A 3 hour talk with a Getty imposter

I help her take her bags upstairs and get comfortable in her new room that someone else is paying for. When I get back from buying her a phone card for $10 at Rite Aide, she tips me $5 and tells me a story. It's fucking amazing. It's way too good to be true. It takes 3 hours.

I don't know if I should start with the Dog Kidnapping or the obvious. What is she doing here at this party hotel? Don't play coy with me. You know. What else could she be doing here? She's cutting deals. That's what. She is printing out non-disclosure agreements and loving it.

We love her regardless. I love her.

I spend 3 hours up there and here's what happened. You can also read verbatim what she said on the Wikipedia site under J. Paul Getty.



The Gettys are dead or dieing, she says. She's some dethroned N.Y. debutante and her friends are all in on the deal, too. They're drunk and on some kind of uppers. The Blonde is here today. She hangs out and eats some room service and drinks a whole bottle of wine.

E.von H. G. insists that she's been Married to him once before. Her and J. G. Getty are getting remarried and this time she's taking his name.

Elvier Hansford-Getty. She's proud. The Mistress had a child at the same time that her and J.G. had a miscarriage. They vacation in Palm Springs with the Steeles. Danielle Steele and her daughters who do nothing the whole time but try to get down J.G.'s pants. They had a fire one year. It was the assistants fault.



She's really good at weaving this tale. She's done it so many times before. Her only mistake is that she asks me for my credit card. She needs to order internet service again because the competition has stolen her website. She wears a black dress and talks about how she's also an executive movie producer. Her website is just as far out as she is.



http://www.dragonslayerfilms.com/



She's making a Jimi Hendrix movie and the amount of money increases each time she tells the story. It starts at $110 million and ends up around $185 million. She's out of her mind.

The next day, her sugar daddy calls the hotel to tell us he wants the credit card shut down. He wants all this shit stopped. He doesn't want to be put on hold.

NEW POST MAY 6th, 2008
P.S. To all the comments, btw, I love the coMmmmmmmmmments, I can't respond to you if I don't have an email address. I also would like to state that I'm out of any trial against her. I didn't get scammed and I don't have the time for that Craziness in my life and I didn't get scammed, unless you get court papers to make me show up there is no fucking way. I am glad that woman was only in my life for 4 days.
I think we should make this a forum for people that have been scammed by her or are curious if they should go into business with her. If you're seriously considering investing in a movie about Jimi Hendrix then call me, because I need to come over there and slap you around. Don't give these fucks any money! Don't quit your job. Don't believe her. Audiotape the conversation and then keep it for a funny thing as you look back over your life. That's about as much as she's good for. Definitley not worth your hard earned money.


New Post 5-13-08

Please leave an email address IN your post if you comment and also for everyone that's left a comment. If you want to do anything against this woman. Contact each other and shut her down!


New Post 11-10-08

Her website seems to be down

NEW UPDATE:
05/24/2011
She's Still on the prowl and up to her old tricks via.  Watch-out!
She will cost you a ton of money.
And if you've got all this money, you should send me a bit for warning you.

Clippers Vs. Bobcats


Whats going on today? Well, you could pick up a copy of the Downtown News and read all about that bar mogul that's turning downtown into a lush haven. That new club called 'The Doheny' next to the Staples center sounds great. Do I really need to pay the $2750 for the membership fee? Does it matter that I'm Concierge at the Dirty Hot Hotel?!? I guess not. I'm gonna sneak over there with my camera and take all kinds of pictures.


Downtown fun?


Well, the Clippers are playing the Bobcats and that should be fun. You can get tickets for nothing.


Mode is still getting some stuff done over down the street. I think they should be open in another week or two. There is also a restaurant called Tranquility base that is suppose to open soon. That should be a good place to eat. I havn't been invited down to eat there yet, but I'm sure the invitation will come.

Lakers vs Cavaliers

Get up early today and make it over tot he Staples Center for the game at 12:30.

What else is going on today!?!?
Nothing. If my co-worker doesn't stop talking.

Garth Brooks in Los Angeles

I know the picture is from NYC but this is the best I could do.

