Well to say that it was a blast, would be an underestimate! So many bands! So many people! So many friends!
My friend’s from San Diego,  HOCUS,  kicked things off. They rocked out! We love them so much!
Paige & I were sweaty and ready for some early nite action, so we set out to walk Hollywood Boulevard. What a trip! Things have really changed for the better!
The Knitting Factory was in the plaza located on the corner of  Hollywood Boulevard  & Sycamore. Gabby,  Adriana Barbor  & I used to share the famous one bedroom apartment on Sycamore that housed many a late-night,  early-mornin’,  2-3 day later parties!  Many of the friends we had back then were strippers or up & coming musicians.  Because the place was a thriving “hell”,  it was coined “Psycho-Ward”, instead of Sycamore Apartments! Hahaha! Funny.
Anyway, Hollywood Boulevard was loaded with crazy people in costumes wanting to be photographed.  I saw TWO ALIVE Michael Jackson’s and one had angel wings! Yoda was a booby-pervert, and some Freddy Krueger looking guy jumped out at Paige  & scared the living *$#@ out of her!  Many families with small children & loads of tourists flocked the newly renovated & beautiful area that was once a hooker-haven , a home for under-aged run-aways, and a resting point for hopeless junkies hell-bent on destruction.
Upon reaching a really tall & old building for lease, I became over-whelmed with emotion. Not only was this historic landmark for lease, it was where my dear friend Dennis Morgan had his Hollywood office….the first of the many I can remember.  I helped him move his belongings from it. Also, the nature of America’s financial crisis permeated my thoughts. I just told Paige if Disney ever crashes, I’m bailin’ on America!!! I need the fantastical, magical world of Disney to keep things level.
We returned to the plaza level right in front of the Fresh & Easy right below The Knitting Factory  & relaxed. All my posse was blowin’ up my phone! When everyone caught up with us we had some quality time aside from loud music & a club environment to chill & laugh. This I love! My old friends & my new friends came together in harmony & happiness . Chatter,  jokes & laughter filled the points of echo on the cement.  Daemon,  Roadie from Hell,  provided Shiatsu Therapy which Paige & I languished in.  Jeanie & Lando giggled & told us how they met & married, amongst other interesting details. David, “Butters”, &  Sierra were quiet,  but laughed and took part in bits of conversation…they are in new-love,  so “words” are pointless.  They have all they need in each other’s embrace! Scott & his son walked around a caught some sights.
Michelle Cherie shared some personal  & legal wonders with me.  Pssst! Michelle don’t forget to text me the # to that guy that helped you out!  Vesper, Miss Boingo Rodriquez, or Bricklayer Bosh,  had a special guest from Tahoe-her MOm! How fricken cute is that?  They looked like sisters.  I loved herMom ! Anyway, I am rambling, I am tired so stay tuned….more to follow……& pictures! MWA!
