Inappropriate?

Check!
I love Lily Allen (a lot actually), but she probably should have thought twice
before getting her barely covered naughty parts so close to such a grabby
crowd.

Talk about an intimate concert experience...

So what if I have a preference? ;)
Last night was the premiere of Heroes Volume 4 & I loved every second of it.
OK, well maybe not when the words "to be continued" appeared on the screen,
but every other moment was great. I know it was basically a "set up" episode so
not a lot of action really happened, but I can't wait to see the way this volume
plays out.

There have been rumors that due to huge rating drops, Heroes may not be on the
air after Volume 4 if those ratings don't increase in the next few months so if you are
a fan or even teetering on fandom - please watch! Let's help Heroes stay on the air or
I don't know what will become of my Monday nights.

What do you guys think? Still a fan? Think the show sucks now? Think I'm a
delusional fangirl? Leave me some comment love, whatever it may be!

Monday Conundrum

Although this happened on Saturday, I figured it would make for a perfect Monday tale.
The hubs, myself and all our friends were very excited when Ticketmaster issued us an
alert that Girl Talk would be coming to Miami in April. So happy we were willing to drop
the cash back in October to secure our spot in the crowd.

Sidebar: If you are unfamiliar with Girl Talk, they were one of my favorite albums of '08 -
& can be found in this post.

While shopping on Saturday afternoon, we received a text from one of our friends that the
tickets we had bought for April were not for the artist, Girl Talk, but rather the gospel play.
That's right. Gospel Play. All of a sudden, things started to come together: the cheap ticket
price, the venue deep in the heart of Overtown, etc. We were dupped.

Thankfully, Girl Talk is still coming to Miami next month but with the Langerado festival.
This is good news for some, but not for me as I am only buying a one day ticket for Saturday
& Girl Talk will be playing on Sunday. Boo freaking hoo.

Worst part? I don't think we'll be able to get a refund as it was just confusion on our part &
not a postponed or cancelled event.

A part of me wants to attend the play in my best indie attire and stage a riot when the play
begins. But I think I'll just settle for making an angry fist of fury in Ticketmaster's general
direction.

Gee, do you think I like LOST?

I need therapy.

Friday treat

My lovely friend sent me a link to this video earlier this week & I figured I would
share it with all of you. She knows I have a long standing Elijah Wood crush &
although I loved the fact that he was in it, I'm happy it turned me on to a new
artist & amazing new song to love.

I also love that this was shot at Galco's Soda Pop Shop in Los Angeles, a store
devoted to carrying rare glass-bottled sodas. It sounds like a place that I would
love to visit.

Enjoy & have a great weekend!

So last night was our LOST party and as expected, we had a great

time being a bunch of nerds together. The polar bear was a big hit
and got a lot of love throughout the night by our guests, there was
a special appearance by the infamous snuggie and everyone enjoyed
their Dharma beverages. Unfortunately, the weather was uncharacteristically
freezing so the ringlight photoshoot was a no-go. I did manage to brave
the cold long enough at the end of the night to get a few good Dharma
propaganda shots!

As far as the show goes, I thought it was outstanding! I think watching
it along with so many LOST fans this time around made it that much better -
there really was a feeling of excitement in the air (as corny as that may
sound). I do not want to include any spoilers for those that may not have
seen it yet or still plan on jumping on the LOST bandwagon, but suffice it
to say that I was very pleased. I just really hope that the rest of the season
can keep this pace because if so, we are in for a great one!

Up next? Heroes Volume 4 viewing party! Hell yes.

LOSTies rejoice!

Taken @ the end of last year's LOST party.

After what seems like years (but in actuality was only 8 months), LOST will finally be back
with its 5th season. I am extremely proud to have been a Lostie from even before day one.
I am one of the few that can boast that I saw the series premiere of LOST several months
before it aired to the public at San Diego's Comic Con International. And not only that, but
I got to watch it along with several members of the cast & be present during a Q & A panel.
Super cool, right? Right.

I have been hooked ever since. Sure, the show has had its share of low points, but I have always
been a steady fan. I really believe that no other show out there right now can bring the same
intelligence and creativity that LOST does. It is a rare breed.

So it's no surprise that for the past 3 years or so we have hosted LOST viewing parties for both
the season premieres and finales. Tonight is no different! We are actually hosting our largest
LOST party to date with (I believe) 13 guests! The party planner in me cannot just lay out the
chips and dip and provide the couch and TV...I go all out in true Melificent fashion. I bought
a stuffed polar bear and have clothed all our drinks with appropriate Dharma labels. Plus, we'll
be having a LOST themed ringlight photo shoot to boot!

I'll be back tomorrow with a full update with my thoughts on the opener as well as party details,
but for now enjoy this fun time lapse video of me putting together all the labels while watching
last night's awesome episode of Fringe (best is at 2:34 when I become caught up in the show & do
my classic OMGZ!!!! face). Yes, this totally made me realize that J.J. Abrams owns me. I am aware.
