Being that the premiere was on a Friday and not being sure I could secure child care, I let him know I was not sure I could attend, but so very much wanted to.  He sent me a <a title=\"Lou Diamond Phillips.

BTW if anyone does say hi, pls let me know that we&#8217;re Twitter buddies. We&#8217;ll Twit Pic! Big D on 16th!&#8221;  I responded, &#8220;You seduce me with your words.&#8221;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">Fast-forward 24 hours and I found out that the new agency working with my son with autism was set up and ready to provide overnight respite care.  My husband was eager to attend with me.  It is significant to note that my husband and I had not been on an overnight trip together since 2004 because of my son&#8217;s disability, with no family close to help us.  I had to type up an 18-page guide to my son (since he is nonverbal) to cover the 26 hours we would be away.  By Thursday night I was exhausted but was running on pure adrenaline.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">I have been a fan of Lou Diamond Phillips since his career began.  When he was on &#8220;I&#8217;m a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here&#8221; I hooked up on Twitter with his wife, <a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/ymphillips\" target=\"_blank\">Yvonne<\/a>.  She expressed concern that Sanjaya may get the American Idol vote; I assured her that Stargate fans were more devoted.  Every week I went on every fan website I could to post the numbers for Lou.  Too, as a loyal Stargate fan, we follow our actors\/actresses of the Stargate franchise wherever their paths may lead them.  On April 16, 2010, it led me to Dallas.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">Knowing that there was a question-and-answer session after the movie, my husband and I bounced ideas off each other about what questions to ask if we got the opportunity.   The trip to Dallas was entertaining.  We saw a billboard that said, &#8220;Need a hubcap&#8221; and listed a web site.  I laughed and said their slogan should be &#8220;we steal them from you, and then make you buy them back.&#8221;  Being a cowboy is apparently a new religion as we passed by the Cowboy Church.  We went through a few prison areas that were pointed out several times by signs along the road but then we came across another sign that said, &#8220;Prison Area:  Do Not Pick Up Hitchhikers.&#8221;   The makings of a Syfy Saturday afternoon horror movie, I believe.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">We got to the hotel in great time, hitting no traffic along the way, and they allowed us to check in early.

I was talking to another DIFF attendee who said I just missed Lou in the elevator (like 5 minutes).  The ballrooms were on the same floor as the business center and the exercise room.  My husband came back to the room after working out and said that there were people arriving in black-tie\/formal gowns for the big red carpet event\/awards ceremony in the ballrooms, and here he was in sweaty, disgusting clothes on the same floor (the workout room was on the ballroom level).  We had reservations for dinner at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.central214.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Central 214<\/a> at 7:30 and had to get ready.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\"><a title=\"Central 214 Menu\" href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/PBMom\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-14150\" src=\"http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Central214Menu.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"578\" height=\"433\" srcset=\"http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Central214Menu.jpg 578w, http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Central214Menu-256x192.jpg 256w, http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Central214Menu-512x384.jpg 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 578px) 100vw, 578px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">As we were going toward the restaurant, Lou Diamond Phillips, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/name\/nm0403926\/\" target=\"_blank\">Matt Kelly<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/name\/nm0408885\/\" target=\"_blank\">Raul Sanchez Inglis<\/a> and a fourth person were walking out.  I held my hand up to say hello, but that fourth person I did not recognize looked at me with an intense glare, and I quickly put my arm down, and said to my husband, &#8220;Bodyguard?  We&#8217;ll see him later anyway.&#8221;  Lou had such a swagger going on, being totally unfazed by the flashing lights of cameras as he walked out of the restaurant.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">We had a lovely dinner:  Jeff had the chicken-fried Kobe steak<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Chicken fried Kobe steak\" href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/PBMom\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-14151\" src=\"http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/JeffMeal.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"578\" height=\"433\" srcset=\"http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/JeffMeal.jpg 578w, http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/JeffMeal-256x192.jpg 256w, http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/JeffMeal-512x384.jpg 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 578px) 100vw, 578px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">I had the diver scallops.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Diver scallops\" href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/PBMom\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-14152\" src=\"http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/DiverScallops.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"578\" height=\"433\" srcset=\"http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/DiverScallops.jpg 578w, http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/DiverScallops-256x192.jpg 256w, http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/DiverScallops-512x384.jpg 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 578px) 100vw, 578px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">The portions were the perfect size.

