I thought I'd relate a New Years Party from the 70's - I was on the Briefing Course at the time - it was down on Temple Street, and the Paiwanski's decided to throw a New Yorker's New Years Eve Party up a their house in the Hollywood hills - I don't remember who all were there - I think the Gamberg's, Dana Smith & her husband, and some others. There was a bunch. I brought a bottle of $2 Andre Champaign which I drank most of. At one point Dana Smith's husband thought it was a good idea to throw his wife's wedding ring into the indoor swimming pool.
Not out of anger - he thought it would be fun to see who could swim down to the bottom and fetch it. I tried. I remember finding my self at the bottom of the swimming pool, not knowing how I got there, then seeing the ring and remembering why I was down there.
Afterwards, I sat down on a red bean bag chair and the next thing I knew - it was dawn.
So Pauline gave me a ride to the AO on Westlake where she was doing the Class 8 course. I some how managed to get myself over to ASHO, because I was supposed to audit my PC on Grade 3. It was very strange going up Rampart Street - nobody around on the streets - occasional abandoned wrecked cars. Like a ghost town.
I was still drunk, so I rescheduled my PC for the afternoon, went home for a nap. I woke up, was still drunk, said fuck it, and took him in session. Well, I guess I didn't kill him, the last I saw him, he was on staff at the Flag AO.
Happy New Year!
