Only one more post after this one, then I'll be done with the topic. Possibly.

Blood on the Highway finally has its World Premiere date in stone! The Dallas AFI Film Festival, March 28. (For new readers, this is a vampire movie I'm in with Nicholas Brendon and Tom Towles.) There will be a red carpet (are you kidding me?) and a Q&A session with the cast. HEEEEE! We have the coveted midnight showing on the first Friday (the festival opens the night before) and did I mention that Tom Towles and Nicholas Brendon will (most likely) be there? Today they're negotiating flights/hotel stays, etc. They've both said that want to come back here for the premiere, so it's looking pretty good.

All I want to know now is: what the hell do I wear?! (I love that I will look NOTHING like my character. Yay! The Q&A session should be a blast.) If you're in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area, go here to find vouchers and tickets. This first Friday usually sells out fast, so get tickets while you can! (you can get vouchers at all the Central Market locations, btw.

Here's the Red Line Trailer for the movie on YouTube (that means it's meant for Mature Audiences, because there's loads of swearing. Be over 17, please.) And... I'm the one with the nails. :) Side note, "Bone" the cute guy in the wife-beater, did the opening titles for Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium. He's fantastic, and this little "film" is absolutely beautiful. (He's single, ladies.)

I swear, I will NOT keep bugging everyone about this. Um, except for a detailed report on the premiere, Q&A, and the awesomeness (and nerdiness) that is Nicholas Brendon. :D

[ETA] UM. COLIN FIRTH IS GOING TO BE THERE. WHAT. (As is Charlize Theron, Robert DeNiro, um... possibly Matthew Broderick and AMY FREAKING SEDARIS. Holy Haysoos.) I will flip out (quietly, and with dignity) if they stay for our movie's showing. FLIP. OUT. by which I mean smile and feel my stomach churn and not say a word.

Oh, excellent all around.

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

My stomach is in KNOTS in anticipation!!

[harmonyfb.livejournal.com]

Aieeeeeeee!!! Man, I wish I could come! You'll smile and be charming and everyone will be totally impressed with what a great actress you are. :)

As to wearing...hmm...I recommend commissioning a corset top from lordshiva. Made to your measure, with your colors of choice, and a lovely shimmery skirt to go with. ::nods sagely::

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

Oooh, awesome! Is she who made your beautiful corset top from the last Writercon? (I have a Grecian-style knee-length dress that I'm thinking about, but I don't know if everyone's going to be "Indie-Hip" and deconstructed, or dressed up because HELLO. MOVIE PREMIERE.)

What's great is I'll look infinitely better than my character on screen, so I could theoretically go in a robe and slippers. :D

[floweringjudas.livejournal.com]

OMFG.

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

COLIN FIRTH. L, I will not be able to look him in the eye. I'll probably say something stupid, like, "Remember when you and I got into a fist fight about who has better hair, the Brits or Yanks?" And then tell him thank you for helping me through the whole Davenport/Cookie Dough times of woe.

:O

[elfgirl.livejournal.com]

OMG I WANT TO GO STONEY.

(Only to support you in your endeavor. Clearly. ::looks shifty::)

You're going to have so much fun! ::spins you::

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

IT IS A WEEKEND. You should come! It's what... a 10 hour drive? (Heee!!)

I am SO EXCITED. My stomach is twisting, oh my god. How am I going to survive three weeks!?

[marenfic.livejournal.com]

Put on the things you're thinking of wearing, take pictures, and then we can decide :)

WHEEE! You know I will not tire of hearing about your awesomely funny movie, even if it does interfere with my Stoney time. (Psst, my dad called last night and said he's coming here that week, so it actually works out really well)

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

HEEEEEEEEEEEE. I can slip in those "other" pictures and mail them to you directly. *leer*

M, I saw the final (final) cut, and all of the extra special effects added are AMAZING. Like, you would literally watch with your mouth open (having seen the first cut.) Oh, I'm so relieved! I'll need to come out maybe... the 10th? Something like that. *plots*

[entrenous88.livejournal.com]

Ooooh, clothing wise - can you find red carpet/publicity pics for past Dallas AFI FIlm Festivals? It might give you some idea of the level of formality/trendiness affected there, so you can pitch your shopping to a particular level, or whether it is open season for whatever people want to wear, in which case I would say you should get something you've had your heart set on. Either way, WRITE IT OFF AS A BUSINESS EXPENSE!

