Nintendo Wii Party

My friend Ricky and I went to a Nintendo Wii party. LA throws these types of parties for people to sample the game and start a buzz about it. These are really hard parties to get into. Normally a bunch of celebrities come out because it's a huge production: free drinks, gift bags with a nintendo Wii in it, huge monitors to play the game on, the works basically.

We weren't on the list but we decided to go anyway. We're really good at finageling our way into parties. Whether it's Ricky knows someone or I do. We walk up to the red carpet and a girl working the red carpet goes "Miz thanks for coming. We were hoping you'd make it." In my head I'm thinking I didn't get a call, email, or text for this party so this girl was totally feeding me crap. I really didn't care because it got us into the party with ease.

I walked the red carpet which I can't stand. Like always I never know what to do. I normally stand there with a smile and my thumb up my ass. At least this time the cameras were going off and the photographers were screaming over here, over here. I actually enjoyed the carpet this time because the papparazzi were actually helping me out saying give me this pose, head down, and stuff like that. You could tell I'm not the red carpet kind of person, Paris Hilton really does have a talent, she's good on the carpet.

We get inside and this place was decked out with two huge 70 inch or bigger monitors with models playing the games set on a stage. It's funny watching the models play the games because they were trying to play all sexy but how do you box someone sexy? Oh, I almost forgot for those of you that don't know the Nintendo Wii is an interactive game console. As in you actually box or play tennis or Zelda. Like you are actually throwing the punches or hitting the balls. So different it's like the future of gaming. It could get the couch potato off his butt and actually do something active. The only problem is does the normal gamer want to be active.

Celebrities were everywhere. As soon as I walked in I saw Borat's assistant or sidekick or producer whatever the little fat guy's character played in the movie he was there. I was pysched I went right up to him and told him how much I enjoyed the movie. He was very gracious. Then as I was getting ready to beat Ricky's ass in boxing who walks up. Justin Timberlake. I didn't get to say anything to him I was concentrating on my boxing moves. Ricky and I went at it onstage of this boxing game. I never got so tired playing a video game. While we were playing they were taping us probably because we were getting so into the game. I was talking like Muhammad Ali and floating like a butterfly and stinging like a bee before we even started. It kinda brought a bunch of people over to watch. After I TKO'd Ricky in the second round everyone wanted to go against me probably to shut me up. I said nope I'm undefeated and have to go get a drink. The real reason was I think I pulled a back muscle punching air so hard. The next morning I woke up and I felt like I had a really good back work out.

Walking around I saw more and more celebrities like Shane West (ER), Adam Brody (OC), Marlon Wayans, the son on nip/ tuck, I even started talking to 5 Los Angeles Lakers cheerleaders. There was this one who was incredible, exactly my type, blonde hair, blue eyes, athletic build, and I actually didn't get annoyed talking to her. Hell, I wasn't even talking to her to begin with but somehow she ended up singling me out. I was like this is great I never meet girls in LA I enjoy talking to. Most of the time they are looking over my shoulder to see if there's more important people to talk to but not this one. Then while talking about random things she snuck in the boyfriend line and my heart dropped. That's just my luck with women I will meet one and be like wow this girl's great and something always has to happen. We still talked for awhile after that and she even said to look for her if I'm ever at a game. I imagine she wouldn't be hard to miss. I didn't even ask for the digits because I didn't want to think she was the cheating type nor do I want to be that guy. Kinda sucks because I wouldn't mind talking to her again.

All and all this party was incredible and out of all the new game systems this one was my favorite. I like the whole idea that I'm physically playing the video game. My favorite part had to be the next day when someone told me that on wireimage.com (which is where papparazzi posts their pictures with the names of people they got) had my pictures up and the name underneath was The BIZ. Of course, this happens the one time I didn't mind the red carpet. These are the reasons I try to avoid the carpet. Until next time be good. Be bad. BE MIZ!!! HOO RAH!!!
