Flake Master

Filed Under: NYC, The Usual Rant, Time Wasters, friends
My MCAD buddy Brad Berling was in town these past few days, but do you think that he’d bother to tell anyone he was coming to New York, even just for work purposes?! Noooooo… but yesterday I dropped BB an email anyway to see if we could meet up and shoot the breeze, if only briefly, especially since I haven’t seen him in over two years now.
Initially Brad sounded down for the outing, and I agreed I’d wait to hear back from him later that evening with the 411 of when & where to meet up. 11pm rolls around and still no word from BB, so I text message him and he replies back saying he’s not feeling well and was calling it a night. Then, early in the morning he texts me again saying he’ll buzz me after his morning jog/run around 11am to try to meet up. Noon rolls around and no word from him still so I text BB to see what the dealio is and he sends me back a reply saying he can’t make it. I reply back with another SMS saying “have a safe flight back to L.A. you flakey bastard” and he responds with this gem of an SMS message.
Marathon?! New girlfriend??? Ooooooh, poor-baby has a life outside of work that he can’t manage. 
Of course we’re just busting each other’s chops, but seriously though, you ARE a flakey bastard Bradford. Your Wisconsin ass has been baking out in the L.A. sun way too long now. I’ll remember this next time I’m visiting Hollyweird.

I visited LA last year for the first time (after years of saying “maybe someday…”) I was there for 7 days or so and Bred Sterling just *happened* to be out of town on a “shoot” for the duration of the time I was there. Bummer we didn’t get to meet up, would’ve liked to have seen him, but the timing was bad and apparently “work” is more important than “bros”.

I met Brad maybe once or twice whilst hanging with Bill Rude, and I threw up on my fucking balls.

Wow, this is a rough crowd here!
Brad and I chatted yesterday and it’s all good now; he really was pressed for time and under the weather for the 4 days he was in town on business so I can forgive him, especially since he was proactive & sincere in his effort to apologize for the missed opportunity of meeting up. But he’s doing well and happy with both work & personal life stuff so I’m just glad all is going well for him…even if he is a flake sometimes.
