I am so lucky! Through this fandom, I have met some of the most fassinating fans. I cannot express enough gratitude in what I have experienced through these people. I have Fassinator friends here in Michigan, I met one in Paris, hooked up with one in London and then hung out with her again in Amsterdam. But the first real Fassinator friend I met lives in Los Angeles and we met up during my June 2011 trip. As I'm planning my Venice Beach/LA visit for June 12-15, I am meeting up with Miapatagonia again, and she was able to nab us two tickets to see Frank on June 14th! I noticed a tweet by the LA Film Festival about a special premiere of Frank in Los Angeles on June 14th and June 17th only. I immediately realized that
'Shit! That's when I'll be in LA!' So I emailed Miapatagonia and she was game in going to see Frank with me. We have pretty much set up our itinerary for that Saturday, but a 7pm Michael Fassbender movie to close out an excellent day couldn't be better! She has just confirmed that she got our tickets, Woo hoo! See, this is what I mean about me being lucky! What are the chances of a surprise LA Frank screening during the very short few days that I will be in Los Angeles... a long planned trip? It's the miraculous work of the Fassy Gods ya'll!
LA Film Fest@LAFilmFestCalifornia has been on my mind lately, and not just as a vacation destination. After this past horrible record breaking winter (Polar Vortex bullshit, highest snowfall, and sub-Sub zero temperatures), I'm wondering why in the hell do I still live in the Mid-West? Why endure another horrifying winter? Well, we'll see what fate has in store for me, but the reliable weather of California is very appealing, and, you never know. But in the meanwhile, I'm so looking forward to my vacation and seeing Frank in the US before the rest of the country sees it on August 22.
