The Colony Opening Night Party
Even though I already had a busy day .... I went to The Colony Theatre in Burbank tonight to do some volunteer work for them.
It was their opening night show and party for "The Thousandth Night" .
I helped them set-up the party, and then served wine and drinks all night.
There was delicious food, and lots of fun people to chat with.
It was a very fun night.

The Grove
After early afternoon of dealing with my Car... I headed over to The Grove .
First I headed over towards the Farmers Market .
Stopped for lunch at Johnny Rockets .
I ordered a burger, with mushrooms and swiss cheese. And it was terrible. It was the greasiest burger I have ever had. The grease was dripping of my burger as I ate it.
I thought about returning it.... but I was trying to make the movie showtime.
So I head on over to the Pacific Movie Theatres ,
to see Pirates of The Caribbean .
I really wanted to see this movie... but I was waiting until all the crowds died down to go.
And just as the movie started ... my stomach started to do weird things.
It was all the grease from the burger.
I usually don't eat fatty things like that.
Oh, no... I worried I was going to get sick during a 3 hour movie.
I made it through the movie ... but the entire bag of popcorn I bought, sat on the floor. I couldn't touch it after that hamburger.
I loved Pirates of The Caribbean .
I just wish there would have been more scenes with Johnny Depp.
But my favorite scene of all is when Bill Nighy transforms back into what he was before he had all those tentacles all over the place.

If you like Pirates, here are a few designs by some of my friends on Zazzle - that have a Pirate theme.

Smog Check
The renewal from the DMV for my license plate stickers has been sitting on my coffee table for about three months now.
And it was due on June 12.
I can't blame the DMV on this one - they gave me plenty of notice.
I went on-line a few weeks ago, and I paid my renewal fee.
That way I won't get a late fee on top of it.
But there is still the issue of the Smog Check to deal with.
So I tried to wake up early today, and go to my favorite car repair shop - Sams Sunset Fuel on Sunset Blvd in East Hollywood.
It didn't work. I turned off the alarm, and I went back to sleep.
After I woke up, and had my cup of coffee - I resigned myself to dealing with it.
I drove over to Auto Chek Centers, about a block away from Sams.
By this time it was the afternoon, and I was the only customer.
They guy with the clipboard, took all the information.
I laughed and said "Don't worry. I really don't expect to pass."
Nearly one year ago, I had been told I needed a new fuel pump.
My 1995 Crysler LeBaron Convertible still has the original fuel pump.
But I was told those fuel pumps are very expensive.
I needed a new radiator at the time, so I opted for that instead - and I have just never gone to get the fuel pump.
The car repair guy told me my engine was good, my transmission was good - and the 1995 Chrysler Le Baron only has 65,000 miles on it .... so get the fuel pump.
I've never gone to get the fuel pump.
I am probably getting terrible mileage.
I waited in the Auto Chek Service area. The guy reved up the engine in the stall - much faster that I have ever drove or ever will drive.... my poor car.
I was joking with the cashier "Its not going to pass."
And guess what ! The car passed !
The guy comes in with his clip board, and says "It passed"
My reply "Really ?? That surprises me!"

First, I overslept really late ... and was rushing to get out the door.
I wanted to grab dinner at a restaurant, but I didn't have time.
So once at Hollywood and Hollywood ,
I ran into the new Quiznos .
The guy behind the counter looks at me and says :
"First, before you order - we are out of ......"
and he lists about 20 different things like "all of our salads" and "roast beef",
I stood there saying "Okay, what DO you have?"
And I ended up with some beefy cheese sandwich ...I think it had mushrooms in it too.
Then ran down Hollywood Blvd, to make it in time for my volunteer shift at the
Egyptian Theatre .
There was a performance of Brand Upon The Brain by Guy Maddin.
