Just got back. Had a great time. Most of the cast was there (except Powers Boothe). Got Will Forte, Kristen Wiig, Lorne Michaels, Ryan Phillipe, Val Kilmer and 2 of the wrestlers in the movie to sign my poster. Got Andy Samberg & Akiva to sign an "On the Boat" pic. And finally got Forte & Wiig to sign a "Gilly" poster. Both of those pics were for my daughter. Also, met a bunch of SNL cast members, Mark Paul Gosselear & Zachary Quinto.
Will Forte was the nicest guy in the world. We chatted for a while a few times this evening. I told him how I impersonate the Gilly teacher to my daughter. But, instead of Gilly..I say Stephie. He even let me film him saying her name in the characters voice. It was great.
On a side note. Ryan Phillipe was nice enough to sign my poster. He refused to take a picture. Ed Norton also showed up. But, wouldn't take a photo.
Will post pics soon.

Awesome! Your so lucky to have gotten to meet Zachary Quinto!! He was so cool in the new STAR TREK film as Spock!

Congrats too on Val Kilmer!! I sent him a letter quite a while ago, but never got a reply.

I won a charity auction. This is actually the 3rd premiere/after-party I have been too. The other being "Talladega Nights" and "The Waitress". They are very cool. Talladega Nights after-party was unreal. They closed off a large parking lot. Set up 3 giant video screens, bars, video games and more food than you can imagine. I met a bunch of big celebs besides the cast (Bruce Willis, Jeremy Piven, Brittney Murphy,etc).

It was raunchy. It was sophmoric humor. If you go in with that mindset. You will like it. Its wierd watching a movie and turning your head and seeing that you are sitting directly across the aisle from NBC president Jeff Zucker..And then in the row in front of him seeing half the cast of SNL.
