NEW PLAN for meeting beloved Stompy Jon B. tomorrow night:
Meeting around 7:30 (depending on what time Jon's done with the shoot) at El Cholo: 1121 S. Western Ave., LA, 90006.
I will plan to stay late on the West side until Jon is done and will bring him to the restaurant. I will post an updated ETA as soon as Jon contacts me tomorrow evening. Sound good?
Please RSVP to me if you think you may come (ktaylor9 AT mac DOT com) so that I can call ahead for a table.
Hey Kristin, et al.
I'm only on line for a few minutes, but it looks like I'll be done sooner than I thought. I should be wrapping up no later than 4 or 4:30, so if you want to make dinner a little earlier that should be fine. If I'm just complicating things, then let's keep it at 7:30pm.
Today was fun. I tried on different clothes, including the Silver Suit, but they ultimately decided on something simpler; I went over various ideas for the ad with the director and the agency people; and I gave multiple theremin demonstrations, including two performances of Video Killed the Radio Star.
Everyone on the crew and from the agency are super friendly. Tomorrow is going to be pretty grueling as I play variations of the same 30 second thing over and over and over for hours at a time, but they understand that this is all new for me and are making the experience more than pleasant.
P.S. El Cholo looks great!
Jon, WOOT! That's SO much better for me. Call me on my cell when you get off work.
I'm happy to make dinner earlier--anyone have objections to 6:30? Oh wait--Robin, will you be done?
Boo on no silver sex suit! Yay on making it a good experience! Yay on the world fame that will surely ensue once theremin-playing Jon is seen by the masses.
I will get there a bit late. Order me green corn tamales and i will get there in time to eat them!
Taps toe, waits for El Cholo report...
El Cholo won't happen for another 14 hours, Laura.
Ah, I thought it was last night! See what I get for skimming.
eta: if I had noticed either Kristin saying Tomorrow Night, or seen the time stamps I would have known this. Duh.
So celebration of Mardi Gras and Jon's birthday. Yay!
YES! We're totally making people in sombreros sing happy birthday to Jon tonight.
