Hollywood Bowl, Apples and Rain....

Yes. I know. It has been another extremely long dry spell between entries here. I was just talking with Nathaniel and he too acknowledged the down time on this here blog. Lets try and rectify the situation with a fun filled post of music, apple picking and some beautiful rainy L.A. weather.....
Friday was fantastic. David and I went on the date night of all date nights to the LCD/Hot Chip show at the Hollywood Bowl. David got us an extreme hook up which included a complimentary box, all access pass and VIP pass to a roof terrace party. Talk about rollin' like Kells! How often do I get to use VIP when describing any of my usual destinations! The show was great. We were walking up just as Hot Chip started their first song. The sound from the box was AWESOME!



They continued to play a killer set and ended with an audience fave, Ready for the Floor.
After their set ended, we decided to go backstage to use the restroom. Major bonus! No lines and extremely clean. Do you think that Gustavo has been in here before?



After David chatted with his crew for a bit, we were all set for LCD's show to begin. We started off watching from the stage, but quickly realized that the show would look and sound better from the box. We headed back out to enjoy the rest of the set from the front. The mix of energy, misty rain and music paired up with the beauty of the bowl made for one of the best shows I have ever been to. May I add that my videos pale in comparison to David's ongoing footage of the band but alas.....professional filming at the bowl has a hefty price!!!



The night ended with a drink on the terrace with some new and amazing folks, getting to the car lonely in the lot long after the stacked parking has dissolved (apologies to the car behind us!), and a post show stop to In-and-Out for cheeseburgers. Kind of the perfect fall night. The kind that makes me glad that I live here in L.A.........

And on to apples.....however, taking into consideration the amount of space/time required by the videos in this post to load, I am thinking that it may be smart to house the apple experience in a post all his own.....
