From http://www.larrytt.com/celebrities_playing_tt/, a web page dedicated to images of celebrities playing ping pong. Also, Ping Pong Playa, the movie, is opening on September 5 in NY, SF, and LA.

I had a great time at this last year. Click here to see my pics of this mongo living history festival. If you like festivals, this is the festival of festivals, and it’s a good walking day because it covers a lot of ground and is right next to the ocean. It’s worth the $10. [...] Pasadena on Lake Avenue was a madhouse today, a Friday afternoon. People and crowds everywhere; it was worse than a weekend. I couldn’t find a place to sit at two establishments, so I headed to Alhambra, Pasadena’s dirty little sister, and the Bun-N-Burger on Main Street. Aaaah, bliss. An almost empty restaurant.
