Last Trip to Hollywood for a bit

Hopefully...

I went a couple of weeks ago. The whole trip was planned to a 'T' a few days before hand. I hate going down there without a plan because I usually spend more time than I want to walking around. I'm trying to learn how to be lazy while I'm out. Its not easy when you like looking at stuff. Like the last few times I parked at the Metro Green Line Station which always works out to my advantage.

My itinerary for the day was:
The Wiltern
Pantages
Hollywood Palladium
Las Angeles Theater
Angels Flight
Tower Theater
and the Mayan

My favorite spot of this trip was most definately Angels Flight. I had heard about it several years ago when it reopened but forgot about it until I had seen an advertisement for it on the subway. It's the shortest railway in America and its priced expensively at 50 cents. I wish it were longer than 2 minutes cause I had a blast. heir

I also had a tiny excursion to the Renaissance Pleasure Faire at the Santa Fe Dam in Irwindale. Tis an adventure all must attempt before thy return to the pit of despair, aka Monday morning. I caught the end of The Merry Wives of Windsor who are funny as hell.

Now on with this weeks set of shots.










Give me shout out on what you think.

Working our way up from the bottom.
Mamma Mia! has a post card feel.
Lining the building up with the squares is reminiscent of Connect Four (played it but never had it)
Lower left fellow is the main focus on this one (for me anyway)
Big and small (took a little while to notice the small, maybe because of the lady in the middle).
Laundry stage... interesting.
For some reason, my favorite (The Mayan, right? you've kind of brought it to life).
Tower... good post card (but I'm not so interested).
Surreal toy trolley.
Looking up at the angels (like).

Personally, am not a big fan of reenactment festival. Just me. Totally like buildings though.
Yeah, the renaissance faire wasn't as spectacular this time as it was the first time I went. Just a bunch of goofs dressed up. Buildings on the other hand tend to pose just for me whenever I take a picture of them. Its almost like they are doing it on purpose.

Thanks for the comment, Will. much appreciated :-)
Angels Flight is added to my list of things to do when I head down south again. I will be down in Redondo for a wedding in October I might have to go explore before hand.

Angels Flight was a real trip. If I had 15 bucks that day I would have spent it all riding it. Thankfully I didn't because the rain started right after I got off. Public Transportation + Rain = No Bueno btw.
