Ree-owww. What I wouldn't do to be able to go hang out with Teri Hatcher and the other lovely ladies of the upcoming Desperate Housewives, see what the team can do for me, Extreme, hang with Dominic M. and discuss some LOTR behind-the-scenes stories, see a ton of previews, and bask in the so-cal sun!

Oh man....is it really? I can't believe it's been a year. It's also anniversary of 9/11 -- can't believe it's been three years since that.

Oh well -- at least primetime preview weekend will be something positive to look forward to for those that get to go. I really really do wish I could go, if only to hang out with Hatcher and her "dreamteam" cast of deseperate housewives or get some laughs with David Spade!!!!!! Man that little dude is funny. Did I mention I want to go?

It's not airing Sept. 12. Some of the stars of that movie are attending the ABC function at Disney's California Adventure. The subject to change part is, if the stars do not attend.
