it's like nascar

[dianora2]

Had a crazy fun LJ-riffic weekend with skywaterblue, intopolitics, xyellowroset, christinekh, leftofcenternyc and bexatious, including a chance to have brunch on Sunday with the uberfabulous juliedarling. It was truly a Bradley Whitford-filled weekend; let's see, we watched Little Manhattan, various Josh/Donna WW stuff, Dead as a Doorman, and of course the WW finale.

And then, today, Team Stalker, as Bex has dubbed us, went to stand outside Radio City for the arrivals at the NBC upfront. And yes, we did see Bradley Whitford; we got to watch him make his way through the press gauntlet for probably a good half-hour or so. It was just across the street, so it was a pretty good view. And yes, he looked damn good. As he was making his way into the auditorium we may have yelled out "We love you Brad!" Ahem. It was funny, for a decent amount of time he was giving an interview pretty much right across from me, and his eyes definitely flicked my way a couple times; probably wondering who the crazy woman was obsessively pointing a camera in his direction. We also think he may have recognized intopolitics which is extremely amusing.

Anyway, it was super cool, and we saw pretty much all of the stars at one point or another. Basically, if you read about a star in a new NBC show, we saw them. As well as the non-fiction types -- Donald Trump, Regis Philbin, Meredith Viera, Matt Lauer, and Al Roker, who tried to shake my hand but I was focused on Brad and ignored him. Hee. I think the people I was most excited to see aside from the Studio 60 boys (Brad, Matt, Tim) were Jeffrey Tambor and Tony Hale, aka George and Buster Bluth. Squee!! Very exciting. Oh, and Greg Grunberg!

The title of this post comes from the moment when my digital camera's batteries died, and bexatious offered me her extras, and it turned into a three-person operation with leftofcenternyc and we changed the batteries in like 60 seconds flat. Total Nascar action.

Unfortunately, due to the weather the press gauntlet was underneath tents, which means none of my pictures really came out because it was dark under there. I did get a really good side view shot of Timothy Busfield, though, as it was right after he got out of the limo, before he went under the tents.



Tim with no facial hair! That's Evan Handler in the white suit, and there's Matthew Perry on the right making some kind of funny face.



That's Jeff Goldblum on the right. And standing next to Tony Hale is Andy Richter.



You really can't even tell that it's Greg, can you? Well, it was. Standing next to him is Milo Ventimiglia.

The pictures of Brad REALLY did not come out well, unfortunately; I shall share some anyway. You can at least tell that it's him.







I'm concerned that Studio 60 is going to be on opposite CSI, however; if this show tanks I'm not sure what I'm going to do. Eeek.

Anyway, I am completely exhausted from the weekend's festivities, and I have to go to bed so I can get my beauty sleep.

Thoughts on the WW finale (and the Prison Break finale) to come tomorrow. Not only have I been busy, but I've been feeling very unsettled and anxious about WW ending, and it's making the formation of thoughts difficult. I didn't actually cry while watching the show and I think I'm having a delayed reaction or something. Don't like it. Sniffle.

Grainy or not, Brad is hot. Thanks for the awesome pics!

[auntof3.livejournal.com]

I can totally tell that was Greg.

And I'm insanely jealous that you got to see him. I mean, stamping my feet jealous, would just about describe me right now.

But happy for you.

Did I mention the jealousy?

Oh well...I'll have to do some stalking fan gazing this weekend in Los Angeles. :D

[dianora2.livejournal.com]

Hee. I'm sorry. *g* It was totally cool, I must admit.

[colorstoobright.livejournal.com]

Um. I'm jealous of you. I have major, major love (obviously) for Brad and Tim, but you got to see Greg! And the rest of the Studio 60 people! Tim looks like he lost so much weight and it looks good on him.

[dianora2.livejournal.com]

Tim looked really good, it is true. As did Brad. As did Greg. *g*

[athena4lynn.livejournal.com]

Am SOOO jealous of the Tim sighting (not that Brad doesn't impress me too, of course.. LOL). I'm sorry your Brad pics didn't turn out...

But yay for Tim. hee..

[dianora2.livejournal.com]

If only one celeb pic other than Brad could come out, I'm glad it was Tim. ;) On the other hand, I got a LOT of prime Brad viewing thanks to his doing TV interviews directly across from me, so I'm definitely not complaining. *g*

[bexatious.livejournal.com]

Okay in the first BW pic, he has severe evil eyes. Eeeeevil.

[lora-elisabeth.livejournal.com]

As I spent the day telling bexatious, I genuinely could not be more jealous. So glad you girls are having such an amazing time! :D

[michellek.livejournal.com]

Goldblum!

[dianora2.livejournal.com]

Thought you would appreciate that. *g*

[em-meredith.livejournal.com]

GREG GRUNBERG!!

Yeah, yeah, Brad's great too. *g*

[kiss-me-cassie.livejournal.com]

I SO knew that was going to be your reaction! heee! (Really, he was just so cute and was right in front of us for the longest time. But we got distracted by the shiny of Brad. :P)

[dianora2.livejournal.com]

Heeeee. You would have loved it.

[paleologa.livejournal.com]

Good luck with your audition! :)

I'm concerned that Studio 60 is going to be on opposite CSI

There really are not enough cuss words in the world to express how I feel about that.

GO TEAM DIA! Break a leg at your audition.

[divanoir.livejournal.com]

Good luck on your jeopardy audition. Don't forget to pimp cynical girl. =)

Is Greg Grunberg going to be in BW's new show?

[dianora2.livejournal.com]

No, Greg is in a pilot for another network -- ABC, I think?

[twinparadox.livejournal.com]

Break a leg at Jeopardy, my friend. Try not to scare Alex with your enormous brain. *g*

[melissaolemiss.livejournal.com]

Word is they may move Greys Anatomy to Thursdays too....god I hope not. Or at least push it back to 9!

[oeilade.livejournal.com]

Buster!!!!!!!!!

[dianora2.livejournal.com]

You would have died. It was awesome. At one point Buster was standing near Brad, and it was like fandom explosion. My brain hurt.

[chanel19.livejournal.com]

Good luck with the audition!

[prophetkristy.livejournal.com]

Kick ass on Jeopardy for those of us who didn't pass the online test! whoo!

[jasminelily.livejournal.com]

Studio 60 is now also going to be opposite Grey's Anatomy. I think I might have to get that new dual recording TiVo.

[lzbrt.livejournal.com]

Stupid tents. Although, your Tim pic turned out fab, and the Brad pics excite me because I now know to watch TV Guide news. And when his eyes go slightly to his left, we'll know he was looking at us. /dorkiness

Break a Leg at the JEOPARDY Audition!!
