If you’re visiting L.A. you have to hit up The Getty Center, a big time museum that has its own hillside with a sprawling, scenic campus and various buildings that house exhibitions on each floor. It’s huge. And free, so go.
So this is funny.. we went to The Polo Lounge which is inside the Beverly Hills Hotel after The Getty and as we were just getting ready to split Mrs. Dr. Phil herself, Robin McGraw sat right by us.
First, a quick story. About 5 years ago in Vegas, Carrot Top wandered past us in a bar with his cool-guy entourage and we all freaked out a little bit. It’s not that we’re just a bunch of ravenous Carrot Top fans whose dreams were coming true, it’s just weird when famous (or even semi-famous) people are breathing your same air. Once again, you’d think Robin was Tom Cruise the way I reacted. This flush of red hot excitement came over me and I *had* to get a pic. I couldn’t bear the shame of snapping an obvious pic so I did my signature move: pretending to talk on the phone and/or check my voice mail while secretly taking a picture. Here’s how it works – I set up my phone to where it’s on camera mode and hold it to my ear that’s facing her while I make listening faces and snap away until I feel I’ve gotten something viable. The outtakes consist of; blur, Mike’s head, the wait staff, and more blur. This was the money shot. Enjoy.
We’re down to our last week here in Cali, so I’m heading out to explore.
