JC saved me. Well he would have until Maheed paid $6.00 of his own gas station money to help me out. This was the exact situation I was referring too when I say I am a mess. Yesterday/last night was unlike most. I meet up with a girlfriend of mine who is in town. She pretty much rocks because we met when we were 5 and have been bff ever since. Then my girl Missy calls me and asks if I want to go to the Luke and Owen Wilson private party. I decided to go and hoped to get an interview or something. I ran by the studio to pick up a recorder and to let “J” know what the plan was. This was at about 4:10ish so we headed to Texas Bar and Grill some drinks and appetizers. It was only 45 minutes later when “J” runs in and says hey I got you on the red carpet for the movie and you have to be there in 1 ½ hrs. I pay the tab and jet out.
I run to my apt. hoping to throw something cute together then I hit the road. I dropped of my friend and then bolted to the theatre. John was my contact but when I go there my cell died. It is new so it wasn’t fully charged. I am able to track him down and as soon as I do Owen is walking by. I know I can be super fan at times but this is work so the better the picture the better everyone can see it. I am doing it for the show. I jump in front of this large security man and start snapping. I get John’s attention and he said there was no room on the red carpet for KKITM aka me. No big I will just politely ask again this time NO is not an option. He agreed but didn’t know if I would actually get to talk to them it was more like recording everyone else’s Q&A. I am squeezed between People magazine and Red magazine. Hmmm haven’t heard of Red.
People magazine was asking the lamest questions. I am shouting without being obnoxious (lol) and trying to ask better questions. The movie was pretty good it’s called The Wendall Baker Story. I left early so I could drop off the audio at the studio for Dino. Then I rushed to the Ghostbar to meet Missy, JC, and Kinsey. Kinsey is so funny I really love hanging out with her. The people at the Ghostbar were just as interested in seeing the Wilson brothers as I was. On one hand I hate to bother but on the other I would love bring interesting material to the show. The Wilson’s were over the crowd and people taking pictures. I looked at my watch and realized its 11:15pm. I wake up early so I really felt like if I didn’t head out I was going to drag today. I jump in my car and drive the 13 minutes to my apt. Uh Oh 2 miles to empty so I pull into a gas station and realize…AHHHHHHHH I left my check card at the Ghostbar. What the heck is my problem these days? I am struggling to get it together. I know it’s easy to pass off as ADD so I won’t. I am going to work on it and hopefully pull myself out of this slump. I didn’t know what else to do besides call JC. I knew he was up and 2 blocks away. He was so nice about it. I felt so stupid and embarrassed to ask but I would have been stranded. The nice attendant over heard my conversation and offered to put $6.00 in my tank. I left him a check for $20.00 but he wouldn’t take it. He said it was okay just an act of kindness. I was so thankful he did that. Today I am going to Ghostbar to pick up my card then to the Chevron he works at to pay him back ASAP! I am exhausted so I better get this taken care of so I can work in a nap. Have a great day!
