Day 2 of Pollstar, the morning starts with work before we roll down to Venice Beach to visit with Francis DellaVecchia from Cultural Connections, SGA has worked with him on things like the Marijuana Policy Project. The MPP is actively working on passing legislation for medicinal marijuana. Excellent organization, you need to check them out and get on their newsletter list, http://www.mpp.org/ . We are going to be doing more for them in the future since it is a cause we believe in. The best thing about my business is we work with our friends and get to work on causes we believe in. How many people get to say that?
After a wonderful meeting with Francis we head to the Hyatt, who by the way wants $31.00 to park my truck for a few hours. They said they have the best price, yeah right, $16.00 right around the corner. Making our way to the Cyber Café we get some work done and run into Kendall and then Paiva (is Dave stalking me?). We accomplish a little bit and then head up to the noise fest. We see Stuart Ross and Chuck Randall and then I run into Pearl Aday and Scott Ian from Anthrax. Haven’t seen them since 2000. I love traveling and running into friends. Paiva gets stood up for dinner so he wants us to go out. We head out and either we went to the wrong place or I don’t know what but it was horrible Mexican food. Sat in my gut like lead and I have one of those strong Polish stomachs that can eat anything. Now, I don’t know if this is true or not but he got some suggestions on restaurants from Stuart Ross, gee thanks man. After dinner, Dave drops us off at our $16.00 parking lot and we head back to John’s house.
