There are four seasons in L.A.: Fire season, mudslide season, smog season and academy award season.
Award season is starting this week. I know this because my parking garage at work double parks cars, and if you’re in one of the “behind” spots, you have to leave your keys with the parking attendant. The attendant gives you a parking chit so you can get your keys back later. And this week, on the back side of the 2” x 4” parking chit, appeared a full color glossy ad for “Road to Perdition,” this summers moody gangster flick starring Tom Hanks.
It’s mostly out of theaters now, but it’s hardly out of the running for the Oscars! What better way to reach well-heeled L.A. Academy voters, than to give them a “For Your Consideration” ad every time they valet their car? If your valet recommends it, it must be good…
