And then the room shook!!

July 30th...so what' happened in the last week?  To be honest, i'm not really in the mood for typing something long, so this'll be brief!

Well, the 'Industry Party' that Margie through for us, was great!  Alot of people turned up and alot of rink was drank.  Among the guests was Frank Stallone (Sly's brother!)...you'd defo know they were brothers!  He invited us out to see his band play on the Thursday, but alas, we were all too hung over!  Jerry Stiller was there...the old guy from King of Queens, was also in Zoolander...is Ben Stillers dad! He's a LEGEND!! Very nice guy!  Dr Evils German assistant in Austin Powers...of course i only found this out today!  JAYSUS!! So i didn't get to meet her.  And aload of other people from actors, to agents, to managers etc.  It was a great night!  Of course, by the end of the night, we started a sing song!  We were on the balcony of this Italian Restaurant and some of the punters from downstairs who were dining, actually came up and stood looking at us and clapping along!!  Hilarious!

From there we went to probably the coolest bar i've ever been in...so cool, that i can't get into the feckin place on weekends coz i don't have BOOBS!!!  It's called the SKY BAR and it's on Sunset.  Has pool outside and an open air bar that looks like it belongs on the set of Cocktail!  Beautiful spot!   So we partied there til it was 2am and the bar was closed...that's the shit thing about here.  You cannot, for love nor money, get a pint after 2am...ANYWHERE!!  Crazy!!

Last weekend, on the Friday, we all met up and went to go to a club called...i can't even remember!  Not because i was drunk, it's because we queued for 25 minutes and there was still no sign of us getting in, so i just left and got in a cab and went to the Viper Room.  It used to be owned by Johnny Depp until very recently.   There was live music.  Saw a band called Matthew Moon...not bad...but not great.  Then styaed up til 5 having one of my music aprreciation nights, where no one can talk coz "This is probaby one of the greatest songs ever written!!"

Saturday, myself and Gav went to the party Stacey and Peter invited us to.  It was a much more relaxed atmosphere.  They had caterers in and a bar out their back garden and people just stood around chatting.  Beautiful house and their dog, Finnegan! is a legend!!  Anyway, there were a few heads there - one of the guys that does alot of voices for the Simpsons, a top Directors agent, a stunt girl!!, producers, the wife of the guy who wrote the West Wing...he was supposed to come, but didn't make it!  It was good night and met some interesting people.

Classes are still going very well...and yesterday, we were taking Margies class and we're going through some things and then the room shook...actually, the whole building wobbled!!  5.3 it measured.  The first Quake since 94!  

After class, myself, Gav, Susan and Nicola went to see the LA Dodgers play the San Francisco Giants (that's baseball, in case you're wondering!!)  Feckin great craic!!  Bought a Dodgers top...i'm such a loser!!  Ended up going to a kareoke bar after and singing the highest version of More Then a Woman, you are EVER likely to hear!!!

So, there ya go!  Not too long left on the aul course.  Heading to The Grove this eve to watch an open air showing of E.T!  Greatest movie of all time! 

GO DODGERS!
