Inauguration Part 2

January 20th, 2009:

Midnight:

Jeff - "Dio! Dio! get out of the bathroom, we're going upstairs."
'Dio' - "Just one second, these American Bathrooms confuse me!"
Jeff - "Understandable, you see, you just drop your trousers and let fly, the rest will work itself out. Oh make sure you open the lid first!"
'Dio' - "It's too late!"
'DIO'
Dio emerges from the bathroom into a barrage of white-skinned Washingtonians. He goes over to Jeff, who is still talking to one of the white guys, a larger one with a sizeable beard like a leprechaun. The large leprechaun is nodding his head intently as Jeff speaks to him, but through the mingling conversations of this bar on U St. on the night before Inauguration, only choice words can be heard.

...celebrity...Bollywood.....India....first time....America....Slumdog Millionaire... celebrity....Dio Gupta.... yes for real.....not kidding.

The large leprechaun turns his gaze toward Dio, cocks his head slightly puzzled. Jeff grabs Dio by the arm and crosses through a crowd away from the bathroom.
"Nice talking to you, have fun in America!" the large leprechaun yells to us as we exit the scene.

MIKE aka "Stanley - the stylist"

MAX aka "Lars - the best friend bodyguard"

JEFF aka "the manager"

At the opposite end of the bar our friends Max aka "Lars", and Mike aka "Stanley" have scoped out a place relatively close to the bartender. Lars was supposed to be Dio Gupta's best friend / body guard, from Bulgaria, and speak with an accent. Stanley was Dio's stylist and overall image consultant, who is always at odds with Jeff, who is Dio's strung out manager and acting coach.
