The blog from Los Angeles and Hollywood by Donna Grayson

Sunday, April 18, 2004



Oh, gee... its been a while since I posted. Real Life is keeping me busy yet again,
and I guess that is a good thing.


The Big News is that I have started a Yahoo Group... The Entertainment Book Club.
For April we are reading "Shoot Out" by Peter Bart and Peter Guber. Everyone is welcomed
to participate in the online Yahoo Group. Group members in Los Angeles can meet up with us
once a month at a local coffee shop for discussion.


I saw Barenaked Ladies at the Universal Amphitheatre. I went with two friends, and
one of my friends brothers... so yes, it was just me and three guys. The concert
was really great... the music was great.... and I love the Barenaked Ladies sense
of humor.










Movies to recommend ? Well, I really have to admit I liked Jersey Girl. I saw it at
another Women In Film screening.
I think Ben Affleck was really good, and so was the young actress who played his daughter.


Also, I saw "The Mayor of Sunset Strip", a documentary about KROQ disc jockey Rodney
Biggenheimer. And I saw "Wilber Wants To Kill Himself". Both were member screenings
offer by The Egyptian Theatre.








I did some volunteer work for the Egyptian about 4 times last month. Mostly as
Capatin, where I don't get to see the movie, but I help out in the front lobby for the
entire screening. But on one volunteer shift, I did get to see "Paul McCartneys Animation
Collection", which I really enjoyed. I like seeing the animation shorts, which were all
animal-related. But also Sir Paul showed us in a mini-documentary between the shorts how
the animation was actually done. It was very interesting.








The Methodfest Film Festival was happening
in Burbank, and ran out there one weekend to volunteer for them. The days I was there, they were
showing collections of shorts. I have to admit, I have never been to that area in the city
of Burbank, and I really enjoyed being in the area.


Another thing this last month, I attended a screening of Soap Talk. It films at the ABC Studios
not far from my house, and I really enjoy the guests they have on that program. If you have never
attended a taping of a televisison show ... next time in LA, I highly recommend it. Not only is
it a fun way to spend an afternoon, but watching how they actually film is a great learning experiece.








The other big news ? Well, I changed my hair back to Brunette ... so, bye,bye blonde ! That also
means I have to get all new Photos done for my acting pics - and I am currently in the process
of getting that done.


Okay, well I am off to catch a play this afternoon over at Theatre West. It is based
on the life of Jimmy Stewart. I am looking forward to it.

And our rain here in LA has seemed to stop for a moment ... and the sun is shining...
well, at least for the next few minutes !
