Lacy plays Dimitri (a cook) in the clip listing "Blood Stains or Grease Stains?" currently on this page:  http://www.tbs.com/video/index.jsp?cid=783862

The AMC site seems to be a few eps behind this one, G, but I did spot a Marley Shelton/Electric Circus pic on IMDb:

and another one of Joanna Going:

The release of the DS/Vampirella graphic novel was moved to June 6.   

Happy Birthday, michaelhacketttodd!   

Joanna Going appears on tonight's Mad Men episode "To Have and To Hold."  Going plays an actress who asks Megan and Don to join her husband and her for dinner, and at the restaurant [spoiler]he invites the couple to "go back to our pad, smoke some grass, and see what happens."[/spoiler]

Whose VO?

Vala Clifton again.

The West Coast event this year is in the city of Coronado-- in San Diego County, not LA.  The last LA Festival was in 2010, when the newly remodeled Burbank Marriott was nicely set up for after-hour socializing.  My only complaint is that Marriott bars out here tend to close up hours before the 2 am last call at other places.  But I've dropped by its restaurant often when I'm in the Burbank area, yet if you're staying there, you only have to cross the street if inexpensive and/or fast food is your preference.

michael, a couple of friends on the board have put in their deposits for the cruise, but that's all that I've heard about.
