Far-L

The "Orgazmo" premiere party was held at the Playboy Mansion. Heavy metal legends Metallica played for about a hundred people. I was busy trying to convince any woman that would pay attention to me to consider some sex in the grotto. It wasn't going too well but that is another story that actually has a happy ending.

You all know how that goes anyway so who cares right?

So I am just walking around freaking on my good fortune for being there and I see Hef. Knowing how successful the cable show "Playboy's Naughty Home Videos" was, and how it premiered with then featured primarily our content at the time, I figured I could go and introduce myself. After all, Homegrown was making a difference on a bottom line that needed help to keep Hef in the Mansion.

As I approached I realized he was standing there with Robert Duvall.

I apologized for interrupting (even though they weren't actually talking) and introduced myself and explained how I had worked with Playboy for years. Bear in mind that not only was the show their most profitable, but the site we did for it was also their best performing partner site.

I held out my hand to shake Hef's as I was thanking him profusely for the biz over the years.

Hang time.

Still hanging.

I was still hanging when I noticed Duvall was giving me the crazy eye like I just refused to surf under heavy enemy fire.

I finally dropped my hand. Thanked Hef again and walked back into the fray. Found out later that Hef hated the show and thought it was bad for the brand.

My bad. At least I didn't spike the punch with LSD
