ralphwiggum 6 Posted June 14, 2004 Back on topic. Today, Hollywood Bowl reopened with slight acoustic improvement and  larger area for performers. Usually, cameras are not allowed inside, but today was open house so took advantage of situation. First, if you go there, get ready for some mountain climbing. especially if you are overweight like me. Second, if you park outside and have to use underway to enter, beware of urine smell. *If you can't see pics, sorry for that, but my host sucks. Entrance: http://users.domaindlx.com/RalphWiggum/image/hbowl1.jpg View from middle section: http://users.domaindlx.com/RalphWiggum/image/hbowl2.jpg Wider view. You can see Hollywood sign on distant hill. http://users.domaindlx.com/RalphWiggum/image/hbowl3.jpg A giant cross and Griffith observatory(on the right handside, far away). Who says Hollywood is anti-christian?  The observatory is closed now for renovation, set to open sometime next year. They added golden roof and changed buildgin color. http://users.domaindlx.com/RalphWiggum/image/hbowl4.jpg A couple having good time. http://users.domaindlx.com/RalphWiggum/image/hbowl5.jpg A vietcong tunnel?

The spacedome-like figure in the center is actually a Holiday Inn building. Several years ago, some Jewish mob was found dead nearby. http://users.domaindlx.com/RalphWiggum/image/la_405n_2.jpg An accident waiting to happen(3 blondes ) http://users.domaindlx.com/RalphWiggum/image/la_405n_4.JPG Bunch of costume wearing freaks near Mann's Chinese  theater.

There was a blonde wearing "Blondes do it better" and she almost tripped on side walk. http://users.domaindlx.com/RalphWiggum/image/la_costume.jpg Scene of LA down town from westbound I-10(80 mph) http://users.domaindlx.com/RalphWiggum/image/la_dwntwn1.jpg LA skyline on eastbound I-10(65mph) http://users.domaindlx.com/RalphWiggum/image/la_dwntwn2.jpg El Capitan theater across Mann's Chinese Theater.

blackdog~ 0 Posted June 14, 2004 More from my day on the road....[/url] Hey Ralphie, Was driving through LA today, on the EXACT same roads you were! What a coincidence! Maybe I gave you the finger like I did for most other LA drivers ! Was on my way to the Glendale swap meet for M151 parts! It sucked! About 16 people there and an M38A1! So I left! And then I called a guy in Long Beach who had a jeep for sale! But he was tired and jetlagged after getting back from D-Day reenactments! So my trip through LA sucked! Then when we tried to skip through Camp Pendleton to get to the rear Fallbrook gate, they wouldn't let us through - which sucked! So then we went the long way around and stopped by the body shop to see how my jeep was doing, and the guy wasn't there, which sucked! Then we went to Fallbrook and the guy with a pile of jeep parts and an M151 has yet to get the thing running, which sucked! Then we stopped by a convenient store to get some soda and twinkies, but they didn't have any twinkies, which sucked! So then we went home and I had to reorganize my whole office workspace because it was just painted, which sucked! So now I'm sitting here with a computer monitor on my chair divided from the case by a shelf that the monitor won't sit on, which sucks! Today sucked! That's all I've got to say. No photos, because it sucked. Oh, but I did take a picture of a dead guy by the side of the freeway but I doubt it would create a very nice feeling towards me if I posted it. Enough of that BS, here's a picture of my wall. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
