After 9 hours of travel (driving to Buffalo, flying from Buffalo to Phoenix, changing planes in Phoenix and flying to LA) I finally arrived in LA tonight. I’ve already had an AMAZING time out here. I was picked up at the airport by Marty Keegan, the host of Hollywood Babbel-On.
Marty gave me a quick drive around showing me some of the sights and then we headed to Beverly Hills where he and his wife (Rebecca, who is the Time Magazine LA entertainment writer) are hosting me for a couple of days.
I’m so pumped! Tomorrow (Wednesday) I get to sit in on a screening of Hot Fuzz (which i don’t think opens in North America until April). I’ve been dying to see this flick ever since I first heard about it, and ESPECIALLY since seeing the trailer (which I’ll include below just for the heck of it).
Thursday I’ll be on Hollywood Babel-On in studio which should be a lot of fun. I’ll write more tomorrow.
Simon Pegg & Co are ace. Loved SOTD and both series of ‘Spaced’, really looking forward to seeing this film.
By the way found this on You Tube, one of my favorite Pegg sketches from BBC2’s Big Train.