Go crazy. Get your cowboy hat and boots on and walk around downtown like some urban cowboy. Garth has 3 shows going on at the Staples Center. He's probably playing right now. All 3 are sold out but come down and talk to me. I can get you tickets. We've always got tickets for you at the Dirty Hot Hotel.


Bagavagabond explosion at Pacific Electric Lofts last night was fun. The line was around the block for the elevator, so we walked up the 7 flights of stairs. Somebody knocked on the wrong door, and was greated by an angry tenant with a hockey stick. My wife swears she saw him get hit by the guy, but the gay couple didn't want to start any trouble. What a place!! The beer ran out about 10:30 so they let in people for $5. I love it. The art was shit, and I thought the band was SK 87 but it wasn't so the whole night was kinda shitty. Look for more events at the penthouse level for the PELOFTS.


If you need anything hit the concierge button on your telephone.

Garth Brooks at the Staples Center


He's got 2 shows tonight. One at 6pm and the other at 10pm. He's got 3 more tomorrow but they're all sold out. It's going to be one hell of a western weekend here at the Dirty Hot Hotel. You're gonna love it!! Break out those Cowboy hats and get ready for the beefy Orange county 50 somethings to get their groove on. What is Garth looking back at?


Okay. I know it's sold out, but I've clocked tickets on EBAY and Craigslist starting around $200. If you're afraid to buy over the internet, come down here and we'll work it out at the Concierge desk. Give me the cash and we'll meet the guy in the parking lot. Good times.
Check out Kyoto restaurant inside the Wilshire Grand for some of the good stuff. Great Tempura bar.

Robot Concierge




I need one of the Honda ASIMO robots and one of the Hitachi brand EMIEW robots. I could make them wrestle each other in the lobby. Anyone remember that TV show robot wars, I could totally do that in the lobby.




What else is there to do today besides watch a robot wrestling match. It's raining, so not much.


Stay inside your suite at the Dirty Hot Hotel and enjoy some room service and meditation on the Mezzanine. I need to set up the meditation session and the robot interviews. There is so much to do at the Dirty Hot Hotel, so be sure to keep yourself just as busy with the following:




The Kings are playing the Ducks tonight at Staples center.


I haven't got time to look for tickets, oh is that a $20? Thanks. We can find you some tickets for free around here somewhere. Where did we put the free tickets.




Then split into 2 people and send one of them over to the Redcat.

The Jewelry District Beckons

You should really take her out and buy her something nice. It's going to be her birthday soon and you've had no time together lately. Bring up your bling level while you're at it with British pound symbols and Euro symbols around your neck. Make sure they have at least 400 diamonds each. I just put up a dollar symbol cuz we might as well face it; even though it's tankin, it's our tanker.

So, yea, wait until the Ruble is worth more than the dollar.

Get Ready for Garth! Staples Center 25 - 26


Tell me it's not true. Tell me you got the tickets. I just went to check it out and this is what I got:



Individual tickets for these shows are sold out. However, you can still get a private Event Suite to see this legendary performer.
12-person suite $2,040 *20-person suite $3,400 *24-person suite $4,080 *


Get the fuck out of here. You know those Garth fans will be staying here at the Dirty Hot Hotel.

Wow. So let's do some math and call all your friends. Get everyone to chip in $170 per person and you are solid gold. Garth Brooks at the Staples Center is a set up for a riot. I don't even think we have any rooms left, down here, down at the Dirty Hot Hotel.
What day is it? Wednesday. Wasn't it Wednesday last week? This day keeps repeating itself. There is more Tristan and Isolde down at the Dorthy Chandler Pavillion. Don't underestimate Wagners tale that rings true today, really more 1999. Lust, Sex and all the goods starting around 7pm. Go early and take a walk around. Go walk over to that fountain. Then just walk straight up to the box office and ask for some nice seats and go put on a suit, for crying out loud. Okay, forget it. Go rent a Tuxedo and find a hooker on 5th and Hill and get her a dress and then just go for it. Take her to the Opera.


What else do you have to do today?

Jaime Foxx comes to Downtown!


