    Get Out Of Line!

    ‘ Those of you who read my blog regularly know that there’”‘”‘s only one thing I like better than stalking and that’”‘”‘s Starbucks.  🙂  Or any kind of coffee, really.  So when Mike, from MovieShotsLA, called me up last Sunday morning and asked if I wanted to stalk a coffee shop with him, I believe…
