I'm going to be working in L.A. at Olympic Stadium the last half of June for some concert / festival event thingy. I think the name is "Electric Daisy Carnival 2010".
But all I see is the stage drawings!
I'm not sure if I will get any "Down Time" but if I do, what is there to do near by? Even if I have some time I need to be able to get back fast, In the event of....

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

Hang out with Tom the trainer and meet the stars.


That's an Idea & I would like to but I think he might be a bit far. I could be wrong.
I need to stay close as I'll be "On Call" 24/7.
On a side note sorry to hear about your work situation.
If I had known a month ago I could have given you some work.
L.A. would have been perfect.
I'll let you know what is coming up. No promises, But I could always say your my "Hearing Aid" or "Eye Glasses"!
Both of witch I need desperately! Can you point yer finger & say "THAT's ALL WRONG"!

What's Olympic Stadium? The Colleseum? Yep, I just did a google search. I'm about 40 minutes North of the middle of LA. You've got yourself an invitation Mr.

Cory (spikethebest) lives about 10 minutes from me and I bet he'd love to meet up and hang out too.

Oh i know, My husband has Dj'd at these before...
I have been behind the scenes for years until this past year, when i quit.

God yanked my chain and told me to stop, i went from a party person, promoter, to throwing our own "house Parties" , to just being a normal house wife, mom.

I really don't know how I got here! Life is funny that way.
My first job (way before the turn of the century) was as an Alligator wrestler for the Seminole Tribe. I was 9.
I still did tat off & on until just a few years ago.

This was when I ran away & joined the Circus.

Good Lord!

Those are some interesting poses, indeed.

I guess your system runs pretty high in adrenaline. Do you still have lots of those exotic animals around your house?

I'm so jealous someone is heading to LA,we went in March, but Ava ended up with Chicken pox so the TFO tour didn't go as planned....

We went to Sunset beach, and saw a migrating grey whale and a pod of dolphins off the coast!
