Degrees

My husband attended a movie premiere last night at SxSW which featured Dominic Monaghan and both he and Elijah Wood attended the premiere. If we were to play the Kevin Bacon game on this one it would go like this...I am married to someone who attended the premiere with someone who was in a movie with Viggo Mortensen. That would make me like two degrees to Frodo and Merry and three degrees to Aragorn. That also puts me at three degrees to Liv Tyler and four degrees to Aerosmith. The same could be said for the Wilson Brothers as they were at a premiere earlier in the week for a movie they all put together. So now I am two degrees from them and three degrees from anyone they have been in a movie with, including Jackie Chan.

Now that I think about it Al Franken is there too and I am not sure if Johnny Depp has been on SNL when Al Franken was on there but even if he hasn't someone he has been in a movie with surely has so that would put me three degrees to Depp, also. Al Franken puts me three degrees to any actor or actress or singer that has been on SNL while he was on there. Actually, Mariah just informed me that I am two degrees from Depp because he was in a movie with Jon Favreau, who was in Rudy with her! She is zero degrees to a hobbit as Sean Astin has actually touched her while she was in that movie with him. Does touching the person make you zero degrees because if it does that changes everything?

Update: I am only two degrees to Viggo and one degree to the hobbits as Elijah brushed past Terry last night and actually touched him so that makes him zero degrees and me one. So I am getting closer by the minute. Also, I have just been informed I am only two degrees to Kevin Bacon, Sean Penn, and Tim Robbins as Terry attended a thing with Marsha Gay Harden the other day. That puts me three degrees to Clint Eastwood. Also, had terry used his invites to a bunch of the premiere parties this week he would have gotten to see Billy Bob Thornton and see and hear Lyle Lovett so do they count as degrees or not, after all they did attend the events of SxSW along with my husband?

Come to think of it I am zero degrees to Henry Rollins as I have actually put my arm around him and so I am two degrees from a bunch of cool punk bands too. It would blow my mind to try to figure that all out but I do have to point out that that puts me two degrees from the Ramones.

Does being front row at the Cure concert make me zero degrees or one degree from Robert Smith? I didn't actually touch him but I might have gotten some sweat on me and I do think I made eye contact with both him and Simon at some point.

Unforunately, that is about as exciting as my week has gotten.
