Veronica Mars, the movie, the premiere, the time of my life…

Still abuzz from the star-studded premiere of Veronica Mars! You guys. You guys… I have lost the ability to form words. It was so amazing. I took all the pictures.

First of all–the flick is great. Go see it this weekend! It was a great follow-up to the show, and Rob Thomas and team do not let you down. All the characters you wanted to know about, a ton of surprises. I mean surprises. We gasped, we screamed, we cheered. At one point Faith, my date, actually jumped out of her seat. It was epic! Lives lost, bloodshed, spanning decades and continents… you will love it.

And the party! Every single person involved in that film is a total class act. They are so committed to their work, so involved, so supportive of and generous to the fans that helped make this movie possible. I am so, so grateful to have been a part of this project.

Highlights from yesterday include, but are not limited to:

• Getting my first blow-out at a cool hair-styling place called drybar, while I sipped a mimosa.
• Later seeing the girl across from me at the hair place at the premiere.
