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.
