I just finished watching “My Date with Drew” with fellow columnist Jack LaPorte. In the course of the movie, creepy Drew Barrymore stalker Brian Herzlinger broadly breaks people into two groups: those who love “Grease 2” and those who don’t. That’s a bunch of bullshit and as a creepy stalker of cute Swedish girls, I would like to erroneously separate people into two categories in honor of my upcoming “date” with Love is All’s Josephine Olausson (that’s a lie, but they are going to be here playing at the SLO Art Center on Nov.