Once she put us in the right line in the hallway, I picked up the phone and called <a href=\"http:\/\/www.twitter.com\/TiffanieJane\" target=\"_blank\">@TiffaneJane<\/a> who was expected to meet us there.  She is a fascinating person who has had quite the life with equally cool parents.  I enjoyed getting to know her. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"TiffanieJane on Twitter\" href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/PBMom\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-14154\" src=\"http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/TiffanieJane.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"578\" height=\"433\" srcset=\"http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/TiffanieJane.jpg 578w, http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/TiffanieJane-256x192.jpg 256w, http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/TiffanieJane-512x384.jpg 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 578px) 100vw, 578px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">While in line, we met <a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/name\/nm2554120\/\" target=\"_blank\">Carolyn Hodge<\/a>, who had premiered movies in the past at DIFF.  I asked her if her movies were on DVD as I had not been to the Film Festival before, having been in Houston, and she said they were, so I will go check them out; you should, too.  She was a lovely woman and seemed to be extremely popular with people stopping to say hello to her in line.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">Never having been to a Studio Movie Grill or the like before, the same kind woman who helped us get in line gave us her menu and beeper and told us a waiter would come by to take out order.  I would like to thank her for her kindness.   I didn&#8217;t want to drink anything, but the movie started late because the Q&amp;A from the movie before ran way over the allotted time.  I also needed some caffeine.  It was getting close to my bedtime.\u00a0 This was a mistake.\u00a0 I desperately had to go to the bathroom while the movie was playing later on.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">After the patrons were seated, the people involved with the movie, Lou Diamond Phillips, Raul Sanchez Inglis, and Matt Kelly came in and everyone applauded.  They moved to the front of the theater.  He talked a little about the movie.  When asked if there were any Stargate Universe\/Twitter fans in the house, @TiffaneJane and I shot up both of our arms and let out a &#8220;woo-hoo.&#8221;  And then I had my rockstar moment:  Lou Diamond Phillips recognized me.  Lesson here people:  Use your real picture in your Twitter avatar.   There was someone in the audience who videotaped the beginning introductions before the movie began.  It is here you can hear my shout-out (at about 1 minute 50 seconds).  You can hear @TiffanieJane and I yell out our &#8220;woo-hoo&#8217;s&#8221; as well.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<div><object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"576\" height=\"384\" codebase=\"http:\/\/download.macromedia.com\/pub\/shockwave\/cabs\/flash\/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" \/><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" \/><param name=\"src\" value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/5E5E5KhRRAQ&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" \/><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" \/><embed type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"576\" height=\"384\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/5E5E5KhRRAQ&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"><\/embed><\/object><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">A special guest came to the film, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/name\/nm0607703\/\" target=\"_blank\">Glenn Morshower<\/a>, who was also premiering a film he was in at DIFF this season:  &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/es-es.facebook.com\/note.php?note_id=431938326280\" target=\"_blank\">Walking Distance<\/a>.&#8221;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">Transparency&#8217;s World Premiere was in Dallas.  The cast and even the cinematographer, Stargate Universe&#8217;s own <a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/name\/nm0089885\/\" target=\"_blank\">Michael C. Blundell<\/a>, had not seen the final cut.  It was just finished on Wednesday and they flew to Dallas on Thursday, showing it on Friday.  As far as the number of people there, it was difficult to say as we were closer to the front.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">During the pause before the movie started, Glenn Morshower yells out, &#8220;Someone should sing La Bamba&#8221; which got a great laugh from the audience; some even attempted.  The movie began and everything got quiet.\u00a0 At first it felt a little awkward knowing they were all behind us.\u00a0 I heard actors do not like to watch themselves on screen.\u00a0 As a viewer, it was odd to have them present.\u00a0 I hated to have to get up to go to the restroom, having to walk right past them.\u00a0 I tried to find some place where I thought might be a good time to go, and I think I picked the perfect 2 minutes, otherwise I would have missed out on a lot.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">A separate review strictly on the film itself is forthcoming.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">During the Q&amp;A, most of the questions I had were asked and answered.  I was able to ask a question:  &#8220;Do you have a Twitter, Facebook or internet web site for the movie?&#8221;   Lou was so funny.  He said, &#8220;That is such a self-serving question, my love.  You and I have spent many late nights together and you know that we have. &#8221;  It is unclear how many shades of red my face displayed.   Matt Kelly, producer of the film, said they had started a Facebook page, and then added, looking at Lou, &#8220;It&#8217;s a picture of you in a dress.

