It was late 2006 and I was holding court at the head of the table at the Hyde Club on Sunset Boulevard, handmaking the best margaritas on the planet when I saw her.
- Role: turning point
- In the book: In late 2006 he is holding court at the Hyde Club when he sees a woman in a turquoise silk dress and invites her and her friends to his table. At closing time her car turns out to have been towed from the gas station next door, and the night carries on at his house in the Hollywood Hills.
- Why it matters: It is where he meets the woman he marries; the book treats it as a greenlight that changes his life.
