Night at the Museum SNEAK PREVIEW

For the Carraway's Christmas present, Brad scored 10 tickets to the Friday, 4pm sneak preview of the fun, new movie, "NIGHT AT THE MUSEUM", playing at the National Geographic Grosvenor Theatre (a week before it comes out!). All the kids got t-shirts, flashlights, movie posters, and fleece blankets (too bad the adults didn't get any of the SWAG). Needless to say, they all thought Brad was the coolest cat with all the hook-ups...

Hannah, Kim, Connor Rowe, Alex Abi Najm (in back w/flashlight), Brandon, and David Rowe.

UPDATE-fighting Malaria with the big wigs...

"President George W. Bush and First Lady Laura Bush" and a host of other "celebrities, experts and political leaders will join forces at a summit to mobilize governments and the private sector to fight malaria in Africa....The summit will take place at the National Geographic Society" tomorrow, Thursday, December 14th.

There are also rumors that BONO (from U2 fame) will make an appearance at some point.

So, anyway, I'll be there (since it'll be in the lobby of the building I work in) to snap pix and be the head groupie trying to get up close and personal with Bill & Melinda Gates, Condi Rice, and the Bush's...pending I can hurry up the body cavity search, glide through the metal detectors they've put up, and smile my way past the already mounting number of Secret Service who are setting up shop all over the place.
