GOODBYE MARINA DEL REY – HELLO HOLLYWOOD!

So just to bring everyone up to speed, I’m 9 hours behind you – so, in a way, I’m actually in the past. Everything I’m doing now, you’ve already been through. And I’m enjoying it – thank you – I like what you’ve done here.

I’m well and truly IN Hollywood now. Like…inside it!

After a couple weeks in Marina Del Rey with The Advertising Guy, The Italian and The Ripper (you caught the video of The Venice Beach Skateboard Guy, right?) and The Comedian and his angel, I finally hooked up with the rest of the crew (Lauren McGregor and Zinzi – Pauly Shore’s adopted son – for a week) and moved into The Standard Hotel (check that out – they’ve got a live girl in a glass casing behind the front desk) on Sunset Boulevard, Hollywood. That’s in Los Angeles, which is in California.

How amazing is it that all of those names sounds so incredible? I mean “Hollywood” is rad on it’s own, right? Then you find out it is also a part of “L.A.” which sounds so cool. And then, just to top it off, they’re both in CALIFORNIA, baby!!! R to the power of AD!

So I thought I’d give you some crazy pics from the previous part of my adventure (which took place in Marina Del Rey), as we enter into the next – a week causing havoc with Pauly Shore (recap: here and here).

These shots were all taken within a 5 minute bike ride of our place in Marina Del Rey – BEFORE I moved to Hollywood (on Sunday).

From the outside, this house looks normal..

But then you poke your head over the wall..
And you get a full-sized Lakers basketball court
With the logo in the middle..

Would be cool if it was number 1600

Arrrr!
The residents of Marina Del Rey and Venice beach
enjoy props and mannequins.
In this case – there are pirates all over the walls!

Whoops! This angel was not happy.
She obviously thought I was a pervert..
You see what I go through, for YOU!?

Is that even viable?

Balletjies..

 

So ja, that was Marina Del Rey… probably where I would live if I ever had to spend extended time in LA. Which I might do, when they make a movie about that screenplay which I did about “the vibe.” In general.

Pauly Shore finds the vibe hysterical..

 

And this is where it all starts, gang. We’ve been filming for the last couple of days and the footage will (should) start to come out today..

Watch this space.. say 4pm today?

Probably nearer to 5pm.

But start looking at 4.

Hold me.

Touch me.

Touch yourself.

 

 

* By the way, ex-pats in the UK will be interested to learn that Mylene Klass is also staying here at The Standard hotel on Sunset Boulevard. She threw a stinky tantrum in the lobby yesterday and actually used the words “Jesus H Christ” when shouting at one of her gimps. Mboerrrt!
