Backbeat and Oscar Sunday

Proud of my beautiful City of Angels and all that she has to offer. 
Pretty day today!

I'm old enough to remember when it was said that one thing LA lacked over NYC was culture.  Those days are long gone friends.

 

Culture?  We got that.

 

 Oh yes, this is totes happening.

 

Today I made a quick trip downtown

to pick up our theater tickets for next week.  Taking my crew of 6 to see Backbeat at the beautiful Ahmanson Theatre. 

 

With two musicians, one actor, two former actors, and one former stage manager in my crew, we love us some theater...especially musicals.

 

 

 

 

We have a lovely Music Center downtown that is made up of the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion, The Mark Taper Forum and the Ahmanson Theatre.

 

 

 

 

 

And later as I was traveling across town, I was rudely reminded that it's Oscar weekend...ran into this roadblock smack dab in the middle of Hollywood Boulevard:

 

 

 

I gotta tell you it was a tad cray cray out there.

 

 

Anyway...my three favorite films this year:

 



 

Who are you rooting for?  It doesn't really matter...it only matters that you get out and see the amazing films being made for our viewing pleasure. 

 

It just makes you feel good!

 

And for some pre Oscars fashion fun,

please follow my favorite costume designer, Luke Reichle on Twitter @RedCarpetLuke.  He is the fabulous costume designer for Castle...beautiful amazing costumes....and he really KNOWS his red carpet fashions!  Luke will be live-tweeting the Red Carpet...his tweets are always a hoot :)
