Where the Wild Things Are

Los Angeles, California. 
Another night, midnight looms and I have not created anything.  Ted Nash and I have just left a post-concert hang along with others (student musicians lovingly and earnestly playing jazz), so I know he's up.  I call him and ask if he wants to join me in the lobby so we can interview someone, videotape something, anything to make the creation deadline.  Ted is a natural cinematographer; we convene downstairs.  The lobby is filled with overdressed and underdressed Angelenos parading into the hotel's nightclub.  Ted and I are rejected as we're not on the list, so we sneak into a side door.  Men are dressed as animals, Paris Hilton is dressed as herself, and with a deftly positioned camera, Ted caught it all.  More decadent than the demure settings we're usually in, but interesting in small, small doses.
