Went to the premiere for the second season of HBO's finest show "Deadwood" last night at the Chinese. (I'll pontificate on the greatness of "Deadwood" in another blog. But, needless to say, if you're not watching, you should be. First episode of season 2 begins Sunday, March 6 and will repeated several times during the week.)
Party was fun, with chock full of the cast from the show -- Tim Olyphant, Ian McShane, etc. -- and a surprise appearance by Jimmy Smits and his longtime girlfriend Wanda DeJesus. Smits was there by way of "Deadwood" creator David Milch, who was a co-creator of "NYPD Blue," which starred... Jimmy Smits. Hollywood is so incestual.
Anyway, since there's lots of gambling that takes place in Deadwood, HBO brought in a faux casino to bring some authenticity to the party and I won $230 shooting craps. Of course, if I was playing for real money and not tickets, I would've dropped $50 but it was a fun time indeed.
Went with my friend Jay, aka the Angry Driver, who is friendly with Milch. He gave raves to the mini-cheeseburgers and the roast beef. And he especially liked the girl in the really, really short skirt.
