But I especially feel bad that I missed meeting up with many of my TC friends. I still had a blast. I'll be back probably in June when there is less going on and I'll plan a little more in advance. Got a late start on Friday Pulled into Hollywood after midnight. I figured I missed the Fisherman and the Mai Kai Gents so we went to Crane's for the Club-au-go-go pre-party and saw many old friends from San Diego mod days. Slept 5 hours and went to Langer's for pastrami on rye with russian drwssing and cole slaw. Yum! Took TikiBong up on his invite and had a delicious Mai Tai at his lovely home and tiki garage - my first visit to a tiki garage! Thank you Bong for the Aloha hospitality. Visited Java Lanes and the Parasol Restaurant. The bowling alley near the Parasol may be endangered as well, as they plan to redo the whole shopping center. I got back at 6 and was hungry so we ate in Little Tokyo I finally made it to the Tiki Ti at 9 on Saturday. After a Space Pilot and 2 Painkillers (my new favorite!) I was feeling fine, so I cabbed it over to Cafe-au-go-go to see the Now and the Morlocks I figured I should get some sleep because Sunday we had to get up at 10, check out of the hotel, and meet at Union Station for the Charles Phoenix Disneyland Downtown Bus Tour! Humu, that's why I failed to call you about the party. It looks like it was great time and I regret missing it, but getting no sleep, taking a 6-hour bus tour, and spending 5 hours driving back home just didn't seem like a very good idea. You all looked so sharp at the party! The tour was remarkable, even in the 90-degree heat of day. Some highlights: The old Fred Harvey Restaurant at Union Station was opened for us. Union Station was the start, as the train station is at the entrance to Disneyland. The North patio at Union Station Chinatownland Me, Karen, and new friend Jozanna, whom we met on the tour We had lunch at AMAZING Clifton's (Adventureland) The remains of a Dutch Chocolate Company, now housing vendors of Spongebob beach towels and glowing Jesus pictures We cooled off at the incredible Bob Baker Marionette Theater (Fantasyland) And finally, Tomorrowland! Goodbye Los Angeles, I love you! Until next time. [ Edited by: thejab on 2004-05-03 17:39 ]
