Met up with Dorothy and Brett. I've known Dorothy since we were in junior high school together. I didn't really get to know her until about junior year of high school but we've been good friends since. She's been living in Los Angeles and promised to show Trung and me around Hollywood.We went to Pink's for lunch. Pink's is a hot dog stand. But much more than that, it has transcended into a Los Angeles institution. It's world famous as a Los Angeles landmark and for their chili dogs. So I had 2 chili cheese dogs and a peach Nehi. Trung had a Harry Potter Dog (Polish sausage, grilled onions, grilled mushrooms, bacon and nacho cheese), an Ozzy Osbourne Dog (spicy Polish sausage, nacho cheese, american cheese, grilled onions, guacamole and chopped tomatoes) and a Coke. Brett and Dorothy ate a coleslaw dog, a Mulholland Drive Dog (10" stretch dog, grilled onions and mushrooms, bacon and nacho cheese), a Pastrami Reuben Dog (pastrami, mustard, sauerkraut and swiss cheese) and a peach Nehi. They also split some fries and a side of chili.
They then took us around Hollywood. First, we parked at Hollywood & Highland Center which is free as long as we bought something in the mall. We walked to Grauman’s Chinese Theatre to look at the stars’ foot and hand prints. We took a few pictures there. We then walked across to check out the some of the stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and to take more pics of the theatre. We then walked down the street to check out the lesser known Grauman’s Egyptian Theater. As we walked down the street, I stopped every so often to take more pics of the stars on the ground. We headed down the street to check out a movie poster place that Brett and Dorothy like to visit. We headed back down the street on the opposite side to check out the stars on that side. We stopped at a costume shop just to look around a bit before we headed back to the mall for our car.
After the trip around Hollywood, we headed up to Hollyhock House. It’s really close to where Dorothy lives and offers a fantastic view of the Hollywood sign. It was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright and was being restored when we went up to it. After Hollyhock, Trung and me dropped off Dorothy and Brett at her apartment and headed to our hotel in Manhattan Beach. After we checked in and went upstairs to take showers and freshen up, we went out for dinner. Trung took me to Irvine so we could catch some dinner. We ended up going to see Bob Saget at the Improv instead and just ate dinner there.
