I Went Went, Back Back, to Cali Cali pt. 2

Slow Saturday day. I double-dip into LA burgers with a lunchtime trip to Tommy's and In n Out.

In n Out Secret Menu suggestion: "the Briggie"--Double Double, animal style, add pickles and raw onion, hold the lettuce and tomato. Finally, something good from In n Out

Somedays I'll take a Tommy's chiliburger over In n Out anyday

Saturday night I went down to Hollywood for a comedy show that turned out to be, err, pretty not funny BUT Milana Vayntrub (a.k.a. Lily from the AT&T ads) was one of the joke/story tellers so that was kinda cool.

Dipped into a show opening at a gallery before the jokes

The idea of the show was that it was comedians and their best friends telling stories, that's why there's always two people in these pictures. The secret idea of the show was that it was comedians and their friends telling stories without having planned at all what they would say.

Maybe I found a tattoo idea?

Finished off the night with too many tacos at Leo's and a run across the street to try the tacos at Super Gallito

See that guy on the right? Listening to him order tacos was like listening to a poem. I guess you have to take my word for it.

One of the best things about Leo's Tacos is how close it is to SK's Donuts. 

Sunday I drove down to Dana Point to hear Cher give a Father's Day talk at her church and then we ate salads on a lawn overlooking the ocean. That's how I like my beaches to be: lawns.

It was a little windy for an umbrella

Like I said, a little windy

Look at all those sandy suckers

Miscellaneous Orange county charm

Then we drove to San Juan Capistrano for a field trip to the Mission. It was old and rocky and had lots of bells. Also: Very bright and sunny and hot. I got a spectacular forearm sunburn.

Hot as heck but happy I called it an Orange County day and headed back up for San Marino. I was cruising along nicely, approaching Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim stadium when Grandma's car stopped working...pressing the gas, there just wasn't any action. But I had the momentum to cruise to the side of the freeway and even down an off-ramp a bit. BUT thanks to the power of OnStar all I had to do was press a button and then wait FOUR HOURS for a tow truck. FOUR HOURS. I had a book, though. And my camera. And could even see the Disneyland fireworks around hour 3.5. So it could have been worse?

Tow truck trick of the trade: When making your customer wait 4 hours for your services, send the friendliest and most helpful guy you've got, so the customer has to stop being mad and starts being appreciative.
