WEDNESDAY 19th NOVEMBER

LET'S MEET UP

So again, I realise how I am getting used to New York ways of life. Am still back in London and I try to see as many people as possible whilst I'm here. Of course everyone works so I stack them up on the evening.

On Wednesday I try to see Tammy (script development friend) about my Ralph Two Bellies script at 6.15 at Nordic in Noho; Alex, Snell and my Bro at 7.30 at Ye Grapes in Mayfair, and then Davo and others for wine tasting at AKA in Covent Garden at 8.30pm.

Yeah - you can see it coming, can't you. It's bascially shows how alcohol related socialising is in the UK. My 6.15 with Tammy lasted 2 hours and three glasses of wine. The taxi takes 30 minutes to go a mile... Snell has been sitting at a bar in Ye Grapes by himself for an hour. My brother has been sitting by himself in Ye Grapes for an hour. I turn up - have to apply Stella to cheer them up and introduce each other. Alex turns up at 9 - and so it's rude not to hang around and catch up. I call and I'm telling Davo I'll be there at 9.30. 10 comes around and Davo is phoning me and having a go at me about not being at AKA and that it's rude me not being there . I'm, like, ('like'!- see I told you I'm getting New York) I'm getting in a taxi now - and Davo tells me he and his girlfriend are too drunk. I catch myself replying 'well in New York - people don't get pissed and 10 is a reasonable time to meet people'. It's as if I've lived here for 5 years.
