Just flew in from Los Angeleeeesss (and boy are my arms tired) for the opening of the awesome 3G show at Gallery 1988; a tribute to Ghostbusters, Gremlins and Goonies. The place was packed and few celebs showed up...Seth Green, Martin Starr, Charlie Saxton from HBO's "Hung", comedian Paul Scheer, Tim Jo from the upcoming TBS show "Glory Daze"! Plus a few Ghostbusters alumi showed up: producer of the film Michael C. Gross, Robin Shelby who was actually in the Slimer costume for Ghostbusters II and the coolest part of the evening was Ernie "Winston Zeddemore" Hudson who arrived in a Ecto-1.
