KOI

last night I went to dinner with my girlfriends, kristin and bernadette to KOI, this sushi hot spot in LA. It's been open for a number of years but I've never been. It has the same chef as Katsuya in Studio City which is my fave sushi place. anyway, regardless of the snooty factor, I really liked the ambience. When i walked up to the place a number of paparazzi were poised outside with their cameras. a lot of celebrities go to KOI, so i was excited to see who was inside, but when I walked around I didin't see anyone famous. B and K and I waited for our table on the outside patio and I had a clear shot of the cameramen hoping to catch someone famous. this happens a lot, when you drive past restaurants in LA, you can tell if a celeb is inside if there are paprazzi waiting outside. anyway, no one famous came in or out until suddenly, flashbulbs start going off in my face and I'm all excited and in walks... WILL SMITH...'S COUSIN from the fresh prince of bel air. I was bumming. after dinner, which rocked, I was waiting outside for the car when I see my friend will, who's a cast member on saturday night live, walking up the street. he was on his way to meet his friend and we all joined them for about an hour and just hung out. Will is the nicest person in the history of the world!!
