Labor Day
Friday night, Petke calls, asking where's a good Little India restaurant, made my recommendation, and he'll get back to me. On Sat., he does. We'll meet Sunday.
Sat. a.m., went to anti dog pound protest, got photos, talked with the doggie peeps, split, not much of a time.
Sun. a.m. At his request, picked up Petke at his home, he'd left his car downtown. He directed me to the fwy - north of Blue Line, but when I got on, it was stopped, fire trucks directly ahead, no room to maneuver, had to make a choice - no telling how long we'd be stuck, so at Petke's urging, we backed down the damned on ramp to where the 405/710 interchange changes into Pacific - dangerous maneuver to be sure, but we pulled it off. Drove downtown via Pacific, got to Smooths to meet Ryan - but he wasn't there yet!
Waited for an hour, he got up, got there, interesting guy, had some food, but because of p.m. party, had to leave early. Gave him about 75 pages of Smoggy Weather Blues as he'd interested in starting to publish.
Had great time in p.m. at Judy - Paul's - right people were there, great food, beer, etc. Mike Johnson, Paul's friend who takes him to Nicaragua often got blitzed, hope he got home okay. Made genealogy book, took it to get together - Joyce & Bonnie were both interested.
Monday, Sandy called about Huggy Boy's funeral - she wants me to talk & control the crowd on Friday, so I guess I have to go. Didn't do much, though we did go to Sears to buy a new dishwasher. In the p.m., Petke & Ryan showed up, we talked about cable situations, but no focus yet. Then we went to see Dr. Demento - Ryan's idea. What do I have to lose? I think it put him off, but he's been pissed at me. He did agree to do a show for Petke. We then went to Westside Morry's or some such, had happy hour food and beer. Good time. I see what they mean, these are two spontaneous guys, but I'm not sure how happy Mary is with it.
Tuesday, worked. Wednesday, see Tuesday. Interviewed to two articles both days.
