Sunday was a blur. We want to thank the many people who came out to our two appearances with Paulette Cooper in support of our book ‘The Unbreakable Miss Lovely,’ at CFI-West’s Steve Allen Theater on Hollywood Boulevard in the morning and at CFI Orange County’s venue in Costa Mesa in the afternoon.

In LA, our old friend James Underdown really set us up with an electrifying introduction, and we had to admit to the crowd that our body thetans were tingling as we took the stage.

The Steve Allen theater has seats for 150 people, but paid attendance, Jim told us, was 175, plus there were some additional folks bringing the place near 200. And it wasn’t just standing-room only, it was an eager crowd who ate up Paulette’s anecdotes and even laughed at our jokes. We got smart questions from the audience, and a couple of questioners challenged us about the efficacy of Scientology, which really made things fun.

It was a pleasure to see so many familiar faces. Paulette and your proprietor were both extremely happy to see attorney Graham Berry…

Mark Ebner, of course, had us in stitches.

And one of your proprietor’s highlights was getting to wrap a big bear hug on Derek Bloch. Yes, we finally got to meet the young man, who has now moved back to LA after his adventures in Texas.

In OC, Paulette was asked to sign a Guy Fawkes mask that had other fascinating signatures on it. We thought this turned out to be a pretty interesting image.







We get a chance to regroup a bit today. We’re looking forward to seeing video of last night’s show, and we’ll post it when we can find it.
