It's a Party . . .

but not, you see. I and my fellow volunteer bartenders brought in exactly $100 in tips tonight at the RiverRun shindig. We donated it to the festival. (yeah/boo)

It was a "cocktail attire" party so I also got the chance to rock the dress I got for the '07 Green Coat Reception - that got lots of compliments, again. :)

Had some chocolate covered strawberries, saw some really cute guys, met some great local people, poured wine and beer like there was no tomorrow and danced during clean-up.

Good night. And now, I'm gonna find something a bit more substantial to eat, before I go to bed and hope I don't have dreams like the one I had last night.

Time to RiverRun

The RiverRun International Film Festival. It's back in Winston-Salem for the sixth year, celebrating the 10th anniversary. 95 films. 26 countries. Five days.

They're celebrating Bill Pullman and Pam Grier, who's a Winston native. They're also premiering the new flick that Helen Hunt starred in and directed, Then She Found Me. (Yes, I said premiering!)

Last year, I found gems such as Paris, Je T'aime, One Rat Short and The Rape of Europa. This year, I'd love to see Then She Found Me; OSS 117: Cairo, Nest of Spies; Pheobe in Wonderland; and Saturday Morning Cartoons, the family-friendly animated shorts shown this Saturday morning.

Go! They're good movies that won't get play in the theaters around here (with the exception of Then She Found Me). Support the arts in Winston - and film in North Carolina.
