I was in LA recently and had time to have dinner with some classmates. Ethan Goldstine and Gideon Brower joined me for dinner the first night in town. Ethan runs a website design firm for non-profits and Gideon is a screenwriter and both of them live in LA. We had a really a great time catching up.
My second night in town, I had dinner at the home of classmate Hanna Weg, with her family. Hanna is a screenwriter who has a movie in production called The Beautiful and the Damned, which is essentially a history of our class. Well, actually, that's not it at all. It is a period love story based on the relationship of writers F. Scott Fitzgerald and Zelda Sayre. The film revolves around the Jazz Age icons Fitzgerald, famed for writing "The Great Gatsby," and Zayre known for living large, soaring high and crashing hard. Although they were both the toast of the town during the roaring '20s, their courtship and marriage was festooned with jealousy and acrimony with both parties using the relationship as the basis for their various novels.
I had such a good time in LA, that I am going back at the end of April -- and we're having a Class Dinner. For everyone in LA, please save the date: April 28. More details soon!
