See you there…

Yesterday was our good friend Sean Bonner’s birthday. We tried to call him in the afternoon, but he wasn’t answering his phone… so late last night, Rudy came up with this gem of an idea…

I tell ya… it feels extremely satisfying making something so purposely awful!

Room: 19AB

Panel: Online Adulation: Use Don’t Abuse Your Fans

Add it to your schedule and stop on by!

We launched a new web site design this weekend, so if you’re reading this on your feeds you might want to come check it out.

It’s part of an effort to focus more on my acting career, so I’ve added pages with my resume, photo shoots, notable press, video reels, and links to my work and some of my best friends on the web.

My favorite features of the redesign are the sexy font (Countdown – Energy Corporation’s font in the original Rollerball), the random tagline generator on the upper right and, of course, the epic background photo by Vu Bui.

An email I just sent to Anderson Cooper 360:

I enjoyed your segment on “Race, Gender & Politics” and my opinion on the subject is that the Democratic candidates should be judged on their personalities. Though I would love to see a woman become President of the most influential superpower in the world, Hillary Clinton seems to overcompensate and take on a male persona. Instead of showing the feminine sense of self-sacrifice, she gives off the overwhelming sense of greed for power. A president should be in the White House for the people, not for him/herself. This is why I believe in the credibility of Barack Obama for president, and I truly hope that he will win the race… no matter what his race or gender.

May the best candidate win.
