‘Rest’ Stop
Yesterday afternoon I made my way out to The Golden Apple comic book store on Melrose Ave. here in LA for an in-store appearance by Heroes star Milo Ventimiglia and comic artist Tim Sale for the launch of their new comic book series Rest. I was very happy to see that a few hundred folks also came out for the comic book release event. Here are a few pics from yesterday’s fun:
When I arrived, the line of folks who came out for the event stretched down the street and around the block, it was very cool. I was fortunate enough to get to hang out with Milo’s best friends Dino and Russ (some of you may know that they, along with Milo, are the founding members of the Divide Social Club) for the duration of the in-store appearance. I got to meet a few Pink readers and, after the event was finished, I also got to snap a pic with Milo himself. After the jump, check out a few more fun pics including a VERY COOL VIDEO of Milo’s arrival at yesterday’s event …
I have to give a huge shout-out to Pink readers Nick, Abby, Cheyenne and Natalie (all pictured above). It was great getting to meet you all :) Respect also goes out to all the DSC gang who came out for the event. One member of DSC flew all the way from Switzerland to be at yesterday’s in-store event. Amazing! I was also lucky enough to meet Milo’s very sweet and supportive parents. They came out to the event to proudly watch their son meet and greet his fans … let me tell you, it was a pleasure meeting them. In fact, I snapped a few Polaroid pics for my collection and Milo’s dad was the one who took the Polaroid of Milo and me. Yesterday’s event was really very cool. I urge all y’all comic book fans to make your way to your local shops and pick up this new Rest series. I understand that the individual books will be published in graphic novel form soon and will be available for sale at Amazon, Borders, Barnes & Noble, etc. … but you’re gonna wanna get the individual copies as well.
Which brings me to … a new contest I’m going to announced here on the blog tomorrow. Milo very graciously signed a couple copies of his new comic book series Rest so that I could give them away to Pink is the new Blog readers:
Check back tomorrow to find out how you can win a signed copy of Rest Issue #1 :)
UPDATE: The grand poobah at the Divide Social Club sends in a great video of Milo’s arrival at yesterday’s event, check it out:
LOL. The man knows how to make an entrance :)
After the fun at The Golden Apple, I met up with Jordan for a nice quiet dinner and hang-out session. We basically just chilled and got caught up with what has been going on in our lives. It was great.
Tonight … I think I’m meetin’ peeps to see SAW V. The fun never stops here in SoCal :)

Awesome, wish I could of been there, but I was too far away in Australia. Meanwhile, picked up my copy of Rest Thursday night, and read it already, a very good read, looking forward to more!

Wow, Trent, it looks like you had a great time (you look gorgeous in all of those photos, by the way, and the hair is too fabulous for words!). Milo sounds like an absolute sweetheart. Who knew? I would have thought stupidly good looking guys like him didn’t need to be nice as well, but it’s lovely to hear that he is. And, aw, his parents and friends were there? That’s too cute.
That “pink is the new comic” is made of win, BTW.

Nice! But is it just me, or does Milo’s hair look weird? like it looks like it needs to be washed…
and that girl DOES look like N. Kidman! wow!

Pleasure meeting you, Trent. I’m glad you had as great a time at the event as my friends and I. Also very sweet of you and Milo to be giving away a signed copy to readers who couldn’t make it. Keep up the fabulousness!

Lord, that boy is hot. Cheers for the pics, Trent, wish it was my arm around that hot piece’s shoulder. And, I’m not a comic fan, but I bought the first issue (the things I’ll do for people I lust for), and it’s really intriguing. Cool characters, and a great set up. Can’t wait to see what happens! Check it out, boys and girls!
