On Election Night – I did a shoot at this Premiere…

Ok…no pix with the stars…simply because I was doing the field producing thing…and it just didn’t look professional….but now that I think about it…professional be damned. I should have whipped out my Cannon and snapped some pix of 007….but he was a nice enough guy during my 2 minute interview.

He voted for Kerry.

Went on a shoot to cover the School for Santas…what a fun bunch of guys…the school was held inside Southwark Cathedral.

I went to Stonehenge with Andrea and my honey. It was cool. These stones are about 5000 years old….more or less…they were built around the same time that Egyptians had their pyramids and were working on building more of those giant structures.

This weekend, we took a boat trip to Greenwich. It’s a lovely way to see London….everyday, I hop on the Tube to get to work. You tend to miss things, like scenery. Occasionally, we get “buskers” entertaining us in the Tube hallways. I remember grooving to a rousing rendition of “American Pie” in the Tube.

So, boat trip to Greenwich….still part of London. It’s a 50 minute boat ride past the Tate Modern, Tower of London, Tower Bridge and more.

This is from the Tower of London – you can’t see this from the river bank….only from the Thames.

Here’s a nice pix my honey took of me…standing over the Prime Meridian of the World (0� longitude)…it’s at the Royal Observatory

The world time is set Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). This line (it’s tough to see on a grey day) is where the Eastern Hemisphere meets the Western Hemisphere.

They figured I was exhausted from the body combat class last night….so they took over the kitchen.

This is the second Tuesday we went out for another theater production…

We saw: “The Complete History of America – abridged” – with Cub, John and Andrea.

Louie got jealous of Andre’s adventure…so he got his turn on Saturday…I wish people wouldn’t laugh at me when I’m taking pictures of my bears….maybe they’re laughing with me

So…this is his story…in his own words…

had to shove Andre out of the way….he was eye-ing mommy’s bag again….he’s not the only bear who knows how to have fun in this town.

mommy and markie and i hopped on the tube and went to the tower of london. mommy said she was there a long time ago. this was markie’s first trip…like me, Louie.

thanks to the folks for the sweet words on Andre…for the other sickos who tried to comment…get a life.

Yesterday, at Reuters, the showbiz dude said: “Hey Kris, I have an extra press pass for the Alfie premiere, do you want to go?”

I said yes….

The premiere was at Leicester Square…it was packed with screaming fans and media. My little press pass got me into the “pen”.

Jude and his posse took their sweet sweet time to perform their “Vespers” – parading for the crowd and signing autographers…Reuters got up close and personal with “Alfie”, the director, Sienna, Nia Long and the secretary from Ally McBeal.

I know whipping out my little Elph is not the most professional thing to do, but hey, I’m only young once….might as well.

My bear from Berkeley, Andre, got bored staying at home…

So…this is his story…in his own words…

ANDRE CLIMBED INTO MOMMYS BAG….ANDRE DOESN’T LIKE BEING IN THE BAG….ANDRE GETS CRAMPED….

BUT ANDRE LIKES LONDON. MOMMY LOVES ANDRE. MOMMY DOESN’T MIND ANDRE TAGGED ALONG. HERES ANDRE WITH BIG BEN. BIG BEN IS BIG.
