You’d think that two big celebrities meeting in the parking lot with their high-end cars would be a draw. If they had made an arrangement with the owners, there might not have been a problem.
Agreed they should’ve made arrangements with the owner. At the same time there is plenty of public parking between Malibu and Zuma. $8 on the week day, $20 on the weekend. These two can afford to buy a couple of spots each (to ensure they don’t get the doors dinged).
I think the problem may have been that the limited number of parking places were being taken over by non-customers. We used eat in an out-of-the-way place (since out of business) where some small fry local celebrities (Tom Silva, from This Old House, former Patriot Fred Smerlas, ...) would eat on the same nights and times we did. If it had been Doug Flutie, or Donnie Wahlberg the place probably would have been mobbed with gawkers.
