NOTES about the Ball

Budding Hollywood screenwriter Adam Libarkin has written a great script about the night Cassie took the title and is currently flogging it to Hollywood. I hope he can sell it and get it turned into a movie because I would get the movie credits for “Story By” and could pick up a nice score.

If you know anyone in Hollywood (and I don’t mean the fry cook at Fat Burger) who might be interested, please contact me and I’ll send a copy your way.

If you’re interested in attending the Blackjack Ball, forget it. It’s restricted to top pros and their guests only and wrangling an ducat to this soiree is harder than getting an invite to hang with the Pope (dead or alive). However, if you were to offer a sizable honorarium (that’s church talk for tip) to the host, he might reconsider.
