"Incredible " ..I’m thinking as I stand on the rail of the patio!
The sun is the strongest it’s been all week. It creeps over the Hollywood Hills and shines it’s spot light down onto a 50 foot palm tree beside the pool. The warm heat from the new sun is casting rays on the cold morning shadows. Can this be an indication that today is going to be the best day yet (weather wise). For a moment I feel like a king in the valley of angels. Coffee?
I look down on a few hard workers. They are air spraying white paint , on the exterior of the Marquis. A spit shine and touch up, for the world’s elite, that will come here in droves in the coming months. BUT NOW IT’S CHECK OUT TIME. ADOIS AND TILL NEXT TIME BABY. WONDERFUL TIME @ SM! SEE YA!
So now I’m thinking. One last coastal beach before we head home the next day. Off to Venice Beach and home to the original Muscle Beach. We drive all the way down Fairfax to Vience Blvd. Turn right and slam into classic LA traffic. You know that image of traffic we’ve all seen on TV regarding L.A.??? That’s the one baby! It’s real! PURE GRINDLOCK….….Standstill time. The top is down, but now The Machine is grounded. I kind of feel like an idoit now with the rag down. But I look over, and there are cars worth 4 times my salary in the same situation.
I look up at the bus window beside me…” HEY…ISN'T THAT THE MOHAWK PUNKER I TALKED TO AT THE WHISKEY LAST NIGHT???…..IT IS!!!"….(life is too weird sometimes)
What should be 20 minutes to the Pacific shores of Venice Beach…it's now looking like 5 minutes a block. 1 hour later we arrive in Venice Beach. Home to every freak within a 100 file radius of the Hollywood sign. This place is crazy loco! DAMN..and now I think I have sun burn from the traffic jam! I'm starting feel torn and frayed from this trip. It's sinking in...I may need a holiday from the holiday!
"Snap out of it man!...You'll get plenty of rest when your dead."
We end the night at the Viper Room for a stiff drink and some live music. Just in time
