Re: [ARSCLIST] Well, obviously...
Thanks for the apology, but I got a good laugh about your L.A. exploits. That would make a great Broadway musical comedy. Have you spoken to Mel Brooks? I'm sure he could make a great high-kicking production number about the pickle-in-the-slot thing, maybe even with dancing Nazis....

Subject: [ARSCLIST] Well, obviously...
I didn't intend to send a private missive to David G. to the entire ARSC list,
so please 'scuse the intrusion. Let a gross of end-stage Guy Lombardo Deccas
fall upon my head. I could not be more embarrassed.
Fortunately, I did not include in my email to David any details about that
recent trip to L.A., such as the fact that my wife, Chris, and I were booted out
of Grauman's Egyptian Theater for making shadow bunnies on the screen when the
road-show version of "The Patent Leather Kid" (1927) grew unbearably long; were
summarily dusted out to Melrose Avenue after chaining ourselves to the Bronson
gate at Paramount; or were caught drinking Coca Cola out of paper bags at the
Highland Center, a notorious Pepsi franchise; tried to shove pickles from Nate
and Al's through the mail slot of the Scientology Center on Hollywood Boulevard.
Not to mention making off with some of the fresh flowers left at Valentino's
crypt; or that we happened to be in the same restaurant as Mr. Blackwell, who
told me that my Jos. A. Banks blazer was giving him indigestion.
Nor did I tell David what I really think of Sam OR the turnpike system.
Heaven help me had I shared any of that with the good Mr. Giovannoni and,
thereby, with all of you.
So, by and large, I doubt that I've done lasting harm to myself other than to
appear pretty stupid, and probably none of you would ever hire me now to work in
your libraries or studios. David will probably have to upbraid me publicly for
even THINKING that an ARSC V.P. would bend a deadline, especially without a
damned healthy bribe.
If so, I will respect that...then find some way to blame Sam for it. Or, the
Pennsylvania Turnpike.
(But, the smart money's on Sam.)
