I met him during a UCLA Film School screening of <a href="http://www.jelder.com/manic.html" rel="nofollow">Manic</a>. He was very approachable. He invited my son to the cast premiere party the next night and made sure he didn't feel left out. That says a lot about him, I think. I very much enjoyed him in <i>Brick</i>, but he was absolutely brilliant in <i>Manic</i>. Joseph Gordon-Levitt is indeed a bright, unpretentious guy.

The hotels do fill up absurdly fast, especially with IA growing the last two years. In 2005, I was able to book a room at the Hampton in late January. in 2006, I grabbed one of the last rooms at the Hilton in early November. And this year, I was one of the last into the Hilton - in late SEPTEMBER! (And the Marriott properties were already full!) If this keeps up, we will have to book rooms in August for 2008...
