Angela's Nine Inch Nails / LA Itinerary

there are sooo many things that i want to do while in the LA area! we are actually staying on the Hollywood side of LA. i found an outstanding deal at a hotel over there that i just could not pass up. i am 100% going to visit a friend at Forest Lawn Cemetery. a friend that i never got to meet in person, but he inspired and inspires me in so many ways... Pablo Thrailkill Castelaz.
i want to hit up the comedy store since Pauly Shore has always been sweet and replied to every email i have ever sent him in request for LA advice. (unfortuantely Pauly wont be in town when i am). we also want to see the Hollywood Sign, Chinese Theatre... and all that jazz. i'll be sure to keep you updated! and if you have any advice or suggestions, please let me know! email me at imaginebttrfly@yahoo.com or hit my up on my cell, text or call, if you are fortunate enough to have my digits. i'll post as many photos as i can from my phone while we are there... you can follow real-time updates i post from my phone via my twitter http://twitter.com/imaginebttrfly or you can check out my photos only, here.

Nine Inch Nail / Aragon Ballroom, Chicago 08.29.09

damn! last night was miserable! you can see the timeline on my http://twitter.com/imaginebttrfly i'll write something of more substance about it when i am up to it. literally, about 20 people cut in line in front of us & we had waited over 10 hours, we got inside & there was 1 row of people in front of us at the rail, LONG story short we were surrounded by most violence i have ever ever encountered at a show & my body/head couldnt take it so we got out of the pit & went to balcony where my pain persisted & i couldnt enjoy the show in pain so we left. i was in SOOO much pain & so hurt by the evil crowd. i know what goes on, i have been on the rail many times before, but last night was something beyond stupid and uncalled for. i hope the main 2 evil people that were mean to me last night get their karma. it was 100% uncalled for. so, now i am home resting for LA. we will have to make LA just *that* much better to forget chicago aragon.
