PARTY IN THE PENTHOUSE

The Dallas Film Festival was kicking off, and there was an invite to the "Party in the Penthouse" that went around. Last minute, we decided to go. You walked into the "Red Carpet" area of this incredibly nice high rise apartment complex--The Mondrian, kind of on the corner or West Village, but across the street. Why I had never heard of this before now is beyond me. I was met by a smiling young man and a photographer who took our pictures making us feel very VIP. Then we went up. Up to the 17th floor, which does sound all that "High" but it was. The apartment of this guy was nice, but the balcony and the view, uh, dude, amazing. By some miracle, it had stopped raining and there were quite a few VIP's around, including one Hershel Walker. Met the owner, and he's a Rep for Zodiac Vodka, which rocked. They were making pear martini's and watching the sunset. This is how I want to live when I grow up! Nice way to start AFI Dallas! One last serious note: I met a very nice lady, her name: Repunzel. Yes, Repunzel showed me to the Tower! Go figure!!! The Mondrian rocks!
