Success Stories
It was really hot & there were hobos everywhere!
A freak dressed as Zorro stalked Me, my friend, & my mom! I put my hands in the same cement as Will Smith though & I also took a photo on Michael Jackson's star.
We rode the subway to it & back, on the way we helped a not-so-good-at-English Asian couple to the staples center.
Hollywood is fancy-smancy. I've been to where the stars film and there really is movie magic (tricks). Remember Bruce Almighty walking on water? How about Jack Sparrow swimming after he jumps from a ship? Well, they were all filmed in the same body of water with a huge green screen behind. Remember Fast and the Furious? Or the sinking 2012 boat? Well, the cars and boats were actually miniatures being filmed to crash and sink. Studios were in big warehouses. In the tour, you'll see the famous Desperate Housewives Wisteria Lane and the set for Psycho, complete with an actor, carrying what seems to be a dead body to his trunk. But tell your driver to go fast because he will see you and then come after you with a knife (best part of the tour, in my opinion).
There's a lot to see in Hollywood (except for actual stars, though) but you can see their names written on stars. The closest thing you can get to an artist is by sitting on the ground and trying to reach the floor with your face to get a picture. Get your own Oscar (but here's a tip, they're expensive if your in the "main" district)
The Hollywood sign was very far from the planetarium we visited. We couldn't find a way to get nearer. So I guess, one of my goals is to get nearer to those letters.
There are quite a few bums all over and there was also protesters surrounding Grauman's Chinese Theater, so we never got over to that part of Hollywood. Saw the sign up in the hills, but didn't take a photograph. Went to the Hollywood Bowl and saw The Music Box stairs south of Sunset Boulevard instead. :)
So fun! Got to see so many crazy things!
Well, I've been and it's pretty underwhelming
