One of my faves, not the least reason being that it 
was filmed in Santa Fe while I lived there. I actually
stumbled onto the set one day as they were shooting,
naturally never having heard of a film with the name
on the clapboards, "The Tao of Steve." I was the fly
to its spider; I hung around for hours, watching the
movie-making process, enjoying the rare behind-the-
scenes glimpse into my favorite artform. After a while,
I wandered over to the stoop of the back door of the
restaurant around which they were shooting, and stood
there just taking in the whole scene. A young woman
wandered over and sat down on the stoop next to me.

I was in love. 

I couldn't take my eyes off of her. I stammered out
something senseless and, rather than blowing me off
as the obvious asshole I was, she smiled and talked
with me for a while. It was Einstein's eternity as
a few moments talking to a beautiful woman, as 
opposed to his sitting-on-a-hot-stove eternity. It
was to die for. And then they called for her, and
she smiled and said goodbye to me, and went over to
play Steve's love interest. 

I also knew the author of the screenplay. He was one
of my cafe buddies in Santa Fe.

Gotta go...dinner guests arriving...
