Saturday night, Erika and Timmy and Ashley and JR and Irving and I packed up a picnic and headed to the Hollywood Bowl to see Planet Earth Live.

 

From their website:

Spectacular footage from the celebrated BBC television series Planet Earth is shown in stunning high-definition on the Bowl’s big screen, accompanied by the Los Angeles Philharmonic under the baton of the series’ award-winning composer, George Fenton. Together they will take you on an epic journey through the earth’s most amazing environments, featuring some of nature’s most mysterious and beautiful creatures.

But first…. THE FOOD!

YAY for Hollywood Bowl Picnics! Those are just the BEST!

I was making fun of Timmy because he ate the Pasta Salad… but left out all the veggies! That’s the best part! I ate them for him. I ❤ crunchy celery. I’m weird.

Erika’s Cookies… oh man, TO DIE FOR!

The show was fantastic. My favorite night at the bowl EVER.

The animals in it were SO CUTE! I especially loved the polar bears.

There was a cute little kid behind us asking every 5 minutes: “Is that the mommy? Where is the baby? Is the baby following the mommy?” Awe. Little kids love little animals. It was adorable.

  Entourage has been filming in my neighborhood. Yes, Ari’s house is just a few blocks down!

Erika and Timmy had been staking it out all day, waiting for a glimpse of the cast! I finally joined them around 9:30pm and we waited until we saw someone.

First thing’s first, a lovely prop photo of Johnny Drama!

We finally saw Christina Aguilera walk to the set! She’s going to be on this season! She was really cute. No pictures, but we were really close to her! And then later, we saw her husband arrive on the set!!

IMG_4373

We wanted to see Jeremy Piven so bad!! Finally around 11pm, he came out of the house to grab some food at Craft Services. I had my camera out… and then a huge van pulled up in front and totally blocked our view!!! We couldn’t believe that we they had been there all day and night waiting for him…. he finally came out… and then we couldn’t even see!!!

Oh well. It was fun anyways. I love this town.

 

The craziness we call life… June 26, 2010

This was one of the weirdest weeks of my life. Between everything going with work and in general, Irving and I didn’t see each other from Monday night til Friday morning! We just kept missing each other. We just laughed at how our lives just got a little crazy, but it was fun.

Monday night, we tried to go to the LA Film Festival, but it was so disorganized and crazy that we didn’t end up seeing the movie. Oh well.

We did take some fun pictures at the festival though!

LA Live was crazy this week. Lots of stuff going on… including the Twilight premiere. There were fans that camped out for 6 days in the courtyard to see the red carpet.

I don’t really think there is anything I like so much that I’d camp out for 6 days to see… but good for them. haha

So being the clever girl that I am… I made it into a manicure party!

When the girls came over and were greeted by their swag bags.IMG_4182

I was being eco-friendly and reused some of my (many) Victoria’s Secret bags I’ve been stashing over the years. Oohhhh Pretty!
