Last night, Sean and I went to the opening night of the American Film Institute (AFI) International Film Festival in Dallas. It is the second annual film festival for Dallas and has had a huge increase in the number and quality of films. This year, the opening film was the directorial debut of Helen Hunt, in a film called, And Then She Found Me, starring Helen Hunt, Bette Midler, Colin Firth, and Matthew Broderick. Mickey Rooney was also honored. He droned on enough during his acceptance speech (it was majorly awkward) enough that his wife had to come up to the stage and get him. He talked about how lonely the film industry was and how you just wanted someone to love you for who you are. The after party at the original Nieman's downtown was fun. Apparently I did not get the memo to wear a short, very fashionable shift dress as the majority of women there, but I think I looked pretty good and I also don't need/want to look like the majority of the women there. :) We had two additional celebrity sightings: Bill Paxton, a Fort Worth native, and Josh Brolin.
Target was a presenting sponsor of the film festival and so the Target dog was there doing tricks and posing for pictures. I don't know how they got that red on his eye but I expect that it is all kosher with the SPCA.
