So i didn't drive as much as i though i would, but very close. We decided yesterday to stay out on that side of town after lunch. EVERYBODY met at Gladstone's in Malibu and ate there. Service sucked. What more can i say? So then we went back to Culver City to visit the Sony Lot (not really, just pick up Will's car). Then off to Starbucks for our Cafe Late Enima, then off to Jon's beach house. So we sat around for a few hours and just screwed around. Then BACK to hollywood. Now this is where things get fun. I know how to get from Manhattan Beach to Hollywood without using the freeway. It's not a big deal, but you don't want to go near the 405 freeway at around 5 PM on a friday. I don't know how everybody else got there, but all i can say is that WE all know the good routes. Will beat us all and made it in about 35 to 40 minutes. According to the timestamp on my parking stub at the time of entry into Hollywood and Highland i was exactly 8 minutes behind Will and then Jon was about 5 minutes behind me. Jen was fuckin COLD cause we thought that at some point we were going to go home and get something else to wear. So Jen got a nice new sweater from Banana Repulic. Off to the movie.

GO SEE IT NOW!!;

This is HANDS DOWN the BEST MOVIE i have seen ALL YEAR. This is the only thing SPECIFIC about the movie. We saw it at the Chinese Theater and it was digitally projected. There was a single frame that had a "glitch" in it. Will works doing QC on DVD's and I do a shitload of compression for web media, and Jon does digital video and press kits. ALL OF US NOTICED. But after the movie we asked everybody else that was there, "did you see that half screen of green digital static?"... nobody else every noticed. It's fuckin scary that people can look at a 70 foot wide screen filed with STATIC and not see it. Well i guess it's just like the single frames of Mr. Durden. anyway.... back to the point. GO SEE THIS MOVIE NOW!

Oh, you thought the night was over?

After the movie we had to frequent the best fast food establishment on the west coast. Johnette (will's sister) was here for one night and when in Texas she cannot partake of the fine "double double". So off to the hollywood In-N-Out for dinner. Fuck taking the cars out of the parking at hollywood and highland, we'll just walk. Well after dinner we found ourselves stuck with $10 to $15 of parking fees. FUCK THAT. Anyway, not going to go home yet. It's about 10:30 now after dinner and we are now off to Finn McCool's for the Hermits MANDATORY meeting. Best fuckin time i've had in a long time. I just needed to get out of the house. And i think the few spins around the parking lot on Brian and Wendy's vespa did a lot for me too. (i need to get one) So brian introdudced me to the "snake bite" and after a couple of them i was very very very happy. Everybody showed up and we all hung til almost 2. Gotta do that again next week, well at least if i don't have a BBQ. So finally we get in the car to drive home and thank god we waited so long, cause there is no traffic at all. Well that's the funny thing, i was worried about traffic at 2 AM. Sometimes they start workin on freeways in the middle of the night and they block off all but one lane, and then you have the same problem as rush hour. Anyway, got home and then FUCK.... Jen has gotten a letter from the School District she works in saying that they are look for 1st grade volenteer teachers to move to another school in the district. If they don't get anyone, they will select one and move them. Check the answering machine and Kate is on it saying ," Jen did you get a letter from the district?". Ok, so Jen freaks out. This is only the 2nd time in 2 weeks that she's had to deal with the possibility of losing her classroom. So, off to bed... Jen can't sleep cause of the letter (and signs) and she wakes me up at 3 AM to tell me there is something outside. Well, there is ALWAYS something outside. This time it was two drunk bums walking in the Metro Tracks area behind our house. They had stopped for some reason and were arguing about shoes. So needless to say it was not some supernatural being, ET, the easter bunny, or a raccoon, posum or rat. So we've got a set of sprinklers that point down the slope behind the house. They don't shoot very far, but the bums don't know that and will move along very quickly if they think they are going to get wet. back to bed...

Dude, you need to put the link to the comments at the bottom of your entries. Who wants to scroll all the way back up when you make a long ass entry like that? lol. Anyway, you shoulda taken the 405 yesterday, its the 405 South that sucks on a Friday, but North is ok. I took it to Venice, then took that to La Cienega and etc, etc... up to Hollywood and Highland. Also, we got that whole $10 for parking business, but we showed them our movie tickets and he bumped back down to $2. Just FYI ;-)
