Hollywood Nights
Living in Los Angeles is not all just traffic, fake people and earthquakes, being that this is also “Hollywood” the heart of show business, you sometimes find yourself at pretty cool parties/events. Last night I was invited to a party on Paramount studios back lot (the place where they film a lot of movies) for a show called “Paramount Rocks”. It was pretty much a concert where a bunch of bands played.
The band Camp Freddy was the headlining band. Camp Freddy is not really a band, they are more like a jam session. All kinds of famous rock stars hop on stage and play. Last nights list included Dave Navarro (Janes Addiction) Billy Morrison (The Cult) Matt Sorum (Guns N Roses/Velvet Revolver) Lenny (Motorhead) Billy Duffy (The Cult) Cypress Hill and that loser Mark McGrath from Sugar Ray.
When I first heard about the show, I was told it was open bar. Well that turned out not to be true, but after my rough Friday night I think its smart to take a night off. Although they were handing out free energy drinks, which I ended up drinking too many of, so I spent the night strung out like a crack head.
I found the night to be actually pretty odd, I mean here were these famous rock stars playing to a crowd of maybe 100 people max! I guess you could call it an intimate night, but it was still strange. The music was great, but the highlight of the night for me was meeting a beautiful girl named Natalia from Italy. Her English was not the best, so it was hard to understand her with the loud rock music in my other ear. So other then totally blowing it with Natalia (picture to the right) all is well for me here in Hollywood, only 81 days until I am back in India!
