After filming I hung out in Socal for a few days to catch up with some friends and get some business done while in town. I woke up and brought our equipment to the UPS Store and got a good laugh at these guys trying to box it up.

After that I swung by LAX, back to Anahiem and then headed to Hollywood for lunch. My friend is leaving Five Star Suites off Argyle where I have spent many nights on the couch. This place will be greatly missed!

This is a view out his living room window. If you look carefully in Slide America we shot one of the time lapses outside this window that made it into the final production of the film.

I have actually filmed a ton of stuff off his porch as well. The sun rises straight behind the downtown LA in the morning and it looks amazing.

We headed to my favorite resteraunt in Hollywood called Bossa Nova. It is a Brazilian place tucked away on Sunset and La Brea. A very small place with a nice open air dining area and delicious food.

After lunch I made my way out west to Pasadena. I snapped this photo driving down Sunset Blvd. while sitting in excruciating traffic that went no where for at least two hours.

I finally made it to the Pasadena Production Studio to return some equipment from our shoots and walked down the street to a friends office complex. After catching up on some work we hopped in his car and went to pick up his girls from school and took them to Jumpin Jammin!

Once we brought his daughters back home I got unpacked at my new place and got ready for dinner with my friend Kate and we headed back to old town to eat at Louise’s Trattoria! After that we made a quick trip to Hollywood to pick up some camera equipment and then headed back home.
