So much for being a cowboy: it's more like being a princess. Red and The Major live in an apartment block with a pool and a roof-garden, just like movie stars, right underneath the Hollywood sign. They picked me up from the airport, showed me to their hot-tub, and got me on the guest-list for an exclusive Hollywood club. Are they for real? Getting on the guest-list for an exclusive Hollywood club is one of the things I really, really wanted out of LA. It's right up there with hearing a waitress claiming that she's actually an actress, okay?
But that evening in the Mexican restaurant my jet-lag got the better of me and I fell fast asleep in my fajitas. So Red had to get me by the ankles and The Major got me by the wrists and together they managed to carry me all the way across the city and back to their apartment block, where they dragged me onto the fold-out couch. Who says walking in LA isn't possible?

Rock on cowgirl, sounds like you're doin' LA in style ;)
ReplyDeleteIs pumping "California" by Tupac while shake-it, shake-it, Mama, on your to-do list? I'm sure they all listen to Tupac in LA, after all, he penned a song about the place?
Right underneath the Hollywood sign? How cool is that? Just as long as none of those wildfires are creeping down the hill....
ReplyDeleteThis is the only travel advice you need.
ReplyDeleteWhoa, bar's been raised a little!
ReplyDeleteWelcome to Pacific time :)
ReplyDelete... I'd better hire a Limo...
ReplyDelete"a waitress claiming that she's actually an actress, okay?"
ReplyDeleteI was once that || close to getting a waitress in a diner to say "Wotcha readin' for?"
I'm about 1 hr east, we should do lunch, none of that Mexican stuff it goes right through me.
ReplyDeleteHow big does the Hollywood sign look in the flesh? A bit of a disappointment?
ReplyDeleteGlad you got through the airport safely.
EW
I've often wondered if anyone actually refers to Los Angeles as LA, like the musical note rather than the acronym. Could you find this out for me?
ReplyDeleteBatty / Brian: It's okay, I'm all for diversity. Although if either of you could get me to an Obama or a Palin rally that would make my entire trip. Uh, I mean McCain, not Palin.
ReplyDeleteKnudsen, ack, that's a shame, I just left LA, in SF now.
EW: Hollywood sign gets bigger the closer you get to it.
Curly: They call it la-la land
What!? Your in SF and you haven't called!?! Shame on you!!!
ReplyDelete... Obama's lead in Minnesota is growing, but he might show up again, Michelle was in town Monday. The Senate race is wild here- Al Franken (Stuart Smiley from SNL) versus Norm Coleman (SDS activist turned Bush toady) and that race might bring in some big names (Al Gore was here last week.) Palin's and her husband have both been here, scrounging up the redneck voters- never a dull moment in Minnesota...
ReplyDeleteHere is what I'd suggest. If you can in any way get tickets to SNL (Saturday Night Live) before the election....you wouldn't have to go to a rally. You'd get it all there with jokes n all.
ReplyDeleteYou'd be all set for life.
A rally is just a rally, racist Palin commenting on Obama's middle name *shrugs*
But SNL is the bomb....find out if you can get tickets for one of the tapings
I'd be so insanely jealous :)
Ooh, lucky you. I LOVE Mexican food, and it's surprisingly hard to find down here in Plymouth.
ReplyDeleteFajitigued? Anyone? Don't leave me hanging..
ReplyDeleteAnywhere would sunshine sounds good at the moment!
ReplyDeleteHey Ingo... we took a camper van from Redwood City and we're heading south for 5 days. Back in SF on the 20-21, I will be in touch! Text me your number. My american cell is 1-310-526-1693. My internet access is limited. xxx
ReplyDeleteThanks for the suggestions guys. Where is SNL filmed?
