My little friend the hummingbird was perched with eyes closed today, so I was able to get pretty close to snap this. I have a few others I’ll put up later.

Busy weekend! I am in the midst of pre-production on my next project. I also had an interview downtown Saturday. I’ll share a few shots I snapped downtown later in the week. Last night I attended the “Laundromat” premiere at the Laemmle 5 on the Sunset Strip. It’s part of the LA Asian Pacific Film Fest. Today, I am doing an interview with the Trans-Ponder podcast. Details when it’s available online. Tonight, I’m heading to another LA Asian Pacific Film Fest screening—the premiere of The Sensei at the Directors Guild.

My pals at GLAAD just started a new event series called Thank GLAAD it’s Friday, so I headed down to the inaugural one at (where else) The Abbey. Open bar and free massages and other goodies. Yay! Got to see a few people I know and meet a few new ones. Photographers Brian and Tony were on hand, and Brian caught me and organizer Jovy Janolo inspecting some of the available wares.

Regular reader Michael Cota pointed out a few more people who have weighed in on Transamerican Love Story:
• Transamerican Love Story (saro via myspace)
• Love is a many-gendered thing (kirby @ movie dearest)
Also, an Advocate piece by Calpernia herself:
• The Reality of Love (calpernia addams via the advocate)
And even though I promised, here’s a hilarious report about the GLAAD Awards from Micah McCain.
• I’m GLAAD that’s over... (micah mccain @ shut up! i know!)

Allan Brocka put up some great pics from the GLAAD Awards, including when we were tooling around WeHo in our town car with him:
Above: This picture is very useful for comparing head sizes between Calpernia and me.

I have some pics of him at an event last year I need to dig up!

There are a slew of good blog posts about the GLAAD Media Awards, so I’ll let you find more if you are interested. Here are two of my faves. I was delighted to see Greg Hernandez, whom I’d met just a week earlier when Kenneth from Kenneth in the 212 was in town. Greg has a couple of entries about the awards (I can’t get the permalinks to work):
• http://www.insidesocal.com/outinhollywood/
And the inimitable JD DiSalvatore was on hand as well and has plenty of dish as usual:
• The Glaad Media Awards Salutes the Gayest Films and Television

Further evidence that I am easily entertained… someone put this in my MySpace comments.
I especially like it because it gives me a sense of what I would look like if my head were the same proportion to my body as Calpernia’s.

Above: Calpernia and I whore ourselves out and sign a giant Absolut bottle they were auctioning off.
Calpernia and I were at the GLAAD Media Awards Saturday as guests of Logo. Got to see lots of folks doing great work in LGBT media, and plenty of trans folk there, too: Eden Lane and her charming husband, Donna Rose, Ashley Love, Foxxjazell, Candis Cayne, and several folks I’d never met before. As we were walking in, we were in line in front of three lovely women who had traveled to the event. I had a chance to speak with Garry Marshall, who is one of the most consistently funny people EVAR. I said hi to Desperate Housewives creator Marc Cherry and a whole slew of other people involved in work I love.
The highlight for me though was going over to the Comedy Central table and talking with a few of the writers on The Sarah Silverman Program. I even got to meet Eric, who played Gerome in 2 Girls 1 Cup: The Show. I got over there too late to say hi to Steve Agee, who has been cracking me up since the early days of Channel 101 (Yacht Rock, Kicked in the Nuts). His summary of the evening includes this hilariously captioned photo of the cocktail party:
Afterwards, we made the driver take us to West Hollywood, where we were mobbed by drunk gays and lesbians. I’m sure some unflattering photos will appear in short order on blogs and what-not. Quite an evening.

I’m scheduled to attend the premiere of The Sensei on May 4 at 4pm at the Directors Guild of America.
Set in the 1980’s it’s about a female martial artist who comes out of retirement to teach a gay teen how to defend himself from small-town bullies. In the process she becomes a target as well.
