I am sure y'all will have a great time at Lulu. It's really a gorgeous restaurant!
These are stone killers, little man. They ain't cuddly like me.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I think I counted wrong--it's 10 (11 with Matilda, 12 with Matilda and Javachik).
Minus Matilda and JZ. Matilda has a cold. Sorry to deprive you of her JZness.

There were pictures taken. I'm not sure whose camera, but there was a group shot or two.
It was great seeing Shrift again, and also Laura Shapiro who I haven't seen since the SF F2F.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
I may send my friend who just moved there. It sounds like her kinda thing.

Do! Tell her there will be drinking afterwards.
I'm working on the tour right now. We'll be able to show rare video clips and I can do a little slide show and I'm digging up all these great stories about Tom's misadvantures.
I've got a doozie about his time at the Tropicana with a gay Filipino orgy, a prostitute, Nick Lowe and Spartacus.
