CITY OF ANGELS The V Man back in Los Angeles
April 2001
What is it about the City of Angels that just makes me come back year after year after year? Is it the sights? The weather? The beautiful Women? I think all that and more!
Here it is, less than a year since my last L.A. adventure, and I'm back again, back to the city of palm trees, movie stars, smog filled skies and congested freeways.
I basically hung out at the usual places I hang out in in L.A.: Little Tokyo, Hollywood, Santa Monica, and of course Orange County. Even got to do a little surfing at Huntington Beach. ALthough the drive down the 405 or 5 from L.A. county to Orange county could be more enjoyable if there wasn't so much trafic.
Of course a trip to Hollywood wouldn't be complete without any star sightings, and I saw a few. Nobody really huge like Brad Pitt or Charlize Theron, but they were stars nontheless.
I saw Director John Landis at the El Capitan Theater on Hollywood boulevard; Lori Loughlin from Full House shopping at Fashion Island in Newport Beach; Herbert Jefferson Jr. (Lt. Boomer from Battlestar Galactica) at a comic book and sci-fi convention at the Shrine Auditorium; and Charlie Sheen and Jay Leno at a Tonight Show taping in Burbank. But unfortunately, I was not able to snap any photos of them.
Here are a few photos that were taken during my enjoyable two weeks in Los Angeles. Simply click on them to make them bigger:
