Using Popsugar's demographics, Hulu did a launch party, with Popsugar's help, for their new Young Adult tv series, "Looking For Alaska," based on John Green's novel of the same name.

John Green is also wrote the novel turned hit Young Adult movie, "The Fault In Our Stars."

Based in 2005, the opening scene of the premiere episode is a misleading teaser, don't want to give away the ending.  Either, you have to read the novel or finish watching the series or be well-rounded and do both.

Charlie Plummer plays the male protagonist, Miles Halter, a boarding legacy who's trying to make his way and mark in the world and has a lingering crush on the female protagonist, the name sake, Alaska Young, behind "Looking For Alaska."

Charlie was smart enough to read the novel beforehand, so he can better prepare and be acquainted with his character, that he'll be playing in the Hulu tv series.

Kristine Frøseth plays the title character and the lingering love interest, Alaska Young, of "Looking for Alaska."

Therefore, "Looking For Alaska" has nothing to do with traveling to Alaska.

The novel and the tv series is set in 2005 at an Alabama boarding school.  

Despite being the boarding school's legacy (Miles' dad used to be the school's most popular student), Miles falls into the multi-cultural misfits that scholarship student, Alaska Young, belongs to.  Miles' roommate and mentor, The Colonel, is also a scholarship student.

The Colonel is played by Denny Love.

The lone Asian-American, Takumi, is played by USC alumi and already working theater director, Jay Lee.  Jay proved that he's also a magican by magically vomiting a deck of cards during the following "Looking For Alaska" questions and answers.

In the cafeteria scene, Miles hates Alabama's sticky, sweaty humid climate and the elitist Alabama blue blood brats (Miles hails from Orlando, Florida) but he loves the school's fried burrito.

After the screening and Q&A, folks were hungry for portion-controlled dinner.  

The caterers shrunk the signature fried burrito into a mouth-popper hor d'oeuvre, the mini fried burrito.

The dorms and the boarding school's locale is Deep South Alabama that was filmed in Louisiana, during Spring and Summer.  This means the hors d'oeuvre of mini vegan and beef hot dogs, tiny mac n' cheese balls and plenty of tiny trays of Frito Pies.

If you're a big fan of "The Fault in Our Stars" and literary, intellectual hot chicks, who wouldn't have sex with you, unless you read a book, then give Hulu's "Looking For Alaska," a shot.

Most importantly, regardless of race and age or generation, read author, John Green's other books.  You'll never know.  One of these or some of these will be turned into a tv series or a movie.