I heard Jaime Foxx is coming to town. He's staying down here at some hotel on Skid Row to study up for a role in an upcoming movie. Oh the downtown denizens can not wait. Don't forget now that he promised the pirate hat wearing homeless fella a role. At least that's what the pirate hat wearing homeless fella says.


Jaime Foxx is going to be playing the role of Nathaniel Anthony Ayers.


They start shooting in January. Get ready for some hot Jaime Foxx action. Don't forget he won himself an oscar in 2005.


Go Jaime!!!

Clippers vs. Jazz and Lakers vs Nuggets

A basketball spectacular.

Both of our Hometown favorites are playing

Get in on the Clippers game at 12:30

Hang out and enjoy yourself during the game and then head over to seven grand inbetween games to get drunk on whiskey drinks. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

Then at 7:30 get yourself together for the Lakers game. They're playing the Denver Nuggers.
It should be an exciting game.

Do yourself a favor and love yourself. Figure out what you want to do with your life and then start doing it.

Go outside and talk to some homeless about how they got to where they are. Most likely they didn't follow their dream. Or their dream was to smoke enough crack to get all up in it.

Supersized Sunday - Valet predictions

These girls were a handful last night, but it's oh so nice to have them around today. Go on down to the flea market happening in downtown. It's brand new. It's in the parking lot on 8th and Grand.

Then don't forget to ring in the Chinese New Year with some fun and friends You're gonna love it. The Nokia Theater show starts at 2 pm. It's an early show.
Where am I going to watch the game later?!?
Try Caseys Irish Bar and Grill, or the top floor of the Westin.
Here are some of the Valet guys predictions.
The Chargers are gonna get killed, but they'll cover the 14 point spread.
Bet the Chargers and Under and you'll come out ahead.
The Giants are to beat the Packers. Bet the Giants.
Enjoy yourself and drink from plastic cups.

Saturday, January 19, 2008

Tristan and Isolde

Tickets still available from the rear balcony for $38 bucks or you can go up and sit in the Grand Circle for $238.

This story of forbidden love just sizzles. I don't know what they're doing over there but its suppose to be Wagners ode to sexual ecstasy. He was some cat that was born in Leipzig and died in Venice. He's been dead for 150 something years.

And you can't come up with anything creative?

When was the last time you had a chance to go to the Opera in your home town? Put on that nice suit and head over to the Opera. The action starts at 7pm. What else is there? It's Saturday, so you should be able to get yourself into trouble in any of the 15 downtown districts. Go to the lounge inside the Redcat theater. It's entrance is at the rear of the Disney Concert Hall. Go get yourself a cappuccino or a shot of whiskey.

The Opera is happening at the Dorthy Chandler Pavillion, which is right next door to the Walt Disney Concert Hall. Get out there!!

La Cita


Head over to the good stuff. Eat out.


Ask for blow jobs.


Brad Renfro died the other day, he was a favorite of the Dirty Hot Hotel. The dude was only 25.


Things are lively around here at the dirty hot hotel. I'm waiting to go on lunch. Things should be delicious. I need a break.


I need to go home early. I also need to book a Limo and order food from Ciudad for some executive lunch. 1 hour notice. No Problem. I've got it covered.

Thursday, January 17, 2008

The line was around the block at Edison

Wow. That Thursday thing has caught on. Maybe a Milan style Drink and Tapas restaurant might really catch on downtown. I love it around here. So the line is huge, so we just go to 107 down the street.



Fuck long lines.



Bar 107 is cozy and we order a couple beers and twist around in the booth seats and head over to Banquette where the meal is delightful and we end up having a chat with The Pirate Bum. He's got a date with Jaime Fox to make a movie. I ask him if he has his signed autographed pictures and he asks me if I want one.

Then we split and call it a night.



The homeless rule the night, but I'll be back.

Lakers vs Suns and Edison Happy hour


Its a big day at the Dirty Hot Hotel.


First things first. Put down that bottle of Hennessy. It's 12:30 for crying out loud.

You've got to save up for later. There is something happening at the Edison tonight that is going to make you say "Oh my GAWD, Sheila."


Happy Hour Martinis for .35 cents.


You've got a 1910 atmosphere, you've got 1910 prices.