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

See?? This is one of the main reasons I love you: YOUR BRAINS. Excellent suggestion!!

Hahahaha, YES. Neiman's, here I come!

[beanbeans.livejournal.com]

What a post of wOOt-ness!

Colin Firth, Charlize Theron (boy/boy/girl, or... :P) , jeez! My stomach is knotting up for you! How exciting- and nerve-wracking- and absolutely wonderful. I can't wait to see pictures of you on that red carpet.

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

I am SO EXCITED!! I mean, dude. I'm a suburban haus frau. This is more excitement than I might be able to HANDLE, zomg!!

:D

[nemesisstar.livejournal.com]

That is so incredibly exciting!! I'm geeking out for you over here in Ohio, just so you know. :o) I haven't watched the trailer for BotH yet, but I definitely loved the set "reports" you gave and all that jazz. Sounds like you're going to have one amazing weekend! Congrats!!!

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

*SQUISH!!* I'm so glad my CONSTANT YAMMERING hasn't bored you to tears. :D I'm happy to have the geek-squee-fest in Ohio, yo!

(And seriously, even if I wasn't in the movie, it's HILARIOUS. Dirty, foul-mouthed, but hilarious.)

[poshcat.livejournal.com]

Don't ever stop posting about this EVER.

This is beyond exciting, and I need many, many details, yo. Also, if you could have sex with Colin Firth for me, I'd really appreciate it. KTHX!!!!

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

*SIIIIIIIIGH* FINE. *strips in 2.2 seconds* The things I do for you...

Posh, I swear to god, if Colin Firth is anywhere near me, I will shake into crumbs on the floor. Bruce Willis apparently will be there that weekend, too. HOLY CRAP ON A CRACKER.

Ditto on the never stop posting

[azryal.livejournal.com]

This is the coolest ever. You are made of cool.

What to wear? Baby, you're a STAR! Wear what you like! Still, my opinion? I'm fond of nicely cut jeans, some cowboy boots and a slinky top, and very dark sunglasses...very hip and glamourous.

You will, of course, share photos and video of you on the red carpet. Or we will have to hunt you down and beat you with fluffy slippers.

Mae

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

Hahaha, you've just described the Dallas Uniform. :D After looking at some pictures of the red carpet last year, I think a nice LBD is the order of the day. (Besides, I NEVER have excuses to wear dresses and killer heels, so I think that's how I'll go.)

I will TOTALLY be taking loads of pictures and will share!!!

[beadattitude.livejournal.com]

AMY SEDARIS?? OMFG. ::clings to you:: My little stoney. I'm so proud. ::sheds perfect crystal tears::

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

SUSI. I think I love her more than Firth. HO.LY.CRAP.

[chantal87.livejournal.com]

WEEEEEEE!!!!
Colin Firth and Amy Sedaris. I think I may piss myself.
oops....
*cleans up the pee*

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

you know what? I'm feeling magnanimous. ADULT-SIZED DIAPERS FOR EVERYONE!!

[anelith.livejournal.com]

WHEEE!!! Ok, you *know* there had better be pictures, right? Because we're so excited about this!

Let's hear about this! And the dress! There had better be *lots* more posts, you hear?

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

HAHAHAHAHA, your ICON!!!!

There will be a massive post with pictures and details and squee and all of that. Anne, I'm SO EXCITED!

