MC Hammer: “Hammertime at Billboard. 9pm tonight.”
Ben Schwerin, my well-traveled friend, always seems to send me to people who end up staying in my life no matter what country they are in, so when Ben said I should meet his friend Max Markson from Sydney I knew I had to get to it. Lucky for me Max happened to be in Melbourne with MC Hammer at the same time I was there for my quick stint.
Joel Madden Moment
I kind of happened upon Joel’s moment yesterday which made it even more fun. That morning I searched for a game to attend and realized the football season for 09 was up. Went for my now routine run for the day and happened upon a trifecta of sport’s arenas and decided it was time to get creative for a moment. 😉
Jay Leno Moment: Go see Rove.
Since Jay Leno has never been to Sydney, my Jay Leno moment was to see the “Jay” of Australia-Rove. As a former intern for David Letterman and Conan O’Brian this moment was one that hit close to home. I love a cute comedy genius-and Rove was that and more. 🙂 Quick, witty, and personable. We laughed our way through his show.
Heroes Milo Ventimiglia moment: “I did get out for a 6 mile run around sydney harbor at 6am one morning (woulda been the afternoon back home so I was awake).”
Milo quote: Australia was an incredibly short trip. I was there for 2 and a half days and spent most of it in hotel rooms doing press for the show. I did get out for a 6 mile run around sydney harbor at 6am one morning (woulda been the afternoon back home so I was awake).
Justin Theroux moment: “I’ve never been! Just don’t come back an alcoholic racist that likes to fight!!”
Well Justin I promise I won’t come back an alcoholic – I think my alcohol consumption is pretty standard whichever country I am in. I won’t come back a racist – I’ve had many a test for that one….believe me…
Angie Banicki Birthday Moment
Since yesterday was my birthday I allowed myself to have a day of my own chosen moments….and grooming. I went to get a manicure where the women thought and treated me like an Aussie. 🙂
JJ Banicki: Watch out for the Kangaroo Plague
Leave it to brother JJ to find out that today the news is warning Aussies about the kangaroo plague. Perhaps more Kangaroo moments than I bargained for…
Russian Anya’s moment Tuesday: “I prepare you for Australia.”
Anya is my Russian Mom – “You ask what is my moment? I prepare you. I prepare you for Hollywood parties. I prepare you for the beaches, the trips, all your exciting life events. I prepare your…how you say it V area.” She motions around her hips and thighs. “You say it funny angie, you know, private area.” Anya is my bikini waxer.
