Sol and Joe saw it in the papers. A celebritory event being held for Robert Goldstein, the write who they helped in their writing group. His memoir, Big Tony and Me, was selling millions. The two men felt they should attend and congratulate him.
When they got there, they found a security guard at the restaurant would not let them into the VIP section, which was roped off. All sorts of celebrities paraded past them. They tried to get his attention, but he was busy being hugged by Charlize Theron.
At one point, Goldstein had to use the facilities. As he approached the rope, Sol and Joe greeted him warmly. He squinted and shook his head. Never saw these guys in my life, he lied to the security person. He then brushed past them.
Sol and Joe were asked to leave, which they did. They walked away, mumbling curses. We were there at the beginning, Sol said. Joe sighed and nodded. At least we got to smell Charlize.
