Monday night I hauled ass to Sara's house, and then we hauled ass to California!
We stopped in Chatsworth to see my friend Heath. We came in really early, like 5am early and I felt bad but we hung out for a couple hours until our hotel was ready. We walked down Hollywood Blvd. for a little bit mostly looking for a costume shop. Sara got some fangs and we found some cool creepy contacts at some little smoke shop. Ate and then we went back to the hotel to get some sleep. I had been up since 9am the morning before....this is 28 hours and 500 miles later.....we were so engrossed in putting in our contacts and wearing our fangs and scaring the people in the lobby that we didnt sleep till almost 2:00pm.
We got ready got super hot and got us some liquor from the Pink Elephant Liquor Store(hahaha love the name) down the street from our hotel. Yelled at some Jesus freaks and just riased hell........I mean, it WAS 666......come on!
We looked hot! More pictures of SkumLove to come!
We downed half a bottle of Smirnoff before the club and manged probably 6 more beers while we were there.
I mist say the Whisky is MUCH smaller than I expected, but we got our tickets got in and absorbed the history.
Adam Sandler, Nikki Sixx, Janis Joplin, The Doors, Jack Black, KISS, the list goes on and on...they all played on the stage at the Whisky a Go Go.
We went upstairs to help Skum and Jesse with make up and I managed down a couple shots of Jager....I was feeling great!
Blessed played an awesome show, it was the first time I have seen them live and they were awesome :: high five guys ::
In the meantime, I'm wearing these 5 inch heels and a tight knee length skirt so stairs are quite a challange for me. Being shitfaced doesn't help. While walking down the stairs I managed to miss a step or two or 5 and fell.......ass first, bouncing all the way down. Got to the bottom and only spilled half my beer. I hope no one saw, if you did, I hope you got a good laugh LOL.
Skum played last and they rocked as usual. Hot new mic stand btw.
So everyone was going to the rainbow room afterwards. After some small drama that was dealt with I headed up Sunset to what I thought was the Rainbow room......drunk ass here appearantly cant read and I went into the Rox. Up the stairs and surrounded by a bunch of people that did NOT look like they came from a metal show with hip hop playing in the background.....I was a little out of place. I figured I was in the wrong place....no shit, Amanda! Finally figured out that the bar I was looking for was next to the Rox and I found Skum and Matt and had a beer with them. It was good times.
So, I'm not the dramatic emotional drunk. Anyone who knows me, knows this....but between some mixed signals, crossed words, pain of the feet that I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy, and too much alcohol..................I wigged out. There's me whitegirl from out of state walking alone barefoot down Sunset Blvd crying her little eyes out. Pathetic...FUCKING PATHETIC! My favorite boys drove by and saw me and stopped to help me and as soon as I saw him walking towards me I lost it and like a blubbering little whiny bitch, couldn't even tell him what I was crying for because I really didn't know. Sad, I know, right!? I had lost Sara at this time and was trying to get back to my car, not sure still how we were going to get home because I knew damn well I couldn't drive. But, they took me to Sara and then we got to my car and everything was okay.
I was standing there crying and whining and being a fucking retard as Jesse is telling me the shut the fuck up I realised I needed some sense knocked into me so I turned to Sara and I said "Kick my ass......hit me, just slap me!" So she did.........."HARDER!" I screamed....so she hit me again.
We started our very own fight club! HAHA it was awesome!
I turned and hit her back but in my drunken-ness I didn't realise my own strength and hit her pretty hard I guess. I'm sorry Sara, I love you chick! You got me back in the parking garage really good, you made my brain rattle in my head, I felt it!
But I felt better afterwards. I was so out of it that the mere thought of getting into a fight just to lose sounded like just what I needed. I wanted to go pick a fight with someone just to get my ass whooped, because at that point I deserved it for being such a girl and crying like that.
So we got back to the hotel, safe and sound and NO I didn't drive!
I was rescued from my wahwah attitude by two cool chicks. Taylor and Jaime...They picked me up and we hung out and had a beer or two but before I knew it time was catching up on me and so was my droopy sleepy eyelids so I went back to the hotel and passed out just to wake up to banging on the door and the phrase "Housekeeping!" being yelled through it. Bitches, scared the crap out of us, we thought we missed check out.
After check out we went for a cruise, through Beverly Hills. In my ghetto ass Honda Civic with a poked out eyeball, we pretended we were movie stars. And, it's funny how at any moment in time you can bust out with the Fresh Prince of Bel Air song no problem but as soon as we got to Bel Air, we couldn't sing it for the life of us.....trust me, we tried!
We got to Venice Beach and walked down passed a lot of the shops. Didn't quite make it all the way across because we only had 2 hours and I wanted to go stick my feet in the water. There's lots of beach that you have to walk across before you get to the water there. Like whoa......super calves here!
So we watched the guy that walks on glass and some tarot card schmuck try to suck us into giving him $10 for something he told us that we could have read in any astrology book.
Got to see Muscle Beach and the basketball court that American History X was filmed on ..... that was neat.... and I swear there's about 100 different tattoo and peircing shops right there by the beach......it was nuts. Every 5 shops was a tattoo shop!
We got back in the car and made our way back to West Hollywood and chilled out at Starbucks filling up on caffeine, trust me walking down Venice Beach with a killer hangover, coffee does the trick.
We didn't want to leave and drive through rush hour traffic in Cali just to get home plus we wanted to wait till dark so it would be a cooler ride home. Heat sucks when you dont have A/C in your car...so we called up Matt and had a couple beers with him at Chevy's. It was a nice way to end our trip to Hollywood.
Never did get to see the Hollywood hills BUT I got to see Warner Bros Studios on the way there in Burbank. It was neat. DER
and there IS a Weinerschnitzel there Bruce, you're full of shit!
I might sound cheesy and silly being excited about all that tourist-y crap but I was born and raised in Tucson, AZ...never lived anywhere other than tucson besides Honolulu, and that place is whack! So these little famous landmarks are freaking cool if you ask me!!!! Shut up, I know I'm a geek! I wanted to walk down Rodeo drive but my feet would not allow it, plus I got splashed in the ass of my jeans by a wave and I just wanted to get somewhere to change.
So California was a mother fucking blast and I want to go back already!
