Back from the event. I absolutely should not have gone and I knew it the minute I walked into the bar - I felt crappy, my cough was ridiculous, I'm having trouble breathing, suddenly I'm starting to be achy (I thought this was OVER!), and there was air conditioning on in the bar. It was a nice, crowded event - lots of soap opera people I didn't know (but I met several of them) except for Kevin's co-star on Days, Patrika. I was photographed on the red carpet (apparently I was considered a celebrity), interviewed for some website, etc. The minute I got into the bar, a lady approached me with a DVD cover for The Faculty, and asked me to sign it, which I happily did. I met a few people, saw a friend of Barry Pearl's, but I couldn't have a conversation with anyone because it was so loud and my voice is so weak it was just impossible. I stayed longer than I should have, mostly nursing a Diet Coke. After about ninety minutes I took my leave. Then traffic on Sunset Blvd at eight-ten on a Thursday night was absolutely reprehensible - AND for no reason other than people driving like morons.