Happy hour is 5pm till 7pm

Order 10 of em for 3.50.


Then once your finished getting shitfaced, you can head over to the Staples Center to watch the Lakers hopefully beat up on the Suns. I couldn't find any tickets at the box office, but I craiglisted some tix for about $250 to $300.


Enjoy yourself and don't forget who you are. You're a drunk, but the world loves you.

Hot Tuesday Action


Green Umbrella: Salonen Conducts Messiaen Walt Disney Concert Hall , Los Angeles , CATue, Jan 15, 2008 08:00 PM



Just clocked some tickets for $27 dollars in the orchestra.



Then your weekly literati fun is happening at the LA Library.


Tue, Jan 15, 7 PM
Muhammad Yunus
Creating a Worldwithout Poverty
In conversation withRick Wartzman,director of the Drucker Institute, Claremont Graduate University
What if you could harness the power of the free market to solve the problems of poverty, hunger, and inequality? To some, it sounds impossible. But the Nobel Peace Prizewinner who invented micro-credit is doing exactly that. Yunus's "Next Big Idea" offers a pioneering model for nothing less than a new, more humane form of capitalism.


Get out there and do something different.

Living downtown

Who's the HFPA and why is Creans working for them? Poor Steve lost an e.
Sophia fucking Loren movies and whatever the fuck ten-0-win is. Will Bill Gates just buy downtown already and build a Las Ramblas down Broadway. It could be the cool Latin America Street with street entertainers and cotton candy and someone selling cell phones on a cart.
no.

But you're living in the middle of a homeless epidemic. Yep, those are rats jumping out of the bushes surrounding Pershing square. Where are those feral cats the rampart district got. They should just get all the homeless people hanging out on the benches to feed the cats and it could be a section 8 program.
Whatever. You love it around here and you're not going anywhere. Surrounded by freeways. One of these freeways stretches to the other coast.
Just go for it man. Rent that car, get insurance and drive it into the Atlantic.

Get out of the hotel at least. I know it's Monday, but you could get walking down to Mode and see how the service is. Go out and get into trouble.

If your staying in the financial district then always a great choice is Ciudad. Go pick up on some of the girls that are from out of town and staying in cloisters at the Westin. They're here for a business conference. They've got to eat dinner sometime, so just pull up a seat at the bar and tip the host for no reason. Tip the bartenders before you even buy a drink. Then tip him again. Then order a drink.

Go into the Kitchen and tip the kitchen staff.

Then the musicians. Then have dinner and see if they charge you.

I know I would.

If you're living in the Historic core then head over to Rocket Pizza, and eat and then go hang out in bar 107. You could always go climb the fence and see Crean and the HFPA at the LA theater.

But it's Monday and you want to stay in. Do something creative at least.

Monday Monday Monday



Walk over to the ice rink and experience the good stuff.
Jan. 14, 10 a.m.-10 p.m.: The South land’s largest outdoor skating rink is open. There’s also music from 2-4 p.m. —Dread Daze appears.


You can go to a different kind of meeting that doesn't judge you for using dope. The toastmasters meeting from noon to 1pm on 320 w. 4th st. You should still put down the pipe and bring your A game.

Get those communication and leadership skills down pat.


Then head over to Olive street and check out the new 24 hour diner in town. It's called Mode. I Can't wait to head on over and get a free meal.


Yummy.

Late desk Clerks and PBX


They always late.
Then they want to leave early.
They also always playing around on the Internet and goofing off.
I think they should be fired.

Downtown Los Angeles Blog


The Lakers are playing the Grizzlies at 7:30pm tonight. I just clocked some tickets for $230 bucks, 11 rows from the court.


What else is happening today? Well it's Sunday, so you should get your ass to church. You can go to St. Peters on Broadway or the Cathedral of our Lady of Angels on Grand. You know that Cathedral takes up 2 city blocks. It's massive. They've got so many worship rooms, that you could probably bring in a chicken and sacrifice it and no one would know. It's really big in there.


Okay and then after you confess all your sins to the western gods, you should head on down to Caseys Irish Bar and Grill and hope that the Cowboys get pummeled by the Giants. Order some Guiness and just keep drinking until you fall off your stool or you're late for the Lakers game.


