Had a nice time at The Streamy Awards last night. My girl Zadi Diaz took home "Best Web Series Host"... that made me happy. Great to see a true pioneer and renaissance woman (producer, editor, writer, host) win. Walking the red carpet was fun... aside for the highly peculiar experience of having a guy in a giant yellow bunny costume continuously hit me in the head with his ears as I made my way along. NOTE TO SELF: DO NOT WALK RED CARPET DIRECTLY BEFORE MAN IN FURRY ANIMAL COSTUME. Before the show I was privileged to meet Bernie Su, winner of Best Writer of a Drama Web Series. He explained that his series, Compulsions, is a little like a web version of The Sopranos.. so I'm definitely going to check it out. I also spoke with Ashley Scranton and Doug Bresler, two of the peeps behind Eli's Dirty Jokes (Eli was there too!). At the Cicada Club Afterparty I caught up with dear friends... Steve Garfield, Ze Frank, Annie Tsai, Kent Nichols, Brigitte Dale, and finally met iJustine who was super nice. Here's a pic Steve took of the two of us. She had about 42 different electronic devices hanging from her wrist to which I remarked, "You weren't joking... you really *are* the internet". So it's true! She is! I can vouch! Congrats to all the nominees and winners... and see you all again next year! :)
