Peter Fonda @ McDonald's
Went to this catered party with Peter Fonda (of 1969's iconic film 'Easy Rider') at Marianne (heir to the Zenith throne) McDonald's house out in Del Mar. Some highlights.
1. $250,000 Concert Grand Steinway & Sons
2. A band called Dick Jelly (who I would link to, but their website is impossible to find) whose Lead Singer was a 4 foot-something Asian chick with enormous/perky breasts, and whose guitarist looked like Dana Carvey, rocking out the most wicked version of "Born to Be Wild" while Peter Fonda stood in front with the "ROCK" sign held high above his head.
3. Walls, of what can only be described as the "Children's Wing" of the house, covered from floor to ceiling with chalk boards and hundreds of chalk drawings.
4. A library more extensive than your local public, all labeled.
5. Tropical Fish
6. Two, count 'em two, Harps.
7. 1950s Hammond Organ with Leslie set-ups covered in dust and unplayed.
8. 14 foot ceilings everywhere.
9. The most elaborate, ornate music box I have ever seen lit by a single beam of light from the sky.
10. Big plastic garbage cans full of ice, perrier, and champagne like it was soda.
11. A heated Olympic sized pool, complete with slide.
12. Eight car garage.
13. Undergrad chicks looking to tap the 64 year old, married, Peter Fonda.
They're throwing another in the Spring. I'll bring my camera next time.
