Hollywood, CA
The Frankie Goes To Hollywood
convention took place at the historical Roosevelt Hotel in the heart of
Hollywood California. I spent some time walking around and taking pictures
of the area...

The Roosevelt Hotel Exterior
The Roosevelt Hotel Lobby Interior

The view from the window of my room, featuring downtown L.A. and the Galaxy
Theater where the Rocky Horror Saturday movie showing took place

The Galaxy Theater at night...

Paper airplanes as tossed from the hotel windows...

This is the atrium of the Hollywood McDonald's

The Church of Scientology has several buildings/locations in the Hollywood
area...

The Egyptian Theater
Let this be a lesson to civic planners. Trees don't stay as cute little 10
foot tall shrubs forever. They eventually grow and block the name of
business establishments.

I took a lot of shots of this aerial - I found it intriguing in a retro kind
of way...

Frederick's of Hollywood in Hollywood.
Mann's Chinese
Theater Hollywood
Of course, Mann's claim to fame is the footprints and hands in the cement in
front of the theater

The Original Star Trek Crew & C3P0, R2-D2, and Darth Vader

Jack Nicholson and Arnold Schwarzenegger

George Lucas and Steven Spielberg, and The Marx Brothers

Susan Sarandon
Sean Connery (and Gremlin finds his Identical Hand Twin)

Mann's at night
The Hollywood Guinness
Museum


Madonna's Panties and Marilyn's Hair

Miscellaneous street shots
Ripley's Hollywood
Some Hollywood Fun Stuff
The poster child for cell phones - THE dirtiest phone in Hollywood.

Some Hollywood street art
The famous circular Hollywood Capitol Records Building

Miscellaneous shots of the famous Hollywood sign on the hill - this is the
closest I came to it all weekend (c'mon, it still IS just some letters on a
hill)

The beautiful Pantages Theater

The Hollywood Henry Fonda Theater, however, has seen better days
Stars on The
Hollywood Walk of Fame
Shooting the Stars on The Walk is a bit of an "Art" as you will see by the
varying degrees of quality and readability of the stars in the pictures
here.


The Walk starting point

The first two stars on the walk are Elvis and The Beatles

Midnight Madness' Gremlin in front of The Beatles star (and the Monkees one
on the right there).


Yours truly at Gene Roddenberry's star - the only one I cared about enough
to get a picture of with me in it.

Gremlin got a shot there too.

Gremlin in front to Groucho Marx's and Alfred Hitchcock's Star

This was one of the Really Freaky Coincidental ThingsTM
that occurred during the weekend of the convention. The actor Carrol
O'Connor died on the first day of the con, then on the second day music
legend John Lee Hooker died. Their stars on the Walk of Fame are right
next to each other (that one in the middle is a blank). Thinking there
might be some weird kind of cosmic conspiracy going on, we checked the stars
before and after theirs to see what happened. One was an actor that had long
since passed away (and I can't remember now), the other was Don Johnson, who
is still alive and well to this day...


Little known fact, the stars on The Walk Of Fame are privately financed from
donors, and are taken care of by volunteers (above) and through donations.
Some of the older stars have fallen into a bit of disrepair, like Fay Wray's
here...

Some more stars of general random note...

Spanky McFarland (of, the Little Rascals) & The Simpsons

Two Wesley's - Willis (of Pop That Pussy fame) and Snipes

Tom Petty, Kenny G ;-P and Pee-Wee
...and Marilyn Monroe
