... and the lights of LA County

Field Trip and Friends
... and very little sleep.

Traveled to Los Angeles via the Burbank airport. Love the Burbank airport, named after Bob Hope. Its like going back in time - they roll up stairs to the door and the luggage claim is outside under a covered port. Got off the plane to sweltering heat - I think it got close to 100 degrees F! Quick trip to Tar-shay for a cheapo t-shirt and capri pants - walked out wearing them. Great food, great company. LA is so beautiful - flowers, citrus trees, palms, and beautiful sunsets. Working in the LA office is so great mainly because the staff is so fun - Oaxacan food, Korean BBQ, D'Asses cookies. Thursday afternoon was field trip time - touring the Port of Los Angeles. Evenings included looking down on LA from Mulholland Dr. (could't find David Lynch's place) and watching the sunset from Santa Monica beach. Watched a cut of my freinds film - looking good as a sort of Big Fish meets Twilight Zone magicial land. Didn't get much sleep but it was sooo worth it. Took the red-eye home and unfortunately was squished between Gucci-bag gal (she actually put her purse in a protective cover on the flight!) and snoring, older pervy man. He kept moving his elbow into my seat space so it was impossible to get comfy - should have left my smelly Korean BBQ clothes on to help set up a odor protective barrier. Damn, where's a good stink when ya need one.
