Corbin Bernsen is the coolest Hollywood guy I know…

Maybe it’s because he invited me to compose a song to be included in his next film, “Donna on Demand.” (Sweet!)

Or, perhaps it’s because he has an even larger collection of “stuff” than my mother does. (Those of you that know my mother also know that defeating her “stuff-collector” title is not a small accomplishment.)

Last Thursday, I got the distinct pleasure of being around for the One Red Paperclip trade with Kyle MacDonald and Corbin Bernsen. It was the second time meeting Corbin, and this time we were on his turf at the Public Media Works offices in Los Angeles.

Kyle’s girlfriend Dom was in Hollywood, too.

And, I think 4 people makes it a party.

By the way, The Corbin Bernsen KISS Snow Globe Army is real and currently recruiting new members.

To join, you MUST send Corbin Bernsen a snow globe at the following address:

Your proof of membership will be sent back to you in the mail, so make sure to include the address to which you want your membership credentials sent.

Speaking of snow globes, and stuff-collectors, and Corbin Bernsen, and my mother… She became one of the first members of TCBKISSSGA

She sent Corbin a very cool custom snow globe, with one red paperclip and

picture of the Hollywood sign on one side, and a photo of the KISS snow globe on the other.

If you want to see how genuinely excited Corbin was to receive his snow globes, watch the video below.

Corbin has over 6,000 snow globes. That’s impressive.

To my mother: Thanks for teaching me that it’s not about being a packrat –

It’s about seeing the good in everything.

XOXO,

Jody

Video for “Me Who Changed” to be premiered in

3000 theaters nationwide!

So the other day I got a call from Cinema Screen Media. (Remember they are the company that provides pre-show entertainment at movie theaters across the US?)

They invited me to their suite at Chase Field to watch the Arizona Diamondbacks play, and to do a little playing ourselves.

These kinds of events are fun because 90% of it is hanging out and having a good time with people you know and respect, and the other 10% is all bid’ness.

The first 90% was awesome.

Cinema Screen Media’s Eric McCarthy and Jody Gnant

We totally won the ballgame, and I drank the two beers that it takes for me to become completely inebriated. (Ok, so I’m a lightweight.)

The other 10% proved to be even more awesome.

During the course of bid’ness, Cinema Screen Media and I arranged to premiere the video for the first single, “Me Who Changed” in movie theaters across the country.

Chris LaMont will be directing the video, and I am ridiculously excited to be working with him – and Cinema Screen!

This should be fun. Stay tuned.
