I've been dreading this premiere, because we tend to get snubbed a lot at these kind of events, but it turned out surprisingly great. It was held at the Natural History Museum, and in addition to the movie premiere, a lot of the people were also staying after for a sleep-over at the museum. As usual we were dead last in the line of media outlets, so I separated myself from the other journalists by wearing one of those footsie pajamas, (it was a sleepover, after all). It was tough to find PJs that fit, and in the end I had to squeeze into the largest kid's size I could find. Everybody really took a liking to the outfit though. Even guests at the premiere who weren't talking to press felt compelled to swing by us and comment on my sleepwear. I chatted very briefly with Al Roker, Lorne Michaels, Christine Taylor, and Jerry Stiller. Then I got some real interviews with:
Jake Cherry: He plays Ben Stiller's son in the movie, and he's very cute. He was very well-spoken for a ten year old, although he could work on his handshake.
Shawn Levy: He directed this movie as well as a laundry list of sub-par big budget comedies, (The Pink Panther, Cheaper by the Dozen, etc). He was very nice, and willing to make a fool out of himself. He had his young daughter with him, who wanted to know why I was wearing PJs.


The footage should be up soon. Next up was supposed to be the junket for Notes on a Scandal, (which is an awesome, funny, beautiful, and gut-wrenching film starring Cate Blanchett, Judi Dench, and Bill Nighy), but I just got an email saying that we got booted. They invited us to the premiere, but I'm not sure whether I'll attend...
Questions? Comments? Let me know...
P.S. Okay- Gabrus posted a pretty cool picture of him with Sam Jackson. I just want to point out that in this post I have two pictures of me with famous people.

We've got plenty of blanket jammies.
All you had to do was ask!
Can Gavi have them when you're done with them? Or are you going to soon be known in NYC as jammie man....
