"...Goin' Back to Cali, to Cali..."
Surprises, Star Sightings and naps! I know we just took a cool vacation in August to upstate NY, but, we decided at the last minute to surprise our good friend Chad Stewart for his 40th birthday party.....in LA!!! (Chad+Amy+Amy+LA=afternoon naps!) So, I thought while we were there I would snap some shots of locations with historical signifigance, at least to all of us crazy fans of the 80s!! To see full-size versions of these photos, plus many more, check out our Facebook Photo page! I will be adding more photos, including The Viper Room, Rainbow, Whiskey a Go Go, Chateau Marmont, Capitol Records and even more stars' homes, plus a video or two, and more throughout the rest of this week! Hollywood Sign Hollywood Bowl The Famous Ivy Restaurant  Simon Le Bon  Nokia Theater at LA Live, Duran Duran.. AWESOME!!!!! John Taylor & Simon Le Bon The Body Shop, from Motley Crue's "Girls, Girls, Girls"   Highland Gardens Hotel, where Janis Joplin died of a drug overdose 'Nuff Said!!

Bonus Photos
Here's A Few Fun Shots From The Trip Chad's Birthday Party at St. Felix in Hollywood. Liza, you did a great job! Thank you "Fun Bobby"!!!!

Chad sings his version of "Beth" with Motochrist, at Crazy Girls, yes, that is where "Girls, Girls, Girls" was filmed! 
These billboards were ALL over LA, of course, because the new season was about to start when we were there.  I thought it was a very clever design. But the REAL significance of this photo is that, while we were waiting at the 101 Coffee House to surprise Chad, Micheal C. Hall was having breakfast and doing an interview two tables from us!!! (FYI, he had oatmeal for breakfast!!!) |
