the city i live in, the city of angels. lonely as i am, together we cry

I'm flying to Los Angeles in a little more than a month to visit my older sibling. Things I plan to do:

1. Stalk celebrities.
2. Go on a celebrity homes tour.
3. Take pictures of my favorite celebrities' stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
4. If Daniel can swing passes, run around Disney World like crazy, having my picture taken with Mickey and the gang.
5. Go to the beach.
6. Eat an In-N-Out burger.
7. Go to Rodeo Drive.
8. Take pictures of famous streets and their signs.
9. Annoy my brother by acting like a tourist.
10. Stalk some more celebrities.

If any of you have other suggestions, feel free to share them.

you should drive along the pacific coast highway up to malibu, go the beach, and visit Joshua Tree National Park (if you have time, that's kinda far away but I love national parks). just my advice

1. They're tough to spot. Although I did once see Brian Dennehy in sweatpants, eating ribeyes two at a time.
2. No way.
3. Yeah, that thing's longer than you think.
4. Maybe.
5. Yes.
6. Multiple times.
7. See #2.
8. Um, ok.
9. Check.
10. I also once saw Patrick Fugit at the Grove. He's tiny.

Also, Joshua Tree National Park is about 150 miles east of L.A., so if you want to go, you'll need to arrange your own transportation.
Driving up the PCH and making fun of surfers in Malibu is definitely possible.

Go to Pink's Hot Dog stand in Hollywood. It's got great hot dogs, and if you go there late enough at night, you might see someone famous. I saw Lenny Kravitz. Oh yeah, I am cool.
Oh, and it's Disneyland, not world.

Definitely hit up the In-N-Out Burger. I do at least once a week.

Oh, and you could drive nine hours up I-5 to see your favorite former Optimist staffer. :)
