I’m so glad we had this time together

Screening Party Parting: How about a hand for our special guest star, folks? Dennis Hensley -- backed up by some of his witty friends -- was the perfect guest during his stay in The BradLands, arriving with a hostess gift, keeping up the conversation and having the discretion to leave the money on the dresser when I wasn't looking. Applause, applause.

This is my final plea for you to pick up his book Screening Party, either by using one of the Amazon links peppered throughout the last few posts or by visiting your favorite online or local bookseller. (The book seems to have moved up over 10,000 notches on the Amazon sales chart today; I'd like to think we had a little something to do with that.) It's a ripping read and, while you're at it, you might want to add his debut novel Misadventures in the (213) to your must-read stack. Having had more than a few LA misadventures myself -- and most of them had mothers and production assistant jobs -- I can vouch for both its verisimilitude and its breezy, thoroughly hilarious style.

The Virtual Book Tour for Screening Party chugs on, with Dennis and his posse stopping off next at Eric Benson's joint tomorrow. (Wired News had a look at the Virtual Book Tour project this week, and I know a lot of folks stopped by The BradLands for the first time after reading it.)

Thanks again to Dennis for spending the day with me (and you!), thanks to everyone who dropped in to watch us prattle about movie musicals, and thanks to Kevin Smokler for making the whole shebang happen.
