EDITOR'S NOTE: Dear readers, Methodfest is one of my all-time favorite LA film fests, every year their film selection is stellar, and their afterparties/receptions each night are always lively, engaging and just plain fun, with fab food and libations and networking galore. Case in point: their party a few days ago at the Ferrari Auto Gallery in Calabasas, celebrating the World Premiere of the film "Push" (how the heck did writer/director Dave Rodriguez write it in "about 4 1/2 days"?). As guests dashed to the "Push" bash, a big splash was made by a great funk-rock-pop band called The Replacement Killers (sounds like a film title, doesn't it?), a way-above-Average White Band that blew me away (my logline would be "early Chicago meets Blood Sweat and Tears meets Superfly soundtrack"). And gosh, this bash had much to nosh -- as on opening night, it was an amazing buffet featuring local eateries, like Arnie Morton's (filet mignon sandwiches, anyone?) and Maggiano's (one of my top LA Italian restaurants).

So do yourself a favor and catch the last few nights of this year's fest, before it's gone until '07. Wed's, Thursday and Friday this week are the last three chances you have. For more details, see their schedule and ticket info at www.methodfest.com -- below are the details for the last night, Fri., April 7th. Special kudos to Don Franken (Methodfest executive director) for yet another great fest this year; also cheers to the many others who helped make M'fest such a success, such as Ron Gilbert of Rogue Arts, Steve Huntsman (look for his new "Aspen" comedy TV show), and Amy Gorton at Tower PR.
