Looking outside the hotel room I could see some production activity before the event.

Hello, Dolly! in 70mm

A few years ago, a new 70mm print was struck of Hello, Dolly! There is a big legion of 70mm fans out there, along with Hello, Dolly! fans (me being a fan of both). A huge line formed down the block for the screening.

AFI Lifetime Achievement Award - Part 3

This picture was after the event when everyone was leaving. You may be wondering where are the pictures during the show. With great restraint I didn't photograph during the event! We were told no photography allowed. I cheated a little before and after the event. Keep in mind this was back in 2001, before the era of smart phones. Now-a-days, everyone would have their iphone out taking pictures non-stop. This event was during the pre-smart phone era.
