Weekend Highlights: Band From TV Edition!

I knew Saturday was going to be all sorts of awesome, but I have to say the night surpassed all my expectations! First, I got to meet the amazingly awesome (& hawt) blogger, Rosy, from Accidental Sexiness (follow her blog if you don’t already!). We had been following each other on Twitter for a few weeks, sharing our love for Heroes, tall men & all things British. It was such a treat to finally meet her in person and get to share such an amazing experience along with her. I have to say that she is one great partner in crime!

After beginning our night the way we promised we wouldn’t (by drinking heavily), we headed to The Shore Club. The minute we walked into the hotel, we run into Mr. Greg Grunberg. I was buzzing pretty hard off my ridiculously huge drinks, but thought quick enough to mention Yowza instantly! Before I knew it, Grunny was all over my iPhone trying to change my preferences as well as trying to fix my busted Google Maps application. I don’t really think I processed who I was talking to – he was so down to earth and amazingly sweet that it was hard to imagine that this guy is a celebrity on a hit TV show. It is always such a treat to meet talented people that are still humble and truly care about their fans.

Grunny invades Miami!

For those of you not familiar with the Band From TV, it is made up of Greg Grunberg and Adrian Pasdar of Heroes and a few of their fellow TV buddies. They tour around the country playing mostly covers on their off-time for various charity functions and earlier this week Grunny made an announcement that a new tour date had been added to their website.

I couldn’t have been happier to see it was a Miami show! Looks like Band from TV will be invading the Miami Shore Club on South Beach on May 16th. They are offering two price levels: $100 for general admission & $175 for VIP which includes pre-partying with the band and their friends.

The Twitterverse

On my old blog, I did a very quick post about my participation on the social networking site, Twitter, but I think it has definitely blown up since then and needs further attention. đŸ˜‰

I’m a huge fan of social networking (obviously) and Twitter has drastically morphed since the first day I joined a couple of years ago (I deleted my account because literally no one I knew was on it). I rejoined last year and have loved watching it become the mecca of information and interaction that it is today.

One of my favorite aspects? The influx of celebrities that have taken over Twitter and realized its potential to further connect them to their fans. There is something about reading “I just pooped” coming from one of your favorite musicians to make you realize that yes, we are all human.

One of my favorite shows, Heroes, has definitely taken it to the next level. Cast  member and general mind-reader extraordinaire, Greg Grunberg, heads up this band of merry Twits often updating with pictures from the set, ranch-loving tales or the random YOWZA! His cohorts include other cast members, makeup artists, writers and prop masters just to name a few. Thanks to the constant tweets, the show has been able to get direct feedback after each episode from its legions of fans. The best part? They interact right back with you! It’s a great time to be a fan, people. Even the LA Times agree.

Are you curious as to which famous faces I follow? Wonder no longer.
