuz if its not standard /film equipment… I’m more than a little disgusted.

:P
Peter, You can take a camera anywhere you want. If a place is open to the public, that is a public space. You may not be able to take a picture of anything you want…but you can take a camera anywhere.

If you’re worried about security…just put it in the bottom of a knapsack filled with tampons and douche bags.

Jonny: point taken. I was a director for many years, and am very comfortable behind the camera, but never in front of it. But point taken.

And The reason wy I didn’t bring my good digital camera was because I didn’t think we were allowed to. All I had on me was my iphone.

after thought….

unless you actually do photo shop yourself into all these photos…then, I must tip my hat to you sir, and say “you are a genius.”

Geez Peter…. For someone who loves film, you’d think you’d be comfortable around a camera. My advice, is go out and buy a DECENT CAMERA!
For 1. Our sake and the blog.
2. So you can be comfortable around one, and when taking pictures, you then begin to see what is expected when a photo is being taken of you.
No matter how contrived… you need to smile/behave like everyone else in the photo. Otherwise, you come off as looking like you don’t belong in the photo. Which is why you tend to look like you’re “photo shopped ” in to most of your photo’s. I hate to say it…but its true.
A lot of times when I see photo’s with you in them, I’m reminded of that photo that was on the internet of the guy standing on the observation deck of the world trade center as one of the planes was about to fly into it is in the background.

There were go-go dancers.
Peter smile damnit!

I’m very bad at smile. Actually, I’m very bad with photos period. Before I was 21 I rarely appeared in front of a camera, and I was one of those guys who skipped his Yearbook photos. I just hate photos. I’m sure I’ll learn how to smile eventually :)

And actually, I thought my photo with Milo was probably my “happiest” looking photo so far (likely because I was kinda drunk when it was snapped).

LOL Peter!

Does that chick gotta shoot a ping pong ball our of cootch to make you show some teeth? It looks like she was getting ready to bounce one off the back of our head to get your attention.

Glad you’re having such a great time…. keep living the dream..and steal what you can from the hotel.

Peter,

try and laugh once in a while, especially when someone’s taking your picture. You always look dead serious, like you’re about to go into surgery :)

Wow… I was drunk.

Not as drunk as Alex, though.
