| ...to, well you know those things that shall forever remain in LA
undisclosed and unsaid (or maybe fifty years from now when I write a book about my life)
but actually there were not many, if any, bad things that happened. I avoided South

No but really, Rodeo Drive, West Hollywood, Studio City, The Grove/Farmers Market, Beverly

did not care (I was thinking that I really just might fit in then lol just
kidding). To the contrary everyone I ran into was extremely nice, helpful and warmhearted.
At least those were my experiences (or how they came off), assuming they were |

| not helping me just to see what I would do for them in return (and I did
not do anything for any of them in return so there were no favors granted, well at least
not yet). I did run into several people in the business (SEVERAL meaning lots in fact) who
were all eager to hand me their business card, demo tape, email address, cell phone
