disneyhall

After the comic/graphic novel thingy at moca (the Chris Ware section rocked) on Thursday, I dragged Ashley up to the park on top of the Disney Concert Hall that I heard existed and open to the public.

We found quite a sizable park, that in fact wrapped around the west and north side of the building with lawns, full grown trees, a kick ass fountain and even a 200 seat children’s amphitheater.

If you see stairs, just go up them to reach the main park with unrestricted access until at least nine pm (maybe 10 even) and its also a great place to walk around and take pictures like we did. A little more hidden is another set of stairs which leads up to the rooftop terrace over the front plaza and partially behind the metal skin of the building. You can look into one of the smaller halls and squish heads with your fingers like I was doing in this picture.

Oh there are cameras every where so you couldn’t kill anybody up there or anything like that. Guess if you were really quick, sex would be possible, but that’s kind of hot gross.

Over priced tours of the interior are available on a limited schedule.

Some daytime photos here and here of the gardens from other people.

All that stair climbing left us starving, so we finished off the night at the Denny’s on Vermont where Ashley witnessed my gorging of the 5.99 [free to me and thanks to Ashley] sausage - pepper jack cheese scrambler with three yummirrific pancakes.

My dinner left me feeling damn hot gross afterwards, kind of like sex.

    1. I thought that meal was free.

    2. Work on your links, most of them are currently bunk.

    c. Sex on top of Disney?!?!?!? Wow that adds a WHOLE new level to the previously naughty category of public sex. I think that losses gross points and gains positively evil points. Think of the children.

    Gives new meaning to the term "slipped her a Mickey."

    A couple of years ago, I had to attend a work event at Disney Hall. I ended up wandering up into the outer wall via that weird walkway. I got some great pictures.

    By the way, I didn't say hello at the Masters of American Comics exhibit because I went to the one at the Hammer and I think you went to the other one, right?

    Still, I did look for you, but I've only seen pictures of you with:
    A. Your hand covering part of your face: or
    B. You drunkenly laying on the ground.

    I don't think I'd have recognized you unless you were laying on the floor, covering your face.

    those are very good points, especially the not being in the same building.

    I forgive you.
    Unless you have a Tardis then you suck for not being in two places at same time.

    I know you know what a tardis is.

    Not being a socal native, I still find behind the scene disneyland stuff fascinating. same for hollywood and seeing movie stars. So commonplace for many here, but I still find it neat.

    yeah those were the better pictures

I had a flat this Friday, not that big of a deal normally, except I managed to snap the stem as I was removing a lug nut. Wonderful. More money that I don't have. I'm getting sick of tires, my numerous flats, gas prices, traffic. If I wasn't getting such a good price on rent I would move closer, but why pay what I'm currently paying for far less space in a worse neighborhood? Even with the gas savings I would nearly be at the same spot I am now. We'll see if Just Tires can fix my problem and/or hopefully replace it under the service plan I paid for. Good chance the obscene amount of miles I've put on my might have over shot the plan limitations, which will force me to pay out of pocket. Grr. I have 99,700 miles on my car as of last night. That means I'm doing @ 25-30,000 miles a year. Yikes! Oh I'm sick again, spending the weekend sleeping, not getting my tire fixed, and writing stuff for the other blog. Sometimes I wish no one knew about this one then

A couple weeks ago I was sitting on a hallway bench staring at the wall. Friends were on their way and the Honey Pot stopped by to chat for a few minutes wasting time until her equipment showed up. As she got up to wander around again, a boy and girl seated along the bar made introductions to her. Listening (not minding my own business) I remained seated on the bench studying a mosaic of a bullfighter in the midst of battle, sipping my Newcastle. I smiled to strangers passing through to use the bathrooms around the corner. I was bored out of my mind. I wondered if my thoughts were being read and felt that tingle of someone watching me. I rubbed the upper lip in preparation, then looked around my little area for the source of my paranoia and probably by chance the girl and I made direct eye contact. Brief awkward acknowledgments with matching half smiles faded slower than our gazes turned from each other. She reminded me of Whiskey Girl in looks and age which threw me off a bit when I

Things I learned from Alice Cooper

Image
While standing in line for Harry Potter at the Vista Theatre, Alice Cooper comes strolling up to meet his family standing right behind us. This is what I learned ok, mostly overhead: That he is working on some project that includes the likes of Ozzie Osborne and Gwen from No Doubt. "I'm in good company on this " That when he was a kid he stood in line for triple features of cheesy 1950 sci-fi horror flicks for only 35 cents. Somehow while recording that day he hit some notes that haven't been heard in years from his throat. He parked illegally in the Von's parking lot and was aware of said illegality. That the girl in front of him had really red hair, like a true natural red. Was cool enough to acknowledge fans ( @ponceman and @rainderr ) that gave hims props in passing cars. When corrected that I was actually a guy with really red hair, he acquiesced that fact but also stated that if so, I was quite effeminate. * I did learn Alice Cooper has t
