First trip to, like, you know, L.A.

Giving the Hollywood sign a good squeeze.

Las Vegas and Los Angeles are places you have to visit at least once in you life. Here are a few of the 103 pictures I took along with my brother, his wife and her sister, on my second trip out west. We covered a lot of ground. First was Vegas- my second trip there- where we saw Penn & Teller (aMAzing), Neonopolis, The Bellagio, Red Rock, and of course, various other points on the strip. On to Cali: The Mojave Desert, The Pacific Coast, Venice Beach, Sunset Blvd, Hollywood Blvd, Carney's Hot Dogs, Pink's Hot Dogs, The Standard Hotel, The Crab Shack, Beverly Hills, Rodeo Drive. We had a pretty great time. Took the red-eye back. For the record, there are no cabs at JFK airport at 2:45am.





The Mojave desert: toasty.










With the Boy, his wife, and her sister, on the edge of the Pacific Coast, after some killer seafood.












A man and his dog.





On the way to California. Next thing you know, Arnold Schwarzenegger will be elected governor. D'oh!



L.A.... where more than 600 feature films are produced every year. Including crappy ones like this.
