LVHIFF Report: Broken Chairs & Boozy Schmoozing

Before the fall: Pre-broken chairs at the "Lost" Panel

It was an exciting day for chair engineers yesterday. At LVHIFF's "Lost" Panel, not one, but two of those ubiquitous American white plastic lawn chairs collapsed--with their occupants still in them! The victims of chair malfunction were "Lost" DP John Bartley and panel moderator and Honolulu Star-Bulletin entertainment columnist Tim Ryan. Other than that, the panel was not too exciting--no insider tidbits or controversies. Boo.

The "Meet the Filmmakers" party also happened yesterday at Tiki's Grill & Bar in the ResortQuest Waikiki Beach Hotel. Nice, balmy evening with boozy schmoozing, but otherwise uneventful. No chairs broke.

I've added photos from both events in my LVHIFF flickr album...