Have a good Sunday and don't call your mother. What does she know about anything anyways?

Concierge Downtown Los Angeles


I've earned $7 bucks for doing nothing.

I took some bags out of a room and then tried to get the helicopter across the street to be a little more quiet. I don't think they heard me. Guests upstairs want half off their rooms. Those bastards.

Our esteemed train wreck is still up on the top floor. He is so fun to talk too. He went to jail for 4 months and told us that jail is not fun. He was taking his little dog for a walk and he loves talking about movies and producing and working TV and all that jazz.

He wants us all to be in a movie up in his room. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

I'll pass.

Art opening at Metropol


Come on down to the Cafe Metropol and hang out.


Photography.


I was just down there the other day. You are gonna love it.

There is this photograph of some police officers on bikes and it looks 3-D.


You can also go over to the Staples center and watch some Ice Hockey tonight. Should be a good time.


It's Saturday folks, get some sushi at Takami restaurant and then walk over to the arts district and hang out at The Edison Bar.


Downtown is like the wild west on the weekends. Anything goes.

Have sex in the street.

Drive your car on the sidewalk.


Do whatever you want, but watch out. The local lock up is Twin Towers. Oh you don't want to go there. Believe me. It's nothing but heartache and broken dreams.


Friday, January 11, 2008

Comments heard on the street last night

Some very tall very angry downtown degenerate was yelling as he crossed in the middle of the street.

"WHere do all you people come from?! Go back home!!"

Then there was a plump white girl and some spanish guy and she said:

"You know I see all these people looking at art, then I see all these homeless people, I can't stand it...where's the next art gallery."

Oh it's good times and irony at it's best down here.

Go to Petes cafe and order some brunch. They serve brunch down there everyday fro 11am to 3pm.

Thursday, January 10, 2008

Clippers vs Magic

What are you going to do today? Well, the Orlando Magic are playing the Los Angeles Clippers at the Staples Center around 7:30. You are going to love it. I got some tickets in section 111 for $550 dollars. Whatchya think about that?

You're bored out of your skull. Why don't you jump on the subway and take it to Union Station and hang out at TRAX for lunch. Mmmmmmmmmmmmm. It's a little restaurant inside the Train Station. Also you can relive the scene where Decker goes to see his lieutenant to find out about the replicants. You can pretend that your leaving town to start things fresh and new. Forget about the lousy life you've been living and start a new one.

Don't listen to your Mother. Do whatever you want.

Not too much happening today so start drinking at TRAXX and see where the day takes you.

The Lost Souls Cafe


The Lost Souls Cafe.
It's located in Harlem alley on 4th. Harlem alley is between Spring and Main. This area was so fucked up in the 80's. There are still blood stains if you look really closely. There's really a lot of late night action down there. Rocket Pizza. Petes. Bar 107. Most of them are open till 11pm too.
They stop serving sandwiches at 9pm but the the lost steam with hazelnut was to die for. I ordered a quiche from the display case and some carrot cake. A lot of local papers and flyer's for cool stuff in this place. The bulletin board is fantastic. They are celebrating 2 years in business on the 19th of this month.
Also I would like to know what happened to the "Nobody Reads in LA book club." The guy/girl moved to portland?!? What the fuck. That was a really great idea. Read a book about a movie, watch the movie and then invite the author to the movie and have a little Q & A. Can somebody else start doing that please.

Clinton wins N.H.

Life getting you down - get blasted like an east coaster

You could be with this gang of chicks in Connecticut. What the fuck are they doing over there. It actually looks kinda exciting. Scoring dope, and shooting it up in the gazebo in the town square.
Oh life is good down on the grassy knoll. It sure isn't like that around here. Oh Connecticut is so far away. Good thing.
Make some resolutions this year to get the fuck out of your haze and work it out.
There is so much to do, and if you don't pick up a home in forclosure this year, you're being unamerican and slipping.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm what else to do today?

Go to a meeting.

