Burbank – Hollywood – Seattle
This week I traveled to Burbank on business. I actually stayed in Hollywood, which is always a treat simply because it’s such a bizarre place. It was 95 degrees each day I was there, so I got a good dose of California heat. My hotel was near Universal Studios, so I spent a little time each evening strolling along the City Walk. On my first night I happened to catch some music wafting over from the Universal Amphitheater (sponsored by Gibson). On Sunday night it was a great latino rock band, and I was tempted to buy a ticket and check them out. When I looked at the schedule I was amazed to see that the night before I arrived, a terrifying triple bill had occurred: Sebastian Bach (of Skid Row fame), Dokken, and Poison! Honestly if I had been there one day earlier I could have gotten a seriously good does of California hair metal… and truth be told… I might have gone just for the crazy fun of it all.
Returning home was great. I was fortunate that my airline could switch me to an earlier flight, so I avoided 4 hours of hanging out in Burbank airport. All in all, a good trip.
