At the time it was " the place to be" Tom would always sit in my station only because I wouldnt bug the fuck out of him. The first encounter we had was when his entourage kept handing me his drink and telling me to bring it to him. About the third time he told me I didnt have to follow him around with his drink. I told him that his buddies had too much time on their hands and it was their fault. He said to just ignore them. I said thanks, can I buy this drink for you for setting me free ? He said sure. Can I sit at one of your tables? And he never left. Hes a pretty mellow guy. Not your typical hollywood shmuck. Jim Neighbors is a chicken hunter. Burt reynolds and Loni Anderson were sweet. Never met Jack. All this was about 25 years ago. I used to work at a place up on diamond head called the Bistro.
