CineVegas - Last Cup Premiere + the Red Carpet

So the fun and picture taking kept on coming, and numerous other individuals jumped into the frame. You already know Brandon and Tone, so let me introduce you to Dave (left) and Dan (right) Tischler, who are also involved with the documentary. They are also both producers on the film. This is a great group of guys.

I begged the ushers at the door to not tear my ticket, because I was intending to keep it as a whole and frame it. But they needed to tear it to allow me entrance to the theater. They were real sticklers for detail, and no matter how much I begged and pleaded with them, they wouldn't allow me to keep the full ticket. After 5 minutes of back and forth banter with these volunteers, I decided to just allow them to tear my ticket, because I didn't want to be late to my own movie. I stopped for a second to take a picture with the film's poster, then went inside for the show.

Carrie Tischler was so sweet to me the entire time I was out there. If you know me, then you'd know that I'd get all shy and weirded out by being in the spotlight, but she helped me deal with all of the pressure with being a somebody. She reassured me that I was indeed the shit, which allowed me to hardcore rock this party.

When I was standing around waiting for the movie to start, two guys approached me and started asking me questions. They were like those two fanboys backstage on Wayne's World 2. How long does it take for you to get here from Aurora? It takes me 40 minutes door-to-door. My Mom gave me a dollar, and dropped me off at the park and ride. They had me autograph their CineVegas program underneath my picture, and it was a very interesting experience. Why the hell would someone want my autograph anyway? I still don't feel like I am a very big deal.

I'd like to say that watching the movie with 200 strangers was a good time, but honestly I was on the edge of my seat at all times feeling really uncomfortable about it. If I would have played my cards right, I would have gotten all liquored up before the screening so that I had plenty of liquid courage to get me through it. If you haven't seen the movie yet, then I must say that it offers a very personal view of the game of beer pong from the perspective of a few individuals (including myself) who really care about the sport. In the film there are a few moments when I tell the camera things about life that I wouldn't even tell my close friends. I guess when the beer is flowing, my inhibitions are lowered and I become really open and honest. Sure, it makes for great film, but it is not necessarily how I wanted to come across. I hope to one day write a review of the film, but for now I am satisfied with just being along for the ride. After the film, they invited the stars and the filmmakers down to the front for a little Q & A session. I answered a few questions, but I mostly let everyone else do the talking. Altogether it was a very interesting and unique experience to be a part of. I still don't really know what to make of all of this...
