Yesterday morning I was off to see Demetri Martin at a book signing in West Hollywood. I was getting the book signed for my boyfriend, although I kinda like Demetri Martin too.
On the way there, we were sitting at a bus stop on Sunset Blvd. One of those tour buses that always drive around LA started honking and people were waving across the street. I couldn’t see anything. Susie to the rescue (as ALWAYS). “Is that Steven Tyler?”, she asked. Yup. It was. Here’s a blurry picture. Unfortunately there were a ton of cars, he was far away, and our bus was pulling up but I managed to snap this shot..
Next up, Demetri Martin. He did a book signing and presented his new book called “Point Your Face At This: Drawings by Demetri Martin”. He was really nice and answered questions, signed books and then took pictures. Really laid back and awesome guy.
After Demetri Martin, I wanted to go to a charity auction at Amoeba Records. I’d only been to Amoeba once before and it was awesome! Plus it’s close to the redline and we needed to go there anyway. Before the auction started I ended up buying Season 1 of Ugly Betty on DVD for $5 (awesome). I didn’t end up getting anything at the auction but I definitely want to go back next month. Which celebrity did I see here, you ask? Dave Ross. I actually don’t know who he is and he may not even be famous. This photo isn’t great, but at least you can see him.
Lastly was Jason Mraz, who I unfortunately don’t have a photo of. I won free tickets to see Justin Willman (we can count him as a celebrity too if you want, but he sucked). Towards the end of the show Justin pulled Jason on stage. Apparently they know each other and toured together. Jason took photos after the show with a bunch of people but he didn’t seem too happy about it.
Overall it was a very long but successful day.
