“Homer Simpson, smiling politely”

We’re in Hollywood now, and it’s not as well manicured as Anaheim. We’re staying behind Grauman’s Chinese Theatre, right in the thick of things. It’s cool seeing all the stars on the walk of fame, and all the foot and hand prints in the theatre courtyard.

We walked down to Guitar Centre on Sunset Boulevard today, and as we got there we noticed there were bouncers on the door. “That’s odd”, we thought, and then we noticed Billy Corgan and Jimmy Chamberlain from the Smashing Pumpkins! My wife whipped her camera out, and Billy saw us and came over, saying “Would you guys like a photo?” I snapped one of him with my wife and her little sister with him, and he disappeared back inside. Turns out they were there for their Rock Walk induction. Truly awesome timing, and it beats our previous celeb spotting experience of seeing Kelsey Grammar at Disneyland. Walking back to the hotel we passed a film crew, but no clue as to what they were filming.

The air quality seems worse here than Anaheim, I guess because it’s further from the coast. You can really see the air, it’s as bad as they say. They do love their cars here. Plenty of Lexus’ (Lexi?), Mercs and Beemers, as well as bling’d out Chrysler 300Cs and JDM imports. Hummer count since we got here: 8. Also plenty of limos and helicopters.

Universal Studios tomorrow, should be awesome.
