| ...them a call if I ever needed someone offering their product or service
(I mean do I look like a producer/reporter or something – I was just out in LA trying
to be a fly on the wall). These people were working me as hard as I was working them. I
saw networking at its best. I have never ever seen so many people working network
connections in such an open, strategic and demanding way, but I guess that’s just how
they do it out in the Land of Make Believe. You just never know who you are talking to. |

One lady even worked me to the point where I was getting on the freeway on my way to Rodeo
Drive after leaving some great West Hollywood fun (WEHO as it’s called by the
locals). She pulled alongside of my car as I was entering the onramp and asked me to look

She then told me that she worked for a very famous, VERY famous recording artist (whom I
will not dare name here out of respect for how they do it out in LA – mentioning
names in such a public way is an absolute no no). She told me that she was a makeup artist
and told me if I ever was in need of a makeup artist to give her a call. She then gave me
a hug and sent me on my way. I tell you these Californians were incredibly nice. |

was one of the first stops during my trip mainly because I saw a sign off the freeway
directing me to go there. If I am not mistaken I think I was on either Sunset Boulevard or
Hollywood Boulevard. Please do not hold me to it however, because the streets started to
run together after a certain point during my five-day six-night excursion (or maybe it was
a six-day five-night trip, I really can’t ... |
