Times Talk LA

Last night Lindsay and I were super lucky to find last-minute tickets for the Times Talk LA series featuring George Clooney and Alexander Payne. Knowing how crazed (read: focused) I've been to meet Clooney, you'd better believe I was all about going to that event! It was awesome to watch George and Alexander interact with each other and the crowd. I mean, really, I could watch George Clooney breathe for two hours straight and be perfectly content. The only downfall was the moderator of the event. He was THE WORST! Now, for all I know he's a great writer, but as a public speaker he's seriously lacking in skills. He talked way too much and interjected far too many personal anecdotes into answers. Plus, he could barely get out a sentence without stuttering and his attitude was poor. We didn't care about him. We wanted Alexander and Clooney. Speaking of Clooney, have I shown you this before? Oh, well. I'm going to guess it'll be featured on this site many more times, so get used to it! :) I'd met Alexander Payne at Sundance several years ago, but he was too nice not to get another picture with him. Plus, I LOVE his work! The Descendants is still one of my faves of the year.
We were SO excited after meeting George Clooney! This is our "we just met George Clooney" face. :) Loves it.
