    Elysée Wednesday--as you can see, last week was a hit with a great bunch in attendance. Look for us on the patio from 7:30 pm (or shortly thereafter) at Caffe Primo, 8590 Sunset Blvd West Hollywood, CA 90069. Underground parking on Alta Loma just east of the Cafe and south of Sunset.

    At the Elysée Wednesday gathering, we had an exceptional crowd including several producers--one whom I met at Cannes with a very interesting project about Brigitte Bardot, several Ferrari friends, some writers and a poet--Elena Secota--whose book is now in galley form, two designers--one from France (Djeneba Aduayom), the other from Malaysia (Poesy Liang), and a celebrated architect (Martin Marvel). I signed Todd Varble's copy of Marc Sonnery's book about the Breadvan which featured an interview about my experience with that famous Ferrari.

    Roy Martens spent the evening with us and he proposed we do a television series together that looks to be a lot of fun for both of us.

    All-in-all a great evening!

    Don't forget-Caffe Primo and Borracho Cantina (same owners) will give you parking validation that will reduce the fee.
    I will be at the Greek Theatre to see Rodrigo and Gabriela.
    Cheers.

    tonight's gathering at Cafe Primo was epic- eclectic crowd, good conversation, Philip Seymour Hoffman sitting two tables over, and not one but TWO Ferrari SuperAmerica's driving down Sunset.

    And to top it all off, a chance encounter with F1 World Champion, Lewis Hamilton! He was very gracious to stop by and chat for a minute and pose for a picture with an Fchatter.

    edit: sorry for the rotated pics; anyone know how to fix that?!?

    Champion Formula 1 driver Lewis Hamilton stopped by Elysée Wednesday last night with with Nicole Scherzinger of the *****cat Dolls. Chad Glass returned from his exhibition in Portland with stories of the impact made by his Triptych and "Papa dans le noir". Djeneba Aduayom introduced Francis Onelum to the group as well as a book of her beautiful photography. Todd Varble, Richard Mitchell and Jeanetta Dumouchel--who managed a photo of Philip Seymour Hoffman at an adjoining table--were the official photographers for the evening. Carbon McCoy spotted not one but two Ferrari Superamericas and about a half dozen Lamborghinis cruising by evidencing the fact that Caffe Primo is a far better for car-spotters than are previous venue!

    Street parking? Lies! I wonder if the designated spots for valets should be open since there are no valets on duty on the street... Anyone want to press their luck?

    I've parked on the street every week except two times since we've been at Caffe Primo--but I get there around 7:30 or so and not 8:30--9:30. :)

    I was at Caffe Primo last night.
    The patio was enclosed, so rain was not an issue. But, the heat lamps were working too well, had to go inside to keep cool.
