"life is like a box of chocolates... "
I'm hung over a bit this morning but wanted to share this story with y'all.
I've been taking it easy lately and haven't had a drink in about 5 weeks. I've also been busy working 12 hours a day and saving money. And most importantly thinking about where I'm going to travel next.
Well last night I went out to have a few drinks and had a great time! I needed to unwind a bit.
What a night!!
I had a few of my friends in from L.A. filmmaker types, screenwriters, directors and producers. They came over to check out my new condo. We are sitting around shooting the shit trying to figure out what to do when my phone rings. I answer it and it's one of my friend who's in the "Outfit."
For those of you who are not familiar with the "Outfit" it's the name the boys in Chicago use for the Mob.
Well my friend calls me to invite me to dinner at this restaurant one of his guys opened up. I tell him about my LA friends and he invites us all over.
Me and my LA friends show up and we are the only ones in the place. The bartendars are smokin' hot, from Poland.
We take a seat at the bar and order drinks. A few minutes later the Outfit walks in and what a mix. Everyone got along like they were old chums from way back.
The Outfit guys were fasinated by the stories the LA guys shared and vice versa.
A few stories the LA guys shares..
Vin Diesel is a big cocksucker. He's gay.
Tom Cruise has young hot studs visit him in his trailer on set for back door penetration. He is not gay like Vin Diesel and Kevin Spacey. I don't know what you would call it but it seems a lot of Hollywood types are into wierd shit to get them off.
Benico De Torro banging Scarlett Johanason in the elevator at Chateau Marmont. This is the famous hotel where all the celebrites hang out to party out of the paparazzi's view. Also the place where John Belushi died from an overdose of cocaine.
Rebecca Rominjn Stamos, smoking hot!! Well she loves to "party" and loves to get gang-banged.
The last time I was in LA me and my friends went over to the Chateau Marmont for a few drinks. We sit at the bar and who is there.. Bono, William H. Macy, the guy from Blink 182, Rob Schnieder, several young starletts and Julie Delphy.
Some of these people think I'm "somebody" because I'm at Chateu Marmont. I tell Rob Schieder I wrote a script for him. He's like "really?" Then I tell him, "I'm just kidding, you must hear that all the time." He doesn't know what to say. My friends get a chuckle out of this.
Bono is a really cool guy who has a lot to say as opposed to most of the celebrities in LA who have nothing to say without a script in front of them.
I walk over to Julie Delphy who is sitting alone reading a book. I introduce myself and she invites me to take a seat. I sit down and have a long convestation with her about everything. She is not your typical LA type.
As I'm walking to the bathroom who walks in? Julie Louis-Dreyfus. I do my best Elanie impersanation and yell "get out!" as I make my way out of the bar area. She smiles. If you guys have seen Seinfeld you know what I'm talking about. I laugh my ass off. I've been drinking all day.
Anyways, those are some of the stories my LA friends and I share with the Oufit boys. The Oufit boys share some stories with the LA boys which I cannot share with you guys... I don't want to get clipped. You know what I'm saying?
The Outfit boys love the LA stories and the LA guys love the Oufit stories.
And everyone loves my Costa Rica stories regarding the life of a monger. I tell them about CRT and the gentlemen on the board. They think I'm crazy but enjoy the stories.
The owner of the restaruant is a young Romanian guy who has been in the US for a few years and already has a classy restaurant and catering service. He met one of the Oufit guys and they took care of him.
He is running around taking care of everyone and he is introduced to the LA guys. Well it turns out he was in film school here in Chicago when he first came to town and has aspirations of becoming a film producer. He knows movies and the business. The LA guys share more stories. And the owner feels like he's in the movie business. A connection is a made. And if you don't know, in LA it's all about who you know not how much talent you have.
The LA guys tell him if there's anything he wants call Traylor Park.
I order JaguerBombs for everyone, since I'm not paying for anything.
The Outfit boys and the LA guys don't drink that shit, was there reply. They are tonight. I ask the owner to turn off the music and I make a speech and eveyone drinks and hugs all around. What a scene!!
The food was incredible! And the service... you would think I owned the joint.
What an incredible night!!!
And best of all.... no one pays the bill!! Just like in the movies.
The life of a monger....
Zippy, I too enjoy studying people.