Walt Disney Concert Hall Action


Finally a reason to hit the Walt Disney Concert Hall. Some interesting musicians coming down to play. Start drinking early and make some moves to get things accomplished this year.

Tickets for this event are $20 bucks plus a $6.50 service charge.


The Walt Disney Concert Hall is on Grand and 1st. You're going to love the show.


Hitting the Concrete


And speaking of cities, they’re being explored sonically this winter at the Walt Disney Concert Hall. As a part of the Concrete Frequency series, arguably the most eclectic group of musicians ever gathered at the Hall appear Jan. 8 for an evening called Songs of the City. The indie players in attendance, many of whom will play with ideas of living in a city, include Marc Bianchi (from bands Her Space Holiday, xoxo and panda), Inara George (The Bird And The Bee), Kyp Malone (TV on the Radio), Daniel Rossen (Grizzly Bear), Bob Mould, Stevie Jackson (Belle and Sebastian), and actress/ musician Zooey Deschanel. The Walt Disney Concert Hall is at 111 S. Grand Ave., (323) 850-2000


Here is a complete group of artists.




Get out of here. The guy from Devo is going to host it. He's been making the soundtrack for rugrats lately, but don't hold that against him. Rugrats is a great show. Don't forget to take your dog for a walk and love it.

Who's your Obama?

Doesn't Big Bear look romantic. Replace that Model T with an Escalade and you have a modern picture. You really need a vacation from your winter vacation.
Take a look at the foothills you guys! That's snow. Who's going to Big Bear?!? Bear Mountain is reporting 10 inches of fresh powder overnight, making the total snowfall about 17 inches. Imagine hanging out in front of that fireplace in your little cabin. You love it. What are you going to do today?!? Take the first Monday of the year off and go to Big Bear. Ski lift tickets are $51 adult all day or $40 half day. Rentals are like $12. Get those chains out and start those engines.
There isn't much going on in downtown today. So get out of here, it just snowed. You know how rare that is?!? If you don't go see the snow this week, it will all be gone.

J restaurant and lounge


I have been drinking for a couple hours now. My Italian buddy who lives in the building is celebrating his girlfriend leaving, so we drink a lot of beer, wander down to Rite Aid and rock and roll out of there with some more beer. It's down on 5th and Broadway and there is a loft for sale across the street for 129K starting bid. Some foreclosure sale. We buy the beer and skip the loft sale and walk home.
Im drunk.
I get in a fight with a potted plant and stagger into the building.
I get home and immediately find out that I've got a date with J restaurant and I've got to go see this place. I couldn't get a reservation about a week ago. I invite some hot Italian babe. We arrive within 15 minutes of our reservation and scope out the building. It's a large two story structure with the restaurant and patio on the ground level and the lounge and dancefloor upstairs.
We hang out at the small restaurant bar and order some more drinks. I think I've got a Havana cab and she's drinking s chocolate martini. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. We sit against the wall across from the bar, cuz the restaurant bar is small and bare, the high couch is comfortable. My drink is delicious. We wander around the joint. The restaurant is full of scents that make my stomach start to sing. The outside patio is amazo. Huge. Gigantic. I'm gonna have a party there. I want my wake to be there.
We get there around 9pm and the lounge upstairs doesn't open till 10pm. The bar drinks are lasting. We have a cigarette out on the patio. It starts to rain lightly.
Soon it's 10pm and the hostess lets us go upstairs to check the lounge and dancefloor out. It's $15 bucks a person and no outside drinks every night of the week. You're going to love it here. Lounge full of candles and low lights. Long Couches. An area to smoke without going in a glass box or back downstairs. The dance floor is about the size of the one at Elevate. Maybe a bit bigger. Maybe the same. Nicely laid out. The views from the top floor and the patio are amazing. I order a jack and coke and ask if they let in underage girls with knives. They don't think I'm funny.
My date finds me ordering another drink and chases me away from the bar, but it's too late for that, I've got it and paid the bartender. I run to the dance floor and we're the only ones besides 3 hot Asians. It's a rainy Saturday and things are dead all over downtown, Bianca, tells me. I tell her I don't care, I still love the place and will push it upon the dirty hot hotel guests.
Then when I think the nights over and I'm in the car, driving home at 10:30, my Italian friend calls and says his girlfriend came back and took the car. He needs a lift to his DJ gig.
We pick him up in front of the building and drive him over to Little Tokyo. Somewhere near Clink street; I can't tell you exactly. We decide to go inside and check it out. A great illegal bar. We are the only ones there, besides the couple that lives in part of it and runs the bar. They've built a bar and have a bathroom. I love it here. We drink some beer at the cool bar and my Italian friend plays some records and we leave after a few records. There wasn't really anything more illegal than not paying taxes. It wasn't that shocking. I think someone was smoking a joint.

