‘Wish You Were Here’ Book Signing with Leslie Simon

Yesterday, BreeSays and I popped over to Book Soup on Sunset in West Hollywood for the book signing of our buddy Leslie Simon. Leslie read snippets from Wish You Were Here: An Essential Guide To Your Favorite Music Scenes—From Punk To Indie And Everything In Between while we snapped pictures and scurried to the back of the store to inhale cubes of cheese and sip on wine.

I took some video of Leslie gettin’ her read on. This first one is of her discussing the Los Angeles music scene, most specifically actors and actresses who suddenly fancy themselves musically-inclined. (You know who you are. *Ahem* Keanu Reeves.)

In the second clip, Leslie gushes about her love for the ridiculousness that is Jada Pinkett-Smith and her metal band Wicked Wisdom.

For those of you who were unable to make it and wish you would have been there (get it?), have no fear! You can still buy the book and check out these pictures of the event. I especially like the one of Leslie cooling off with her Hello Kitty personal fan.

If She Can Write a Book…

…then I don’t see why I can’t string a few sentences together, print them up on paper, bind them and sell them.

Right?

Meanwhile, I love how supremely annoyed I look in this picture. It’s not all poor little Tila Tequila‘s fault. The sun was shining in my eyes.

So, in this video, Tila can barely finish a sentence without getting distracted by what are undoubtedly pictures of herself off-camera. If she’s not drunk or high in this video, then she needs to start taking her ADD medication. Because I can’t think of any other reasonable explanation for these pointless ramblings.
