Finally!!

Ok everyone, I am finally able to get online, so I'd like to start this blog up. I have all kinds of info & pics to share, so I'm gonna try & backdate the stuff I've already done, as well as the current things. There will be more to come, so just check the header to see if I've already done it, or what not.

As for my second day here, it was pretty cool actually. I went to the galley for dinner, and I was sitting by myself watching some ESPN, when all of a sudded, two people sat down next to me. Much to my surprise, it was Joel Moore (Grandma's Boy/Dodgeball) and Christian Slater (you know him). It was pretty crazy, because they sat down right after me, and we all had dinner together. I pretty much got to talk to them both by myslef, as the other people there were their PR guys & escorts. I got to ask them all kinds of questions, as well as talk to them about the movies of theirs that I liked. Overall, it was a great dinner.

Later that night, they and Kal Penn (Harold & Kumar/Van Wilder) and Zac Levi (TV show Chuck) did a meet and greet for everyone on base, so I got to talk to them all, and take some pics. Unfortunately, I accidentally deleted all the pics (don't know how seeing as how I'm a tech-savy kinda guy), but Joel & Zach hung out with everyone afterwards for a long time, and had some beers with us. I asked if they minded taking another picture, and they were eager to oblige.

Later that night, like form 0100 - 0330 they and Kal Penn hung out with about 50 people, playing guitar and having a good time. I got to tell them how much I appreciated their visiting us, and they were more than happen to explain their gratitude for our service. Apparently, Gary Sinise heads up a conservative group of actors that do this kind of stuff, seeing as how Hollywood is so liberal, that's it's not always considered a good thing to do to mention their love for USA, military, etc. if they want work.

Overall, I had a great time yesterday. I will try to upload some photos when I can get some banwidth, but in the mean time, I'll try to update this as regularly as possible.



ps - Email me and let me know if you are receiving these posts so I can take accountability for who needs to get it. Thanks.
