Trip to LA Part II: Hollywood!

Part 2 of 3: Hollywood

Then it was on to Hollywood! I was rather disappointed in Hollywood Boulevard - it is actually pretty run down and shady. Some of the historic theaters could definitely use restoration, and the proliferation of "adult" stores and panhandlers detracted from the experience. Nonetheless, we walked the Walk of Fame and took pictures of the stars. Each had a different style: I only took pictures of a few stars that really stood out to me (such as the band Queen) and only with with me in the picture with the star.

Buddy your a boy, make a big noise playing in the street! (Technically sidewalk.)

N took lots of star pictures - focusing on names such as Ray Bradbury, Jim Henson, and Gene Roddenberry.

(If you look closely, you'll see my shoe!)

M, playing the role of "least geeky" in our trio, took pictures of the stars for Harrison Ford, Samuel Jackson, Sylvester Stallone and the like.


At the end of our walk we reached the Chinese theater and the famous foot and hand prints! N and M only took a few pics, but I went hogwild, enthralled with comparing my foot-size to all the actors. Frankly, the foot/handprints seem much more human and intersting than the engraved stars. A lot of actors wrote little catchphrases in their concrete, such as "Carpe diem!" from Dead Poet Society and "I'll be back" from the Terminator series.


Fact: my feet are the same size as Robin Williams' and bigger than Bruce Willis'. (At least based on the shoes he wore that day.)

Yippee ki yay!!! I am so badass; my feet are bigger than Bruce Willis'!!!