J restaurant and lounge was good. I didn't eat in the restaurant but the dance lounge is worth it if you want to wow your friends some cool and downtown club. No sneakers and you might as well wear a dinner jacket, you asshole.

Somewhere near clink street is only available if you stay at the Dirty Hot Hotel.

Basketball spectacular


Hi there:


I'd like a rainy rain sandwich with extra rain please.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Delicious.


Uh oh. Things are sure to get unruly over here at the Dirty Hot Hotel.

One of the guests upstairs is notorious for causing problems. He use to be a big time super actor, but now his latest move is a TV show called Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew. If he's staying with us, he's probably fallen off the wagon. I just got a crazy call from his friend. She is really coked out, how do I know over the phone? She's talking like a buzzsaw and she tells me way too much personal information at 8am, Sunday morning. Now, I know her Grandfather was a great white hunter and that she's not pregnant, she's getting the divorce from her 3rd husband and taking her first husbands name. She knows everyone and drops so many names on the phone, I don't know whether to make her a VIP or call her a liar. There are so many red flags, but she's got gusto and pushes and pushes and pushes. She is such a hot mess.
Half an hour later she's standing at the desk. She walks straight in the lobby and bellys right up to the desk and wants to see some rooms. She's gonna pay cash. I think it's a great idea and we're off. While we're up, looking at rooms, she decides that she is going to leave a rather large Buddha at her friends door, one that she just pulled out of a planter in Chinatown. He kicks it like a soccer ball down the hallway. I ask her if they are really friends and she laughs. I press the elevator button.
We come downstairs and now she's giving away a scarf to an English couple, it's all about positive energy, she says. The English couple are so nice and take it, but they've got nowhere to put it. Their bags are fully packed. I see them throw it away in the driveway on the way out. She is out of her mind. We finally come upon the realization that she doesn't have a credit card, and so I tell her that we can continue our very interesting conversation when she returns with a credit card. She leaves.
After telling Duster, a valet, and Scotty in the kitchen crew about my mess, they agree that the girl is crazy and Duster has a great story about our buddha kicking hero. About 3 months ago, he's coming out to valet to get into his convertible and its ready and he jumps in. He's super high on something. He looks at the valet, and closes the door, then he looks at his girlfriend who's in the car already. Then he says:
"I was rich once, I'll be rich again, bitch."
Then he peels out.

Oh good times.

What else is there to do today, besides having a celebrity sized meltdown?!?

Hmmmmmmmmm there's double trouble at the Staples Center. The Clippers are playing an early game and the Lakers are playing later on. I've clocked tickets for cheap prices.


Jan. 6, 12:30 PM

Crash Mansion lets in underage girls and knives


Crash Mansion shooting in downtown leaves 1 dead, 2 hurt. First person to be killed in 2008 downtown. Joseph Cosina.

