Operation Barborossa: Post-Op Report (3 of 4)
June 12, 2010
Day Three:
8:15 AM
Woke up early and we’re ready to tackle Hollywood.
9:00 AM
We send out an email to up-and-coming Hollywood player, Forrest Rubin. We’re making moves.
11:30 AM
We leave the room.
12:00 PM
Met with an old friend of Hesh’s, his wife and their daughter who is 15 months. We watch the World Cup at Islands in Sherman Oaks. The game wasn’t as boring as we thought, but what’s with all the running?
2:30 PM
Returned back to our Headquarters, the El Patio Inn. Hesh lays down. A. Dukes works on Sin City Trifecta, because he never believes in taking a day off.
5:15 PM
Hesh awakes (he swears he only slept for 20 minutes).
6:00 PM
To Dodger Stadium
6:30 PM

7:00 PM
Hesh is heard saying,
Being unemployed, I thought it was a great time to spend $40 on a ticket, $6.50 on a Dodger dog and $5 for a soda.

7:30 PM
A. Dukes shares his affinity for eating peanut shells. Coincidentally, he got sick from eating peanut shells.

8:30 PM
Thanks to the nose bleed seats we got to enjoy all the cultural diversity a Dodger’s game and this fine city has to offer. We witnessed many arguments over the colors red or blue and LA or Anaheim. Quite comical.
9:45 PM
Back to the El Patio Inn.
10:30 PM
Re-group and head out for a night on the town, Studio City style!
10:45 PM

The Fox & Hounds Pub is jumping and Hesh is in Heaven; Cougars on the prowl and Rockabilly on the speakers.
11:00 PM
The rest of the trio is bored…we retreat back to the El Patio Inn.
Still no meeting to sell On Maggie.
Mood: Grim
True observations from the DMV
I show up at the DMV at 12 and cannot find parking; probably because the facility handles over a thousand people per day and has about a hundred parking spots…great job guys.
Once past the brother in a wife beater standing outside smoking a menthol,
I find myself in line for an hour sandwiched between Javier the tatted, 4 foot gang banger and Wilbur the 40 year old redneck who was bragging about the killer deal he got on a 97 Chrysler (that was only the line for information).
After saying good bye to Javier and Wilbur, I was directed to the Photo line where I spent another hour listening to a lovely conversation about Obama’s handling of BP.
Go figure; astute political commentary from guys missing most of their teeth.
After getting my picture taken, I got to sit down for another hour to pay for my license renewal. That third and final hour was great because I got to see diversity at work; a white girl bond with a couple of black girls over Chelsea Handler. I believe the term “She so crazy” was dropped a few times.
So three hours and $50 later I stumbled out of the DMV…a wealthier man for the experience.