[menomegirl.livejournal.com]

*smooches* Gimme a link for Blood on the Highway that I use on the Herald honey please?

xxxxx

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

Wait... what? You need another link? I'm not following. *bites nails*

[brunettepet.livejournal.com]

Don't you know I am living celebrity life through you - never stop posting about your whirl wind! It's beyond exciting.

Amy Sedaris! Amy Sedaris!

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

If she actually comes to our movie, communicates with me in any way, you'll hear a sonic boom all the way down ther, which will be me exploding in delight. (Possibly New Zealanders will here it.)

[bu-doodlebug.livejournal.com]

I'M GONNA BE THERE TOO!! I can't wait to see you again!

I'm taking press photos all through AFI. I'm a little freaked out at the star power that will be there. Colin Firth. SHIT. Helen Hunt too. This is crazy!

I'll already told my supervisors though Blood on the Highway is a must see for me. :)

I'm SO excited for you guys!!!!

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

WHEEEEEEEE!! Beth, Chris, Blair and I are bouncing off the walls! I got to see a bunch of the crew a few weeks ago, and it made me all nostalgic and happy. It'll be great seeing you there!

How awesome that you're taking press photos - last year they had Francis Ford Copolla, so yeah - it's no small potatoes anymore! SO EXCTING!!!!

[dovil.livejournal.com]

You have to say something! Run up and babble at them and grab the hem of their clothing and giggle loudly and then wave your hands about and jump up and down and pee yourself. And then cut off a lock of their hair for luck and memories.

I'm so excited for you!

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

Why stop at their hair? I'm going for a limb! How wonderful to have a Colin Firth leg. I could dip it in brass and use it for an umbrella stand! HEEEEEE.

Public Enemy has a doc that's showing the same day as ours, so there's a minute chance I could bump into those guys. DUUUUUUUDE. \o/

[diachrony.livejournal.com]

Whoa. From the brief glimpses in that trailer, you sure weren't kidding about the actress who looked so much like SMG/Buffy!

Looks like a real hoot (if it's ever available with subtitles/captions, so I can enjoy it).

Looking forward to the promised detailed reports. You movie star, you. ^.~

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

It's even more pronounced in person. If she wasn't 5' 8", she'd be a dead ringer. :D

And hahaha, I bet it'll come with subtitles, so you can understand our Texas Twang. :)

[violethamster.livejournal.com]

by which I mean smile and feel my stomach churn and not say a word.

Oh my God, is your awesome life totally wasted on you or what? What is the point of having celebrities in this world if you don't stare at them creepily and inappropriately hit on them? Man, I wish I had the chance to be lurking behind Colin Firth with a hypodermic filled with sedatives.

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

Hahahahaha, please tell me you remember the Phil Hartman skit about Mr. Belvedere, "Brocktoon?" I'm going to steal him and put him in a glass box in my cellar to enjoy for ever...

(Um, and I may have just been talking to the director about Nicholas Brendon's travel plans, hotel stay, etc. I could *BE* that crazy stalker! Except for how I'd be mortified...)

[semby.livejournal.com]

Eeee! This all sounds so exciting! I would have absolutely no problem with you continuing to "bug" us about it. Your posts give us an opportunity to live vicariously through you! COLIN FIRTH!!!

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

You have it hear, darling. If I see Colin Firth in the flesh, I will officially explode, and rain my bits and pieces all over the carpet.

...I don't know if that means I *want* to see him or not at this point. :D

[showmewrtr.livejournal.com]

OMG! What an awesome trailer!!!!! You rock!

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

Thank you! And that's just the trailer - the movie is AWESOME.

[ely-jan.livejournal.com]

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!!! Sorry to chime in so late, but work swallowed me WHOLE. Like Jonah. But less with the Biblical stuff.

[lynnenne]

WHY AM I NOT GOING TO BE IN DALLAS FOR THIS?? *cries*

Oh, honey, I am SO EXCITED for you!!! You will be a stah, baby! There is not enough YAY in the world!!! *loves you all up*
