Not much planned today. Took Laura to the Burbank airport after a coffee in Studio City. Miss the puppy.
Today is my recording session for Pilar Alessandra’s On The Page Podcast, near my uncle’s house in Sherman Oaks. I stop off at Ralph’s, next door to On The Page, and bring up some Heinekens for Pilar, Matt, and I to drink. I forgot that Matt doesn’t drink. Doh. He was cool anyway. It was pure silliness. We covered riveting subjects like: emoticons, query letters, The NWSG (of course), my script, moving to LA, and talking animal movies. Matt did do the worst accent EVER-Northern Irish. Yikes. We loves them.
Afterward, I kill some time at the Guitar Center in Sherman Oaks. I play one of the electronic drum kits. Some dude comes in and buys a $2500 Roland V-Drum kit because he plays Rock Band a lot and wanted to try the real thing. Ahole.
I meet up with Danny Walter (former Boardie and Writing Group dude), who moved to LA in July for the Act One program. He lives over in Mar Vista. We eat some killer empanadas and hang at a Venice Beach coffee shop where we were the only ones sans laptop. Of course, we do bust it out to review some pages of my script, since I call Danny the DOCTOR, because he can diagnose many a story problem.
We meet up with Leilani and Sho at a Venice eatery and drink some margaritas and talk about how we love LA. Much fun.
