I'm finally going to be on TV....

Granted, it's public access and only available in Santa Monica. That means I won't even be able to see it. It took over 20 years living in LA to get my moment in the spotlight!

I was meeting Gigi at a bar called Copa d'Oro. It's one of the new 'mixology' bars where the bartender crafts his own recipes out of premium liquors and fresh herbs, fruits and juices. The TV camera was there to film Vincenzo the bar master making 3 different drinks. I happened to choose a seat near the front to wait for Gigi. That just so happened to be where the drinks were to be mixed and filmed. After Vincenzo made a drink, he would offer it to one of us sitting nearby for a taste. I drank a concoction that he called a 'manly' drink, made with bourbon, bitters and Galliano. With an orange rind for garnish, it was a beautiful drink. The other concoctions were a cachaca, passion fruit and jalapeno blend, and a vodka, lemon juice and bell pepper one. Happy hour is from 6 to 8 every night.
