Last weekend we had a little escape up to LA. Although it is only 45 minutes away from home we got a hotel and had family watch the kids for the weekend. We kicked off our weekend with a Rammstein concert at "The Forum". This is probably our favorite band and we always thought we would have to see them in Germany. We never thought they would tour in America. So I was elated when I found on Facebook that they were coming to LA. The band is a German heavy metal band so the crowd was a little "rough" I think there were 3blondes in the whole crowd. The rest of the women were "goth girls" or of Mexican descent. And Dan & I were some of the "older" fans (although we are still younger than the band members).
Before the concert, we saw 'Flake" the keyboardist in the parking lot. He looked a ton older and I didn't recognize him in time to ask for a picture. So Dan shot this one.
Here's us in our nosebleed seats...surrounded by pot smokers. (My hair smelled like pot for the entire next day, until I had time to wash it.)
The next day we got up and went into the Fashion District and Fabric District in downtown LA. I bought some fabric for some projects and got out of there. We then stopped in at the Mormon Temple in Santa Monica and took a 18 1/2 years later picture of where we got married.
We then went to The Getty Museum for 5 hours of "Art Exploration". Dan had his picture taken in front of Van Gough's "Irises" worth over $150 million. ( My interpretation is that it is a strange picture painted by a strange person and I would never pay that much for it. I don't think I would even pay $1.50 for a poster. (But then obviously, I guess I have no taste in art.)
I had my picture taken in front of "Old Man Winter" . I just liked him, and he reminded me of Christmas and the curls in his beard matched the curls in my hair.
The next day we woke up at 11:00 (I don't think that has happened in at least 15 years.) Went to lunch at one of our favorite places in Capistrano and went for a walk along the beach in Laguna. It was the perfect ending to a nice weekend.

At least you have a spouse.
That sounds like a super-duper fun weekend!!! But seriously....5 hours in an art museum...BORING!!! Didn't you get hungry? ;)
That Rammstein guy looks soooo old...I never imagined him being that old....In fact I think it's kind of rude that you didn't offer to help the old man carry his groceries.
Danny doesn't need any help carrying groceries.
