About Hollywood

This is the first photo I've posted on this site; the writer's life is not usually particularly photo-worthy. In case you didn't know, this is Jimmy Karen flanked by me and my wife Esther. The photo was taken during the reception in the atrium of the DGA building following the 'Flickering Blue' screening. I also got a chance to see director Harper Philbin's new film, 'The Gospel According to Roy', which was very good, and funny.

Hollywood is Jimmy's town, (at least it seems to be when you're with him), and he is a natural and generous host. On Saturday night we met Harper and his wife Gail at the gorgeous apartment in the Hollywood hills that Jimmy shares with his wife, Alba Francesca. After a warm welcome, and a little flirting with the ladies, Jimmy jumped behind the bar, "What are we drinking?"

Our time in Hollywood was short, but undoubtedly sweet. The fact that it was 20 degrees and sunny all weekend didn't hurt. We may have even come up with a way to make our feature, 'Slim Bullinger', but I'll leave it at that for now.
