Special Ed continued his LA adventure on Thursday, having lunch with the real Boss, Getbig OG Pimp, Ron Avidan. As it turns out, the best deli in Los Angeles, Brent's Deli, just happens to be a few blocks from Ron's office, so we met up for some wicked corned beef and pastrami sandwiches and talked about our plot to take over the universe. Actually, as everyone who has met him knows, Ron is truly one of the nicest guys on the planet. Heck, he even bought me lunch. We talked about all things bodybuilding and as always, Ron's brilliant combination of encyclopedic bodybuilding knowledge combined with insider information makes for an interesting time.
On Friday, Special Ed finally caught up with Getbig's own Alex23. When we spoke earlier in the week, I was surprised to hear Alex had a strong French-Canadian accent. I mean, first MADMAX DAVE and now ALEX23?? Does everyone in LA hail from Montreal and talk like Jacque Chirac? Anyway, my friend Greenie recently opened the best new (and best-reviewed) restaurant to hit LA in years called
TheFoundryonMelrose.com/ and Alex drove up from his ritzy retirement community to join me and a Hollywood pal for drinks. I had no trouble spotting him because he was twice the size of everyone else there. Seriously, guys like Alex are usually seen at Muscle Beach or Gold's and never seen anywhere else, but there he was, standing at the bar, somehow managing to entertain not one, but two Swedish (or were they Finnish) blondes like a true playa. Like a good friend, I immediately cock-blocked him by giving him the ultra-gay European multiple cheek-kissing ritual, followed by a polite grab of the balls and the girls split faster than Bethany Howlett at a 'Meet Harry Convention'.
Unfortunately, Garraeth and I were unable to meet up -- probably because he's one of the few guys in LA who actually WORKS! Anyway, just giving you guys the update on Special Ed's LA Adventure Part Deux. Not fascinating, but then again, not much is.
