Pepperdine’s annual memorial to 9/11 is up all this week : the Wave of Flags
We went saw the exhibit 2 years ago, and then again this past weekend (the last time we came was a sunny noon visit, this time was morning and foggy)
Ok, not *technically* the Beatles ….
Although, they DID perform at the Hollywood Bowl (waaay back in 1964-5 I think) …. And recorded an album (The Beatles at the Hollywood Bowl)
(video below … blame the poor sound quality on the legions of crazy fans)
Last Saturday, we ALSO saw the Beatles at [...]
It’s no big secret that I love musicals.
With all my heart.
Last year I got to go to 2 (TWO) musicals at Pantages — because Julie wanted to go and needed a date, I guess
Then, for Christmas she gave me a gift certificate for the Pantages.
And I hyperventilated a little [...]
Another in the series of Top 5 Favorites.
We really like where we live and all the food options around us …. I figured I should narrow it down somehow, so for now just the top 5 favorite restaurants ON Ventura Blvd NEAR us …. Otherwise this list could go on forever….
P.S. When [...]
I lived in Santa Clarita for something like 16 or 17 years and I never ever went to the Santa Clarita Cowboy Festival (formerly the ‘Cowboy Poetry Festival’) …. but as soon as we move to Encino, there we were. back in SCV!
Every April for a full weekend the city of Santa Clarita [...]
Sunday we went to the Grammy Museum in Los Angeles …. Wow. Seriously. We planned on around an hour or so to see the Elvis at 21 photography exhibit (there til March 28), but we could have easily spent all day at the museum.
Why didn’t anyone tell me!!?
Did you know that the Los Angeles Times hosts a Travel show every year?
I didn’t …. until this year.
It was incredibly crowded and busy, and full of people trying to sell you things. But SO INTERESTING.
There was snorkeling and lassoing and surf lessons and golfing. There was an old greek man [...]

I’m not sure I believe it.
Right now it consists of a parking lot ($5 for parking??? give me a break), a house, a boarded up school and a couple barns.
Not too sure where the town would have been …..

Our friend Michael came out to L.A. from Phoenix over Halloween weekend. His girlfriend was working out of L.A. for a couple weeks, so he came to visit her and we roped him into visiting us.
Saturday we did breakfast at Cici’s … then back together for [...]
At the end of August, we visited the Silent Movie Theatre in Hollywood, run by The Cinefamily.
This place is great! One more reason we love living in Los Angeles – We drove there via Sunset Blvd, through the hills and the gorgeous neighborhoods and big trees that make up Bel Air and Beverly [...]
I’m pretty not great at blogging. I just feel rushed or that what I want to say never comes out as genuine as I want it to sound. I’m drinking Hennessy right now to make me care a little bit less about my digital voice (actually Amy just called so I’m on the phone [...]
Omigod, omigod you guys!
