I realize this now as I’m in my hotel room in Berlin. I spent the day shooting a commercial for Volkswagen and I was the only one who can’t speak German. You have no idea how surreal it is to stand in a large stark white room with a lab coat on. Surrounded by Germans in lab coats and have another German wearing a black shirt and scarf give you directions in German. What the fuck have I walked into?
The funniest part is that I’m the only one they flew in from America. Why you ask? I will tell you, my superb disco dancing. This has to be the most odd experience I have ever encountered.
I’m sleepy.

Are there any cute German girls?
Remember Dan - the German you need to know is:
Ist Ihre Tochter achtzehn?
(weak top secret reference)
four years of high school german, and that is one of two phrases I remember. the other:
Ich moche Ein Bier, bitte.
What can I say but: ‘Ich bin ein Berliner’, to quote you know who….
