06/11/09  Very fun book party last night at The Tackle Box in Georgetown for John McCaslin’s Weed Man.

From the dust jacket: “The Remarkable Journey of Jimmy Divine – is John McCaslin’s account of the unbelievable exploits of a Jimmy Moree – a law-abiding citizen turned million-dollar drug trafficker, who, amidst sometimes unbelievable, hilarious and escalating circumstances, risked life and limb to both make – and give away – a fortune.”

McCaslin signs a copy of his book.

Maybe it was the unusual venue but this was a smashing party. John has a lot of interesting people for friends and movie star Owen Wilson wandered in at one point. The appetizers were real food – generous portions of fish tacos, fried oysters and shrimp. Then there were the frozen margaritas. They hit the spot after a gruelingly hot day. The company I kept was stellar as well – the lovely Liba Z stunned onlookers. My brother Tim survived a harrowing cab ride to make the event. Kelly D. warned me about the dangers of Hot Yoga. Our friend Doug H. regaled us with his vast collection of tales from the military.

Doug and Liba

Revelry.
