The Google of Tomorrow

We're in London, continues...

Wow! Yesterday, U.K. newspaper The Independent featured John and BookMooch in an article titled, The Googles of Tomorrow. We're so excited! They used the wacky photo he made of himself with multiple arms all holding books. LOL! BookMooch is such an amazing web site, we're very exited about all the enthusiastic attention it gets.

Champagne with Kirsty and a Few Celebrities

My friend Kirsty was in London yesterday so we took the opportunity to get together. We went for lunch at the Covent Garden Hotel. We took photos and there she is looking beautiful and posing hilariously, so I decided to include them all '-)

We had pink champagne, of course, and lunch was very delicious. Kirsty noticed Jason Donovan two tables away. I'm usually clueless about famous people but Kirsty recognizes everyone. This time, I actually knew who Jason Donovan is, although not enough to recognize him. Kirsty not only recognized him, she knows him! So as he was leaving she called over to him and he came to our table to say hello and to chat a bit. He was really, really nice. Awesome.

Then she saw the singer from Spandau Ballet walk into the restaurant. She didn't know him though, so no chatting this time '-) I had to go to the ladies room and Kirsty said that he had just gone down the stairs. So as I went into the ladies room he walked out of the men's room directly across and he was singing to himself. I really wanted to say "omg, Bryan Ferry, I used to love your records!" but decided against it '-)

Kirsty and I had a lovely afternoon hanging out at the Covent Garden Hotel, it was great to spend some time in Real Life. Hugs, Kirsty! xxx

Update: here is some video Kirsty took of us having fun at the restaurant:

You 2 are too much! Fabulous lunch and Kirstys hair is gorgeous ! (your's is too!) Please run into Kate Bush or Catherine Tate next time. I was also wondering if you were going to dine at any Ramsey establishments or are you over celeb chefs?

[Jan Hanford]

Thank you, Bert!

Well, Jeremy, we do not have any Gordon Ramsay restaurants lined up this time. But we do have many, many restaurants booked for our remaining three weeks, plus some theatre and other surprises.

Yikes, if I ran into Kate Bush or Catherine Tate I would be a puddle on the floor!
