Los Angeles

Started the day avoiding the parade for the Lakers. One, I don't like the Lakers and two - the crowd was crazy! Kelly had to get out early to avoid the traffic, so we were sans vehicle.....We hung out around the hotel and went to lunch at the downstairs eatery. I had the Sushi pizza for the first and last time. It wasn't very good. Anyway, seems everyone was wearing Lakers gear....

We then went to see Toy Story 3 in 3D. It was really fun. Quite a good ending to the series, although it did leave openings for a fourthquel if they so choose.

Kelly cam home from work and we decided to hit the sites. of course Rodeo drive was on the list. I didn't mind so much as it allowed me to gawk at the cars. Porsche, Mercedes and BMW's are so common as to be boring. The stars are the Ferrari's, Rolls Royce's, Maserati's and Bentley's. Rodeo drive shuts down at 5pm - so get there early if you really want to go in to stores.

So we went to China Theater/Walk of Fame. That's when the day got interesting. We ate dinner at Johnny Rocket's (which is always good). I had a perfect view at the Quizno's across the walkway. Anyway, I could see a customer trying to leave the store - but two employees wouldn't let him - they kept trying to get the bag of Quizno's away from him (like he didn't pay for it or something) He also had tree shoulder bags wrapped around him - but not in a homeless person type way, as in a guy with too much technology (only later did I find out he had a whiny female with him - but I digress). They finally got him out of the store without the Quizno's bag - that is when things got interesting. Bag dude threw a punch at the shorter worker. Clocked him pretty good on the left eye. Well, shorty had a knife! And used it! Cut the puncher dude in the shoulder. The fracas went around the corner and I couldn't see anything anymore - then punching guy back-pedals back the way they came with shorty-knife guy holding a chair. It was like he was keeping a lion away. The whole time whiny girlfriend girl was well, whining. She was annoying. Anyway, by this time security showed up and escorted puncher dude and whiny girl away and started getting statements from the Quizno's people. Al full 20 minutes later - the cops showed up. There was something hinky with puncher guy turned cut dude as he was VERY anxious to get away from any security type persons......So it ended up being dinner AND a show :)

Then we saw Dog The Bounty Hunter going in to the nightclub that was on the next level up. All from the same seats.

All in all, quite an entertaining night! :)