I was smiling from ear-to-ear.  Raul asked me why I was smiling so much; the film is supposed to be depressing.  I told him, &#8220;It was a dark movie, but you don&#8217;t understand.  This is the first time I&#8217;ve gotten away overnight with my husband since 2004 because of my child with autism.&#8221;  No matter what I saw or did, from the moment I left home until the moment I return, I would be grinning.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\"><a title=\"Matt Kelly\" href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/PBMom\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-14158\" src=\"http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Matt-Kelly.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"578\" height=\"433\" srcset=\"http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Matt-Kelly.jpg 578w, http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Matt-Kelly-256x192.jpg 256w, http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Matt-Kelly-512x384.jpg 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 578px) 100vw, 578px\" \/><\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">Matt Kelly (and Lou off to the side)<br \/>\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Lou Diamond Phillips\" href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/PBMom\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-14159\" src=\"http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/LDP-21.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"578\" height=\"433\" srcset=\"http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/LDP-21.jpg 578w, http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/LDP-21-256x192.jpg 256w, http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/LDP-21-512x384.jpg 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 578px) 100vw, 578px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">A very thirsty Lou Diamond Phillips<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/LDP2.jpg\"><\/a><a title=\"Raul Sanchez Inglis, Lou Diamond Phillips and Matt Kelly\" href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/TiffanieJane\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-14160\" src=\"http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/LDP2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"576\" height=\"432\" srcset=\"http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/LDP2.jpg 576w, http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/LDP2-256x192.jpg 256w, http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/LDP2-512x384.jpg 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 576px) 100vw, 576px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">Raul Sanchez Inglis, Lou Diamond Phillips and Matt Kelly (photo credited to <a title=\"Click to visit TiffanieJane on Twitter!\" href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/TiffanieJane\" target=\"_blank\">@TiffanieJane<\/a>)<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">We also met Twitter friend @BurningSpyMi6.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\"><a title=\"Click to visit PBMom (Hilda) on Twitter!\" href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/PBMom\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-14199\" src=\"http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/BurningSpryMi^.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"576\" height=\"407\" srcset=\"http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/BurningSpryMi^.jpg 576w, http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/BurningSpryMi^-543x384.jpg 543w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 576px) 100vw, 576px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">By now it was about 1:40 a.m. and it was mentioned that we may be at the same bar in the same restaurant in the same hotel before closing time.

Since the awards events were held in the hotel, the bar was packed.  When the group came in, they had so many more people to say hello to, that I knew it was time for us to leave.  We had our time with them and now it was time for others.  We did get to speak with Mr. Morshower a little longer and asked him what he was up to next.  He was about to star in &#8220;Trauma&#8221; on NBC and &#8220;Grey&#8217;s Anatomy&#8221; on ABC and had just finished up working on Transformers 3.  He was about to leave town to promote a video game for which that he did voice-over along with Keith David.  We told him how much we enjoyed hearing his voice on Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">The next morning as we were waiting to ask a concierge a question, we saw Raul in the lobby talking on the phone and waved &#8220;hello.&#8221;   I bet he thought we were stalkers.\u00a0 We enjoyed a lovely breakfast at Central 214. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Omelet\" href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/PBMom\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-14156\" src=\"http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSCF0187.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"578\" height=\"433\" srcset=\"http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSCF0187.jpg 578w, http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSCF0187-256x192.jpg 256w, http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSCF0187-512x384.jpg 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 578px) 100vw, 578px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">It was sad knowing we had to pack up and leave.  Had I done a bit more homework I would have discovered that <a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/name\/nm0230032\/\" target=\"_blank\">Pete Docter<\/a> from the Disney\/Pixar movie &#8220;UP&#8221; was going to do a Q&amp;A after the movie at 1:00 p.m.  on Saturday.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">Before leaving, I realized that Krispy Kreme doughnuts still existed in other places in Texas; they were just banned from the Houston market.  We went and bought a dozen.  After we got home, I had given Patrick one.  Jeff had one.  When I opened the box, there were only 2 left.  Of course, I thought Jeff had eaten them, but my golden retriever, Maddie, apparently did.  She apparently jumped up on the counter, opened the box with her nose, pulled out one doughnut at a time and consumed them.  I just had to laugh; that was pretty smart not to have just nudged the entire box on the floor and consumed them there.  Quite the stealth attack.  Of course she got sick later, receiving little sympathy from me.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\"><a title=\"Click to visit PBMom (Hilda) on Twitter!\" href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/PBMom\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-14201\" src=\"http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Maddie20091.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"506\" height=\"987\" srcset=\"http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Maddie20091.jpg 575w, http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Maddie20091-196x383.jpg 196w, http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Maddie20091-393x767.jpg 393w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 506px) 100vw, 506px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">I would definitely go back to the Dallas International Film Festival or perhaps now check into the Houston Film Festival.
