So the LA slash 9yearsinthemaking roadtrip was F-U-N.
We stayed at the Royal Pagoda Motel in chinatown in LA and I loved it. It was right in the heart of Chinatown and they let us check in super early which always wins points with me. We decided to eat at the 101cafe after we had checked in and showered and dolled up. The cafe overall was a let down. They screwed up my grilled cheese and we got a lot of dirty looks from all the hipsters and punk rock kids. Walking around Hollywood was fun like always. We browsed the used and new dvds, cds and records at Amoebia and fell in love with the Hollywood Tour apartments.
The show was...amazing. It was nothing like I had expected but still so perfect. We stood in line for 3 hours and then they played for 3 hours (okay like 2 and 1/2 hours) but it was so fun. We sang and laughed and screamed and danced and the next day I felt old but so content. I can't really explain everything that happened and how happy I felt despite my voice cutting out, my entire body aching and Michael having quite possibly the worst letterman moment ever, it was still such an amazing night.
The art exhibit at The Geffen was so, so, so good. Some pieces were heart breaking, some were hilarious and I am glad we all went and saw it. Also Chocolate Almond Pocki is worth 2.50 as long as you don't lose it when you get home.
We had so much fun and in a few days we're all (with the addition of my awesome Mom) going to see Mickey and eat churros and laugh and try to make my birthday as good as possible despite everything else going on in our world. I cannot wait.
p.s
growing up was your birthday a big deal? is it a big deal now?
