Texas Film Society Hall of Fame Awards
I was informed the attire was "Texas Cocktail", and I had NO clue what that meant. I played it safe and wore a tux, until I found out I was WAY over dressed. The bow tie came off, a few buttons were let loose and my wardrobe looked decent.
I had the chance to hang out with my friend N-a.te P a - ul at this party (He's a college freshman and has already sold six companies....a whole post will go up about this guy later).
It was quite an eventful night, but some few major points:
I somehow heard Lucy Liu was in the crowd, and after dinner I actually went up to her and said, "Are you Lucy Liu? May I take a picture with you?" She gave me the COLDEST look and said, "I'm not Lucy Liu" and her friend sitting next to her confirmed her statement.
Turns out is was Lisa Ling from the show "The View"! Obviously, Lisa Ling is not a big Neville Medhora fan anymore. I'm usually not embarrassed easily, but I must laugh at MYSELF for that slip up :-)
Towards the end of the night me and NP happened to stumble upon access passes laying out on the tables. I got lucky and picked up an "All Access" pass which allowed me to go in the promo picture room with all the celebs and directors. It was surprisingly strict in there, the bouncers actually made someone delete two pictures from their digital camera inside the room.
Matthew McConaughey was there being inducted into the Hall of Fame, and NP and I went through a lot of crap to get this awful picture. We FINALLY got MM's picture while he was ordering a drink. Long story short, Matthew McConaughey is an ASS. He's also People Magazine's Sexiest Man Alive.
Lyle Lovett performed that night, and we got a picture with him. His people were trying to get him out of the venue and told us we couldn't have a picture, however he told them to hold on and took one with us anyway. He even talked to us for a little while. He looks a bit like a rooster, but otherwise he was a great guy.
THIS is where all the fun and mingling was that night! Before we left, me and NP took some "Party-Crashing" pictures by the rooftop pool to remember the good times:
It was an awesome time. Of course I wouldn't have known about it without "Bob", so another great big thanks to him for another party hookup!

Congrats!
Here's a quote for you:
“There is nothing so agonizing to the fine skin of vanity as the application of a rough truth."

You should rename this blog....call it something like "Pictures of me with famous people and quotes taped to my mirrors."
Awesome.
I used to think that you were a rising star. Now I think you have a chronic case of "star-envy".
All your experiments and ideas have been serious knock-offs. Nothing new there.
You snatched few used pens on campus. You found out it was hard to keep in touch with homeless fella'. Brilliant!!!
You have finished school and you have spent your time wall-papering your room with famous quotes. You have posted your income all over the place but you have set up expense tracking only after some anonymous' nagging here. And what a system of expense accounting it is!!! Especially, since you are a techie dude. Bulletin board expense tracking. Bit dated I would think.
I used to like to read your site because it was funny and well-produced and not 'cause I was going to learn a lot of new stuff.
Your site has gone to ....... and I have never bought your talk about so many, so secret.... projects you have been supposedly working on. Lots of hot air around here. JMHO
I just discovered your site today and started reading through your archives. I must say, you have an interesting bunch of commentors frequenting your site, and an even more interesting life.
I've got a few entrepreneurial friends whom remind me of you, so I can relate to your personality.
The fact you go to these events undetected and actually make friends there is pretty impressive. No matter what the commentors here say, I bet while you were at the function they were sitting on their couches at home doing nothing.
Good job on being out there and working your magic. Good luck on your journey!
It has been foever...You amaze me and for anyone here. The trick is if you want soemthing ASK
I attended the Oscars for the second year in a row and continue to piss off Dr. Phil with my ant epert book
Don't look back Neville you are dpoing great

Who is this BOB guy anyway -- I find it funny how he wants you to not use his real name -- than again I figure it's for the best, afterall you are one obnoxious loser.
Matt isn't an ASS -- I met him, he is nice actually; probably was an ass to you because like the previous commentor stated --- here is nice gala ...and here are two punks "crashing" it... I would be annoyed too!
PS. Lucy Lu Can Kick Your ASS! lol
PS: Lucy Liu and Lisa Ling...you are a moron.
I just recently started reading your blog and have been impressed with your creativity and social network. I saw in this post that you had pictures of and mentioned being friends with NP. I am from Austin, and have heard many stellar things about that kid. He's received quite a bit of publicity because of his company and I was curious to hear more about him and what he is up to these days. Looking forward to your post on him! Keep up the great blog!
