RENT February 27 2009 Los Angeles & Music
Before I became part owner of Chicharon Adventures, before I graduated from USC, before I was a marketing manager at an adult entertainment company, I was really into theater. And I still am. After high school, I thought I'd end up in that industry but things change. I understand that this post may not bode well with 'street culture', but I don't care. Around here, we do things the way we want, and soon enough we'll align two worlds that rarely meet.Last night, RENT opened at the Pantages for a brief two week run. RENT defined my generation; it's a musical about friendship, struggle, death, and love - all in epic proportions. Kim, Cokoy, and I rolled to Hollywood to catch it. We're still reeling from an amazing night. I wish I could share our experience with photos, but Pantages has some serious nazi ushers. Enjoy some randoms, and then see it for yourself.
This ventriloquist was on the corner of Hollywood and Argyle. He was really loud and he was talking all kinds of nonsense. I asked to take a picture of him, and he answered by pointing to his empty box mid-nonsense.
This quartet has been hanging around the theater for months now. Completely acapella, they grace patrons with old school tunes from groups like Earth, Wind, and Fire, The Temptations, and The Isley Brothers.
Smokers at intermission.
The ushers couldn't stop me this time.
The attendant at the parking lot had the cutest pitbull puppy. Her name was "Princess".
