I ran into Martini (yes that's his name) at the Venice hangout "the otherroom" after the LA Weekly art show and party. Martini has written a book called "The Aussie Guide To Dating," which instructs non-Australians in the down under ways of getting it on. When I asked him for some pointers, he told me to buy the book. "Come on, I pleaded. Just one tip." Martini paused and said, "Think like a shark, go on your instinct, and be out for the kill. It's all in the attitude." Then as I was walking away he said, "oh and Koala's can have clymidia." I was sure I heard wrong. "I beg your pardon?" I asked. "It's true, " says Martini. "Koala's are the only animals that can carry an STD." I don't even want to know how THAT happened, but it does make me pretty skeptical about listening to an Aussie for dating advice...

Well, I met Mr Martini last night at a National Art Grad Show in Sydney. As I was waiting in the souvlaki line he came up behind me and asked if I was waiting in line and then introduced himself and told me about the book he is writing and asked me about my dating experiences etc.We had to wait in line for about 10 minutes,as the greek lady with the ciggie hanging out of her mouth told us.So we were talking for ages and ate our semi raw chicken souvlakis on a little bench seat, hew took a photo of me then we went out separate ways.
Then I was at a bar, the same night, and who do I bump into again, the ever-charismatic Martini.
So that's my story and I must admit he was taking on the shark persona but it was totally working.
