LA Story

This time 9 years ago, I was on the road to LA, barreling down Highway 5 from San Francisco in our rental car with U2 blaring on the stereo. Me & Bones were over working in Sun HQ in Mountain View and we had a long weekend to kill, so we flipped a coin to see where we'd go for it: heads LA, tails Las Vegas. It came up heads, so we booked a hotel and off we went. My first (and last) ever thanksgiving dinner was in a restaurant opposite Mann's Chinese Theatre on Hollywood Boulevard. Over the weekend we almost went to Disneyland (too expensive and wud take a whole day of the 3 days we were there), Universal Studios (closed just as we got there), and did get to the Hollywood sign, Rodeo Drive, Hollywood Boulevard, La Brea Tar Pits, and Malibu Beach, along with getting lost along the way a good few times (bloody first generation in-car GPSes.....). I wouldn't call it he highlight of that trip to the US, but was a fairly good weekend.

Man, where did the time go eh? Is 9 fecking years ago......
