At what point do wedding pictures, slideshows and videos get old? Never.
Justine and I finally got our pictures from our genius wedding photographer Greg Gibson. Here is an incredible slideshow he put together for us. We watched it and drank red wine. You should do the same.
Click on the picture to watch! Let me know what you think.
I just looked at last minute, impulsive-waste of money-do I really need to fly to Boston for the weekend-it is fucking cold there-it is warm here-I see these people every day here in Los Angeles do I really need to fly to the east coast to see their show, plane tickets on JetBlue.com. The price, $325.00 each way from Burbank to Boston.
So, I am not going, and yes it was impulsive and I also have a ton of work to do here in LA, but it would have been fun to see the amazing Figgs, American Hi-Fi , Letters to Cleo and Billy Janovitz. Mike, Kay and the kids ae leaving tomorrow morning and I guess I am just a bit jealous and wanting to get out of town for a minute before my next show starts on Monday.
Instead I will stare at this poster and marvel at the guitar snowflakes.
Great charity, even better show!
I love acupuncture-it helps with so many ailments, emotions, aches and pains.
I also love Los Angeles because we are always first to try anything that will make you feel your best.
That’s why I think this new acupuncturist in my neighborhood will make a killing.
There are so many losers that will benefit from curing ailment #3. If it really works we may soon see freeway drivers using blinkers, people putting their cell phones down on the checkout line and Ed Hardy stores going out of business.
Corner of Moorpark and Tujunga in case you're interested...
today someone scratched the “r” off. i’ll snap a picture tomorrow.
Too bad they fixed the sign. 
The little girl you hear singing on this free MP3 download is Valentina Santiago, my 6 year old friend. I saw Valentina in the Nutcracker last month, played Santa at her house a few days ago and have known her way before she knew how to sing. (Back to the Santa thing for a second-Valentina’s parents, Joey and Linda had a Xmas eve party this year and I showed up to play Santa. Everything was going great for the 60 seconds I was there until Valentina decided to start screaming “it’s Gaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrryyyyyy” and then all 15 kids figured it out and I ran out the door.)
Valentina’s dad is my friend Joey Santiago…the guitarist from the Pixies. His new band, with David Lovering (drummer in Pixies) is called Everybody. The music is incredible, but I’m not sure when you’ll get to hear it. In the meantime if you give them your email address at everybodytheband.com they will send you a free MP3 of David, Joey and Valentina performing “Snow In Los Angeles”.
It is the best song I have heard all year.
Snow In Los Angeles, a new holiday classic.
Oh, and one final thing. When I told Joey that I walked out during the ceremony at my wedding to “Here Comes Your Man” he reminded me that the song is about a bum.
Poor producers, they have to walk into the edit bay and discuss the changes they want made.

Here is a drawing for an “Act 3″ sketch we did a couple years ago. The script required a set that could be assembled in less than 10 minutes during a commercial break and struck before “Act 4″.
It's Club Carlos! Only a day before the live shoot!
Then the dream team of Bianca, Josh and Shane made the street come to life!
Club Carlos is open for business.
Tom Cruise goes down.
No stupid Hollywood girls allowed either.
The posters are in honor of costume designer Alison Freer
Well, there goes another before and after. The script got to us, it was built and shot and destroyed in 48 hours. I love Hollywood.
Justine and I have made our first very serious decision as husband and wife. No, it doesn’t have to do with kids, a life insurance policy or how to figure out the whole last name thing. Our big decision has to do with where we invest our money. From now on we will never spend cash on Christmas or birthday presents for eachother unless it is art, and ideally an original and not a lithograph. To kick it off this Xmas we decided to buy a painting for our new house. Here it is. A Todd Goldman original.
Justine and the gallery rep with our new Todd Goldman painting.
These one of a kind canvases are paintings of the characters that will be in Todd’s new Fox cartoon series that premieres next year. We decided on Miss. Tease, she is our new daughter.
Our next purchase is by my new favorite artist Rob Wynne.
There is a whole series of these. I am starting with two.
These are original, one of a kind prints and I am so crazy about all of the work I want to collect everything he’s done. We were at our friend Naomi’s gallery in Las Vegas and pulled these out of storage to claim them.
So, instead of Christmas today with presents under the tree we are just going to stare at the wall and look at our investments. Hopefully all of the decisions we make as husband and wife will be this easy.
I don’t know if you knew it or not but before KISS took their makeup off in the 80’s they were actually four black guys under costumes and greasepaint!
Black KISS in their dressing room circa mid 1970
This was such a fun sketch to Production Design. The script called for a super run down front yard, a 70’s era dressing room for black KISS and to build a concert stage to match the original Gene Simmons concert footage. Of course we had to tweak the look of the KISS logo because, even though Comedy Central was OK with claiming KISS was a bunch of black guys before removing their makeup in the 80’s, using the real logo is a no-no.

Josh, Shane, Dalton and Nandor built the tank and canon to match the KISS stage in the 70’s and the KISS lights in the background are the lights from the ‘Black Daddy’ sketch, just painted black and reformatted. As always, they pulled it together in a few hours the day before the shoot.
DAG as black Gene
We shot the exteriors in Sylmar on probably the hottest day of the summer and the stage and dressing room at the Henry Fonda in Hollywood on the same day as 3 other scripts. Those were two intense days, but we spent some money we didn’t have, made some magic happen and everyone was happy. Except for Jim Ziegler when he got the bill.
In an alternate universe this is the record of the year with 2 million copies sold.
Listening to this I imagine walking around New York City on a cold winter night.
What a year for Juliana, releasing a heartbreaking grown up record and a brutally honest memoir.
Fuck the Grammy picks, John and Blake are the future of music.
This band is so good I feel drunk just putting this record on.I can’t stop listening to these on the iTunes and on my iPhone. More of my favorite records of 2008 later this week.
all solid choices 
Did you ust refer to “The iTunes”?
My grandmother refers to the internet as “the Google”. hehehe
