Bring out your ghosts!


Speaking (figuratively) of ghosts, I just had dinner/drinks with a ghost from my past, Trai Cartwright. (Formerly Trai Williams.) I knew she was in LA when I moved here, and it took me this long to contact her and find a time we could both hook up.

I knew she was in LA when I moved here, and it took me this long to contact her and find a time we could both hook up. (That almost completes, my list. I'll hopefully see Joey next week. That'll leave just Vera Nazarian who I'm e-mailed, we just haven't met up yet.)

It was wonderful catching up on the past. Trai is a writer who's been involved in "the biz" ever since college (NYU) where she studied film. So that makes her a decent contact. She had lots of cool stories about the last ten years or so. I hope somehow our "professional" paths cross sometime in the future. (Joey, as I mentioned earlier, is also in "the biz" so I have more than just personal reasons to want to get in touch with him again.)

And while I was at it, Bryan and I were talking about all the people we've wondered about from childhood. We were mentioning another friend Casey Opdahl--a really funny and goofy guy--wondering what was up with him. I did a quick Google search and found him quoted in an article in the Rocky Mountain News. He works at one of the best Fort Collins hotspots "Coopersmith" as a floor manager (as per the article) so I just wrote him a litter and dropped it in the mail.

It's kind of cool to be collecting old ghosts. Apropos for Halloween I'd say.
