'POOCH PARTY'…A CUT ABOVE

Our dear friend, realtor Sophie Kidian with Seabreeze Estates Realty, has invited Eugenie, Tanner, and I to join her annual Pooch Party at this year's Malibu Arts Festival, Saturday and Sunday, July 25-26, from 10:00-6:00, Malibu Civic Center. We'll be signing copies of GIMME SHELTER  with $5 from each book going to Healthcare for Homeless Animals (formerly Malibu Pet Companions). The Pooch Party will offer cool drinks, hip doggie bandanas, a dip in a pool, and treats for our K-9 pals. Other guests include the “Lucky Lab”, with homemade treats and accessories for your pooch, Malibu Coast Animal Hospital  providing tips and on caring for our furry friends, and the Agoura Hills L.A. County Shelter (Tanner's onetime home) with information on how to keep our four-legged friends safe and sound. If you're in the area, please stop by and say 'Hi'. 
I LOVE A PARTY!

Not long ago Eugenie and I attended a party where we met a local cinematographer. A few weeks later we ran into him in Brentwood. He mentioned that he was getting set to direct a show on kendo, the art of Japanese swordsmanship, and asked if I might be willing to serve as his martial arts advisor and help recruit the kendoka (kenshi) for his shoot. I did, and I got to spend a fun, informative day on the set watching Sensei Cary Mizobe  of Westside Kendo Dojo and a senior student demonstrate the speed, power and grace of the centuries-old discipline. Made me want to go out and take up the sword. Almost.
