So I just finished my first day of catering, literally about a half hour ago. The final number of guests was around 890, and some of the speakers at the event included former California Governor Gray Davis, Producer / former Journey saxophonist / American Idol judge Randy Jackson (who I can't stand and was a terrible speaker), and my personal favorite Harland Williams. You may remember Williams from such classics as Rocketman, Half Baked, There's Something About Mary, doing a stand-up routine, or from one of his many appearances on Late Night with Conan O'Brien. Yeah, that made my night, and the fact that I ate close to my weight in chocolate and chocolate covered gooseberries (the owner of the catering company was very excited in telling me they are a rarity, and you know you're at a classy place if they serve them with dessert. Whatever, they were awesome though, I had maybe 2 dozen of them. Hundreds were thrown away.) When the event was dying down, they let us eat what was left, which were full plates of beef and I couldn't tell you what else. Megan, Stef and Stef's sister Abbi helped me out in answering all my annoying questions and lending me an apron till I get mine tomorrow. It was pretty easy work. The hardest part was trying to get everyone their food quickly before it cooled down. The line to and insind the kitchen was extreamly hectic. It'll be interesting to see the differences between this company and Truely Yours, the company I'm working for this Saturday and Sunday. I found out that my call Sunday isn't till 4:30, so I can still go to church. I also got a call from Rick in the Fine arts department at Pepperdine asking if I could work Monday and Tuesday all day in the theater. Then, on the drive to work today, David called and asked if I could work next Friday in the Theater as well! He said it's a christian artist, but didn't know who, so that should be fun. But I'm getting a lot of work now which is a huge answer to prayers.
Yesterday was a fun day too. Jason and I helped Megan and Nina move their new fridge from some girl's apartment. Then we got lunch at Baja Fresh on Ventura and saw Marlon Waynes. Nina and I ran some errands then I helped her finish painting her room. Yup, all that painting this summer came in handy Nate! Speaking of Nate, he called me and broke the news that the guy we hated the most won Rockstar: Supernova. That almost ruined my day, but I finished with two episodes of Lost.
And all was right with the world...


Harland Williams. I took a picture of him on the podium, but it was too bright to show up on my camera phone.
