HAT and Jeffrey take a few minutes to chat about his plans to return to Flashpoint for student talks after the awards before heading over to school for the reception.
Mos thought the Thunder Easel was extra cool and came back to try drawing a few things himself. Throughout the evening, we ran a montage of Jeffrey's movies and other honors on all the main presentation screens throughout the school.
Everyone on the tour took a break in the Screening Room and thought it was an awfully cool place to watch just about anything.
Once Mos sat down at the drums, we couldn't get him out of the live performance study until we promised that he could bring Kanye West back for a visit.

Of course, Jeffrey and Mos got the full ad pitch and explanation of what Flashpoint Academy was all about. They'll be back.
End of A Long Night - The guys were unbelievably gracious about staying around, taking pictures with all the staff, and signing autographs. It was a great night.
