I’m back from spring back and now it’s time to rest. I traveled like a gypsy from L.A. to Austin for SXSW and it was awesome. I started my break with only one thing planned and that was to go to L.A. for 2 days but then I called my gay pal Kevin and my straight friend Sean who live in Santa Monica and extended my trip. I stayed in the Four Seasons and there were so many cool people staying there but the greatest person I saw was Clive Owen. HOT! I went there for work and interviewed Will Ferrell who was hilarious and the other cast members for the new movie Blades of Glory. Sunday was when I was supposed to leave and head back but then I changed my flight and partied down in Santa Monica which is one of my most favorite places to vacation. My friends still had there 9-5 jobs so during the day it was up to me to have fun on my own. I am use to doing things solo so it wasn’t a big deal to be alone for the afternoon I actually enjoyed it because I look at it as an adventure. Okay so there is this hostel by the promenade and an International Café that I love so I walked there had lunch and pretended to read my book so I could actually people watch. The street performers are the best and highly entertaining. I was in the middle of my tuna sandwich when this old man who may or may not have been homeless walked by and said “Hello pretty.” I said hi and then waited for him to keep walking but NO he decided to pull up a chair and sit with me. I was a little annoyed but hated to be rude. Instead of thinking this is the worst situation I decided to turn it and use this as an opportunity to meet a new friend. This man was talking no stop so I let him ramble about gas prices while I scoped out the friend situation. I was waiting for a cool chick or a good looking guy to stroll by solo. 10 minutes had gone by and no one came by that wasn’t coupled up. Finally this tall pretty good looking guy walked by and turned into the café. Okay I thought this is it so I will make my move to get out of my conversation and start a new one. I jumped out of my chair and gave this guy a hug then said “Hey OMG I have been waiting for you way to be late.” I wasn’t sure if he would play along or think wow she’s odd. My luck was right on and he looked at the situation then said “Hey girl sorry I’m late I will tell you all about it.” Then he introduced himself to Joe the old man and then politely said “Hey man good to meet ya but she and I need to talk privately.” Joe was cool about it and shook my hand then walked on. My new friend was named Mark and he was an actor. LOL! They all are. We talked for about 15 minutes then he headed on and I continued my people watching. About 20 minutes went by and that’s when I met Johnny and Ryan 2 cool guys who are Indie film producers they do short films at the Sundance Film festival. They were eating lunch and hanging out so when they asked me to join I happily accepted. We talked about movies and music then headed the 2 blocks to check out the beach. I had the best time and just love Cali you never know who you are going to meet.
