Gus Van Sant has always held a warm and fuzzy spot in our hearts since My Own Private Idaho (Helloooo Keanu Reeves and River Phoenix!) but Van Sant has won us all over again with the shooting of Milk, which we stalked covered while shooting was happening.

Now, Van Sant is set to be speaking at the Milk Club dinner on June 17th. Today's the last day to purchase tickets, so head over to the Milk Club site if you'd like to see this legendary director speak.