A fight that began on the dance floor at Crash Mansion in downtown Los Angeles led to gunfire in the parking lot.
By Sam Quinones and Susannah Rosenblatt, Los Angeles Times Staff Writers January 5, 2008
Joseph Cosina lived for his first car, a black 2008 Volkswagen GTI that he bought on his birthday in November.Early Friday morning, he may have died for it too.The 19-year-old South Gate resident had driven his car with three friends to downtown's Crash Mansion nightclub at 1024 S. Grand Ave. About closing time, a fight broke out inside the club, police said. Cosina and his friends had no connection to the fight, said his father, Hector.Security guards asked them to remain inside with the other patrons. But a melee and then gunshots erupted in the parking lot, and Cosina somehow was able to leave the club. From the club's balcony, his friends saw him running through the parking lot, perhaps to protect his car, his father said.Cosina was shot in the heart. He was taken to California Hospital Medical Center, where he died about 2:30 a.m.His death was the first homicide this year in downtown Los Angeles.Los Angeles Police Lt. Paul Vernon said the shooting did not appear to be gang-related. It grew from an argument after a woman was stabbed in the arm in the nightclub, Vernon said. The fight spread to the parking lot as the club was closing.One man was shot in the stomach and another in the leg, Vernon said. They also were taken to California Hospital and were expected to recover. Their names were not released; police said they were in their 20s. The woman who was stabbed was treated at the same hospital and released, he said.Officers interviewing witnesses said patrons under 21 appeared to have been drinking.A Crash Mansion employee said the club would have no comment.Cosina had graduated from Downey High School last year and was attending Cerritos Community College, studying business administration, his father said. He worked part time as a waiter at Gloria's Restaurant. - L.A. Times

P.S. The Chinese are coming!


Oh yea!! You hate your job! You've been hired on, along with several homeless people, to clean the streets of L.A. You hate your job. You don't want to power wash the streets. You won't get down on your hands and knees and scrape the crud off the street. All you do is hang out on the corner with Dr. Peppy, the guy in the wheelchair, and sell drugs.


Well, your fired then!!


What else is happening. The Daily news is crying out that Los Angeles hasn't been this safe since the 50's. More police on the street is the reason why. So, get out there and start livin. The Rite Aide on 5th and Broadway is way crazy fun. You can get a 12 pack of Milwaukees Best for like $6.99. Pass some out on the way home~! Make strange new friends.
Also, if you forgot, the Chinese are coming. Somebody made it easier for the Chinese to get visas and so now you can expect a lot more visiting your hot little action. Oh they love Los Angeles and why wouldn't they. Everyone loves L.A.

Is it Wednesday?


I think it's Wednesday, now it looks funny.
Wednesday. Trying spelling that 3 times.
Wednesday.

Okay, today your gonna head over to 626 reserve around 4, when they open, and have a Chicken panini with caramelized onions and provolone cheese for $9 and then have some wine to go with it. Then you'll wander the Historic Core and check out some of the wierd shit in this district. Did you bring your dog? You can stop by Pussy and Pooch, over on 6th and Main, and pick up some of the good stuff.

Later tonight you can catch the Clippers play the Hornets over at the Staples Center. We can get you center court for $1500 a ticket. Court side. Or we can go for the $10 tickets in the nosebleed behind the hoop. You call the shots!! So call me down here at the front desk, I'm hanging out somewhere in the lobby and I'll help you make a decision.

The Rose Parade


You can't sleep. Face it.

Why did you snort all that meth?


Maybe you should just turn up the trance and go to sleep. Alright. That didn't work. You might as well go down to Colorado blvd in Pasadena and hang out and watch the parade.


It's the 119 showing. Flower covered floats, marching bands and equestrians. You are gonna love it. I went once, when I was dosed out of my skull and loved it!!!! The sidewalks are beyond packed and you'll be lucky if you don't slip and fall on some of the baby pee thats turned into a river cuz every mother is taking her kid into the recessed doorway for their kids to piss. Hot damn it's a good time. Where is that porto-potty anywho? alright never mind. It's worth it, but those bastard Illinois fans have probably waited up all night and slept on the sidewalk and taken all the good places. I hope they lose.



I've got tickets for the stands for $100, and now you don't want them, you tell me you'll just stand on the sidewalk. I called the guy from craigslist for nothing. I thought you said you wanted to see the rose parade. Give me back that business card and enjoy your view.


Get going early, cuz it's already full of people with sleeping bags. I think the floats roll out at 8am. Oh your gonna love it!!

Happy New Year

Get out more often.
And not to the corner liqour store.
You bastard. Enjoy some fine dining and dance punk rock.
May this year bring you all your wishes; be careful what you wish for.
This universe brings you whatever you want and everything that comes with it, so be careful what you wish for.
May all your wishes come true.
Happy 200infiniti
