Scream Awards 2010!

Hi peeps! I am super excited to share today – our fun weekend in Los Angeles! I hope you’re not all tired of hearing about it already. It was a big deal to us and I feel like I keep talking about it. I promise, after today, no more yammering about the Scream Awards! But, today, I have pictures! That makes it more interesting…right? We had a really fun weekend together attending the 2010 Spike TV Scream Awards at the Greek Theatre! We drove down and back in 36 hours, whew. It was worth it though. For the back story – check out this post on my blog from June. The Scream Awards are for Sci-Fi, Horror, and Comic Movies and TV shows…think Lost, Twilight, Spiderman, etc…It is like a big party and not too stuffy and serious. Everyone is dressed up crazy and having a good time. 

We were so lucky to have been invited to attend the awards and were given the VIP treatment. SO grateful to the people who arranged this all for us. I don’t want to name names, but they know who they are! We had a blast and appreciate everything that was done for us. We drove down Saturday morning – it takes about 6-7 hours from our house. Checked into our hotel, had some lunch and then got all dressed up. I put on tons of makeup and glittery nail polish and we headed out to the Greek. Got there early and got our VIP passes and tickets…and after-party tickets!!! (Can I get a woo woo?). Our tickets got us into an area where we had drinks and appetizers and we were able to watch the “Black Carpet” and see the stars arrive and pass through all the photographers!! While standing here having a drink, we look over and there is Joey Buttafucco standing right there! That was weird!

 

 

 

It was a foggy, damp, dark night…perfect for the Scream Awards…and the event is outside. The set was amazing! Like a cool city with a giant full moon off to one side. It was interesting to see behind the scenes – the equipment, the giant cameras on their booms, the set up for the next shots, etc. They put on a fun and classy event. We had good seats and could see everything. Some of the highlights for us (old folks) were – Bill Murray, in full Ghostbusters gear, Rainn Wilson, Anthony Hopkins, cast from Lost (we loved that show), James Cameron, Michael J. Fox, and Halle Berry! Too many other people to think of them all! We also got to see a bunch of world premiere movie trailers!

My pix are a somewhat blurry since it was so dark. I think you can tell who everyone is though. After the show was done taping we drove back to our hotel to freshen up (at 11pm!) and then we took a cab over to the after-party location! It was a club in Hollywood and we were again treated like VIP’s. Drinks, food, dancing, DJ’s, etc. It was everything you would think it would be. We stayed for a few hours and then cabbed it on back to the hotel…where it took me ten minutes to remove my eye makeup…and fell into bed!
  

 

 

 

  

 

Overall, what a fantastic experience!! Sunday morning we woke up and scouted out some breakfast (thanks Yelp!) and hit the road towards home. It was nice to spend the time with the DH talking and laughing and having a shared experience. I must say he looked mighty fine all dressed up! We never do that anymore and I loved it. The story of how all this came to pass is just awesome. It started off as a good deed (Mark bought the statue and the money went to charity), and ended with a good reward. Thank you again to M and C for everything!

The show was broadcast last night on television and we watched it and had the best time re-living the night all over again! Did you see it? Have a fab day today everybody!
