IN TRIBUTE: Perry Garrett
One of the longtime supporters of the NCC, Perry Garrett, died on January 17th, 2008, after a valiant fight with cancer. Perry was a writer and director who always was there to help. Whether it was making his weekend short films, or pitching & analyzing scripts, or at his jobs with Universal Studios, he was one of the sweetest and most encouraging guys Hollywood has ever known. He was a regular and popular guest at the Salons, and and inspiration to all of us. We will miss you, Perry!
CARSON SCHOOL DEDICATION
Dedication events for the Johnny Carson School of Theatre and Film happened at UNL October 12-14, with the grand- reopening of the newly restored Temple Building, Howell Theatre, new black box theatre and film stage.

Monday May 12, 2008  Guest: South Park Animator Ryan Quincy
Want to get your hands on an Emmy Award?

Ryan Quincy just won one. And he and his Emmy will be joining us at the next Hollywood Salon on Monday, May 12th. Ryan is the Director of Animation for Comedy Central's SOUTH PARK. He started drawing in his hometown of Holdrege, Nebraska, and right through school at UNK. Soon after coming to Hollywood, he got his start on animated shorts for MAD TV, and then work for his neighbors from Colorado, Trey Parker and Matt Stone, who were making a movie based on SOUTH PARK. They asked him to join them on the series, and Ryan's been with them ever since.

He won the Emmy with the show last fall, and we've been trying to help him celebrate at the Salon ever since. This is the first break he's had to come and join us, and considering his crazy hours on SP, it may be awhile before he can make it back again.

The NCC has a new bigscreen video projection system for the Salons. We'll be showing some of Ryan's favorite work from the show, as well as some of his own incredible (completely beautiful and totally wacked-out) animation, including some recent music videos.

And, yes, you can even get your picture taken with his Emmy.

See you Monday at the Salon.


The Hollywood Salon is held on the Second Monday of each month in the Cafe at CBS-TV, at Beverly & Fairfax in Los Angeles. 7:30 to 10:30pm.

Security Rules at CBS: You must RSVP on the hotline (213) 368-4NCC by 3pm on the Monday of the Salon each month. If you are a Champion or attended the Salon LAST MONTH ONLY, you are already on the list and do not need to call.

Park in the lot off Fairfax south of Beverly and enter at the Artist's Entrance. Follow the green signs up to the 1st Floor, and off the elevator past the stages to the Cafe. Just $5 covers refreshments, parking and your chance at great Nebraska prizes.

Voiceover Coaching Intensive with Mari Weiss
