Okay, this is just plain stupid.

I went out drinking with some producers and the worldwide head of a major
movie company. I took my camera to sneak some shots, which I did. Later on,
on the way home, I changed rolls of film and shot some candid stuff on the
train.

When I got home I went to unload the film and found in my drunkenness I'd
actually lost the baseplate of the camera, and had been shooting without it.

Next day I wanted to shoot, so I had to drive up to Leica HQ and buy a new
baseplate. OUCH. That was an expensive night out.
