Star date 9/03. Haven’t seen as many stars as tabloids have led me to believe I would.

Settled in, more or less. Starting to feel at home more and more each day as we decide on our favorite local coffee shop, corner store, etc. And I find myself becoming more and more confident using the car horn. At first, I was slightly terrified I would get shot if I honked at anyone. Now I have purchased several of my own guns and feel far more confident. Actually, side note, I have a very funny story about handguns and The Stanley Park pitch n putt. Remind me to tell you next time you see me.

We went and saw some live music the other night and then afterwards, accidentally wound up at a very gay bar on Santa Monica Blvd. (we’re new here, we’re learning as we go). I say “very gay” because we were told at one point in the night (after being asked “What the hell are you doing here?”) that it wasn’t just a hanging out sort of gay bar, but rather the kind where everyone goes home with someone at the end of the night gay bar. I just thought everyone was really friendly! Even still, we had a very fun time, and Leila recognized Thom Filicia, the interior designer guy from “Queer Eye for the Straight Guy.” (apparently he’s on Oprah sometimes now, too) I’ve only seen the show dozens of times because it happened to be on in the background while I was building things out of wood and studying sport statistics, but Leila’s a very big fan. So she introduced herself and we ended up talking to him for an hour. Very nice man. Interesting celebrity fact: his favorite movie is “Norbitt.” I was hesitant to judge him too harshly, as mine is “Rudy.” I tear up just thinking about it.

All for now. Show next week and all sorts of action this week. Until next time…

So, we’re down in Hollywood for the next little while playing some shows and meeting some people and taking the necessary steps to conquer America… as you do.

We’ll be blogging our adventures here, so check in every now and then to see what’s happening.

We loaded up the car (I should really get an honorary degree in engineering for the way I packed all our stuff into our little Toyota Corolla) threw the dog in the back (gently placed him, is really what I mean) and headed south. Took a few days stopping in Eugene OR and San Francisco. Ate as much Rice-a-Roni as we could and continued south on the I5. Beautiful countryside. For miles and miles south of San Fran it’s just these beautiful rolling green hills. It looks exactly like Super Mario World. I just wanted to pull over and run around in them. Arrived in Hollywood to sunshine. Hell Yeah!

We’re apparently staying right in the heart of paparazzi-ville. This poses two opportunities. One is to get dressed up, head out and get in the background of as many paparazzi photos as possible, leading to monstrous fame by sheer osmosis. Two is to give our digital camera a bit of a workout and maybe sell some shots to TMZ for enough money to finance our next record. This really is the land of opportunity.

We’ll keep you posted on the goings on. Hope everyone is well.

Keep it real,
