Backity Back

Had a fabulous weekend in L.A. in spite of 1) unbelievable heat 2) L.A. traffic 3) L.A. person densities.

So how does one start a mini-vacation off right in So Cal? Drive directly from Burbank Airport to Disneyland. 🙂 Surprised me with tickets to Disneyland.

And someone noticed that Dland was falling down the tubes – last time I visited, staff were rude and paint was shabby.
They fixed it. ALL of it. Disneyland was the Disneyland of my childhood. take note! All fixed. Polite cast membres, shiny streets, unchipped paint. The Tiki Room is unbelievably restored.

We saw Erasure at the Palace (now called “the Avalon”: whatever.) – Band called OMDelkland opened – they were great. Erasure did a fabulous set but it ended too quickly. Andy only had 1 costume change.

Other niftyness of the trip involved a trip to “Lucky Tiki” which was a great little bar done up nicely in the neo-tiki way, dinner at delicious “Roy’s,” and the always important breakfast at Jerry’s.

And I’m so happy to see my beloved Portland again. And now I go back to work.

Thanks, !!
