Comics, TV, Writers, etc.
Jeph Loeb used to be a producer on Lost but he moved over to Heroes. Best Comic (in my opinion): The Long Halloween.
Brian K. Vaughan writes the comics Y The Last Man and Runaways among many others. He joined the writing staff for Lost last year. Best Comic: Ex Machina.
Joss Whedon used to do the Buffy TV show. He's taking over Brian's Runaways comic. Best Comic: The Astonishing X-men.
All 3 of them are going to write arcs of the Buffy Season 8 comic book.

Highlight #1 for me was Eisley at the Virb outdoor stage. I really liked their new song "Body Snatchers"( I believe that was the name). The new album comes out "June-ish" per Sherri's statement during their set and I liked all the new tunes they played.
Highlight # 2 - Amy Winehouse really delivered during her set at the Island Records party. The crowd loved her. Love is a Losing Game @ Island Records Party
Disappointment of the day: Missing Minipop after being obsessed with one of their songs all week. By the time I learned they were playing I was late to the venue and they had already played.
Celebrity sighting of the day: My friend Lela saw “Ethan” from LOST, I saw Perez Hilton.
Random photos from this day.

On a whim I went to a Direct TV concert filming for Young Love and saw the kids go crazy for it.
Sightings of the day: Kele Okereke & Matt Pinfield ( remember MTV's 120 Minutes? Those were the days eh? Staying late on Sunday night to catch the premiere of a PJ Harvey or a Radiohead videos )

I played against the fragdolls. They are merciless ( I'm looking at you brookelyn and calyber ). I almost won a match against them but I lost by One kill in the last 40 seconds of the match. I also played against a Halo 2 pro player form the very fun PMS clan. In a 30 minute period I saw her die only twice while she managed to get 40 kills.
