Updates to beat the band.

I believe the first one is from Access Hollywood. The second one is from a local TV station. And the third is Aaron, me and Bryan with Lori and Julia, hosts of a Minneapolis radio show. Lori and Julia have been extremely nice to me since Prada, and it was good to finally get the chance to meet them. They are so sweet, and so Minnesota. They were a nice way to round out the red carpet.

If you're a Mad Men fan in the Twin Cities, you should listen to their show. In fact, if you're a Mad Men fan in the Twin Cities, it's probably because you listen to their show. They're awesome.

I've had a couple requests (seriously), so here's a full-length photo of me and The Lovely Virginia.

And because T.J. asked, I was wearing head-to-ankle Hugo Boss. The tux fit beautifully, and I loved being able to go out on the town in style.

And my shoes -- oh, man, my shoes!



These beauties were designed by Mr. Phillip Bloch. He was gracious enough to allow me to wear them on what was one of the coolest nights of my life. They're his special design for Hush Puppies, and they're coming out later this year.

I was the first person to wear them out besides Phillip himself.

And that.

Is awesome.

It helps that a) they were comfortable as hell, b) which is WAY more than I can say for any other pair of dress shoes I've ever owned, and c) I also happen to love these shoes.

I'm sure it's some sort of fashion faux pas in Hollywood, but I imagine you'll be seeing these babies on my feet at future events.

2. Bea. This kid is crazy.

Crazy-awesome, that is.

Here she is celebrating our big night.


Last night, she decided to sleep for a six-hour stretch. This is the longest she has ever slept in a single shot. I had no idea how good six hours felt until I got it for the first time in seven weeks.

Man, it was good.

The Lovely Virginia and I think she probably did it as a gift to us for

3. Our Combined Birthday. Which is today. The Lovely Virginia and I celebrate our weird kismet-ty birthday(s) today. I am only older than her by one year, but it feels like a lot more years this year in particular.

Because I have turned thirty.

I remember my dad's thirtieth birthday party. It's one of my earliest memories, but it's there.

That's, how you say, "trippy."

Happy birthday, Wifus. This has been a good year.

[EDIT]

4. One more thing. Should have mentioned this last week. Bob Sassone, of AOL's TV Squad blog, linked here, calling this "one of the coolest celebrity blogs you'll find." That's weird on a million levels, not the least of which is calling this a "celebrity blog." But I appreciate it, anyway.

5. One more one-more-thing thing. Remember Improv Everywhere? (recognize the guy in the top picture on this post?) This is a prank they did about a year ago but just put up online. See me looking around like I have no idea what's going on?


Sometimes I miss NYC.
