I've just spent the evening with a visiting fellow zemonkey - the notorious and celebrated BealeBlues, the Domo himself...

Our evening began, after a slogged journey through the mythic yet very, very real Los Angeles Traffic (via the 110 North), with a pass by the fabled Dodger Stadium, which, though inaccessible to us, still provided excellent nostalgic value (the placard proclaiming the entrance to its esteemed interior proudly displayed for our passing regard). This was followed by the fueling of the Lalamobile, which our Southern Gentleman insisted on funding (as well as offering a lovely non-caloric cherry-flavored beverage to yours truly, which I am still enjoying at this late hour).
We spent a fruity... erm, fruitful hour perusing the shops on Hollywood Boulevard, where our Beale, against his better instincts, diligently sought a mesh San Francisco Giants cap for a misguided accomplice back home, despite being seduced by the Guinness, Wax and Scientology Museums, as well as the Kodak, Egyptian and Chinese Theaters... He was unsuccessful accomplishing this goal, though not for lack of seeking. Fortified with a UCLA T-shirt and a set of magnificent coffee mugs purchased from an authentic purveyor of Harley-Davidson merchandise, we repaired back to my humble neighborhood and visited Palermo, an establishment long ensconced on Vermont Avenue in Hollywood, famous for its fine Southern Italian cuisine. (Tony was there, as usual, and stopped by to say hello.) There we enjoyed a sumptuous repast of Chicken Parmagiana and Gnocchi con Salsiccia Rotto (for those of you who do not speak the mother tongue, Chicken with Cheese and Dumplings with Tomato Sauce... don't get me wrong, it was damned tasty), garlic infused pastry, delectable beverages and delightful conversation.
Then we made our way over to Ye Rustic Inn on Hillhurst Avenue, an illustrious drinking establishment within walking distance from the House of Lala, had some yummy beer, and were entertained by a couple of very colorful characters (one of whom wove a tale of diving off the top of a mountain - from the seventh waterfall - in Hawai'i into a lake and, having survived this experience with only the loss of his left thumbnail, was transported to a hall by Hawai'ian teenagers who had also survived the experience to be plied with excellent malt beverage and serenaded by a ukelele virtuoso, and the other who is a prolific Guatemalan poet who is currently working on his first novel). Then we visited The Living Room, a drinking establishment across the street from the former drinking establishment, and, though we were not as delightfully entertained, had more beer, and chatted, which was very nice too. (Mind you, if some of us didn't have a deposition the next day, we would have been more adventurous in our consumption of beverages and therefore would have had more to report in that department.)
I then transported the Esteemed Personage back to his lofty hotel (the Westin Bonaventure), during which journey we enjoyed viewing the various places of business on Sunset Boulevard, somehow composing a lively and entertaining conversation from this subject matter, until I deposited him at the entrance of his towering glass crashpad, where we promised to be in touch later tonight (it now being the morning of that day), when he will be being entertained by our lovely and fabulous Red Princess. I expect to find him in excellent spirits.
Perhaps he will share his version of our travels with you at some later date... No photographic record was made of this experience. Y'all'll have to use yer imagiminations.

So, how did you manage to get a 14 year-old-girl past the bouncers at the bar?

lapietra · 12-02-2003, 06:22 AM

They were easily influenced by my funky mojo.

oh man... did I say that out loud?

dickieC · 12-02-2003, 06:43 AM

So, tell us what Beale is like! Did he dazzle with witty lawyer jokes?

lapietra · 12-02-2003, 07:01 AM

You think he'd come all the way out to L. A. just to do that?

I divulge nothing. You must discover for yourself what lies behind the mystique of the great Domo. You must make A PILGRIMAGE, I say!!!! to the land of Mardi Gras.... or maybe somewhere like it...

RuneT · 12-02-2003, 07:06 AM

Did you give him a kiss from me?

chuckie egg · 12-02-2003, 09:38 AM

Did you put him over your shoulder?

RuneT · 12-02-2003, 09:38 AM
