“In the next few entries, I will explain a little bit about Hollywood for those curious about how things work there:
Whenever you are in Los Angeles, as I was for the last week, you have meetings. That’s what people do. They have meetings. All day, every day: breakfast meetings, morning meetings, lunch meetings, after-lunch meetings, dinner meetings, followed by more meetings over after-dinner drinks. I meet you. You meet me. We meet. We might even arrange to meet again.

Everybody’s hope is that these whirring, airy meetings will somehow magically spin all those sugary words into delicious Hollywood cotton candy.”
