Hi all... sorry for the late notice, I was just now approached about this -- tonight (Tues 6/24) at the Frameline LGBT Film Festival, Michael Freaking "Ben Linus" Emerson will be at The Victoria Theater for the 7pm screening of his new film "Ready...OK!" There are no more advance tickets available, but they will be sold at the Box Office.... get there early, as it is likely to sell out! YES, he will be there and will take audience questions after the show. Whoa... DUDE!!!
PLUS -- as you wait in line, you will be entertained by the "drag cheerleader" stylings of my alter-ego "Chester" of The COCK-Ts! www.cockts.com/
"Ready...OK!" is a comedy about a 10-year-old boy who decides to go out for the cheerleading team at a catholic school, and his fight against the school bureacracy determined to not let little boys be cheerleaders. It looks cute as hell... AND IT'S GOT MICHAEL FREAKING EMERSON IN IT!!! (in a non-villainous, not-creepy role) Description and online trailer can be seen at www.frameline.org/festival/...etail.aspx
You had better believe I will be getting some pictures and posting them here for y'all... but if anyone can swing this last-minute-but-amazing opportunity to rub elbows with Benjamin Linus, it is highly recomended!!! Approach me (I will be rather conspicuous in my drag cheerleading attire) and mention this Tribe, and I can prolly get you into the afterparty.

w00t! How cool is this! Such fun; this is one of those moment when being in beautiful Alaska just sucks as I wish I could be there too.
If you get a chance and can ask him if the cast have read the comic books ref'd in LOST (Fast Friends and Mystery Tales #40) then I'd be interested to hear if they've read them (in English -the version of Fast Friends used as prop in LOST was en Espanol) and what connection they think may exist within LOST.
Oh! And if you can ask him what (or who) he thinks Jacob really is! His answer to that question in particular could be very interesting.

Tue, June 24, 2008 - 4:42 PMOh, your icon says "SF" so i guess it's SF.
I'm very jealous of you... VERY! I love love love Michael Emerson. He is one of the best actors on TV and on anything, on the planet.
Sigh.

Wed, June 25, 2008 - 12:51 PMHey, castaways... I put some photos from this encounter up in the Gallery. He's a super-swell and fabulous individual -- talks to regular fans for like 20 minutes at a time, will sign multiple autographs, and he is not at all sinister but still always maintains that Ben-Linussy "I am calm and totally in control of this" kind of demeanor. He talks JUST LIKE Ben LInus.
I met his wife, too -- it's the actress who played his Mom in his flashback episode "Man Behind The Curtain". She is definitely NOT lacking in the fuckability department! -
