Today we went to Scoops Ahoy.  One of the local Baskin Robbins was transformed into a Scoops Ahoy.  We waited in line for about 4 hours.  It was hot and normally I wouldn't wait in line for something like that.  However it was Scoops Ahoy and I couldn't pass up the photo ops.  It was my wife, son, daughter and daughter-in-law and we actually had a good time hanging out.  This is my son and his wife posing with their cones.  This is something I saw today.

Day 2973 - Solar Powered Tiki Head - 07.12.19

When we were in Arizona we picked up these tiki heads.  The eyes light up at night.  They are solar powered.  They were on clearance at a Fry's grocery store.  We have two in front of our house, one on each side of our steps.  This is the one one the left.  This is something I saw today.

Day 2971 - "The Secret Invasion" and "Darby's Rangers" - 07.10.19

Three nights in a row at the New Beverly and tonight's excursion was interesting.  We started off with "The Secret Invasion" which was a Roger Corman war picture.  It was a basic men on a mission picture.  I was really interested in seeing "Darby's Rangers" which is a rare James Garner film.  I love James Garner.  The film print was a 16 mm print and it kept getting jammed up and burning.  After about 5 times, they had to cancel the screening.  I was really bummed because we were getting near the end, but it just wasn't going to happen.  I think we had about one more reel to go.  With all the delays we didn't get out until after midnight and we didn't even finish the movie.  There weren't that many people who stuck around for the second feature and the theater gave us all movie passes since we weren't able to finish to film.  So that is something I saw today.

Day 2970 - "Any Gun Can Play" and "Wicked, Wicked" - 07.09.19

Tonight was another late night at the New Beverly.  This first film was "Any Gun Can Play" an enjoyable Spaghetti western.  It had a great score by Francesco De Masi.  The second film "Wicked, Wicked" was the real gem.  It was a gimmick film that was for the most part presented entirely in split screen.  It was great to see it in the theater with an audience.  There was some interesting visual gags based on the split screen and they played great with an audience.  This is something I saw today.

Day 2969 - "Murderers' Row" and "Kitten With A Whip" - 07.08.19

Tonight I saw the Dean Martin classic "Murderers' Row" and "Kitten With A Whip".  Both films were excellent.  I've seen "Murderers Row" at the New Bev before.  It costars Sharon Tate who is adorable in the film.  The second picture was a very early Ann-Margret black and white film affair.  It was pretty dark and twisted.  The photography was gorgeous.  This was something I saw today.

Day 2968 - Waffle House - 07.07.19

This morning we ate at a Waffle House on our way back to Burbank.  We had never eaten at one before.  It was yummy.  This was something I saw today.

Day 2956 - "The Love God" Poster - 06.25.19

Tonight's double feature at the New Beverly was fantastic.  The evening started with "There's A Girl In My Soup" which was a very funny Goldie Hawn and Peter Sellers vehicle.  Goldie was funny and absolutely adorable.  Sellers was brilliant as usual.  The second feature was Don Knotts in "The Love God?"  This crazy film cast Don and a guy who accidentally becomes the head of a pornography publishing empire.  It was Don's usual persona, but thrown into a very adult sex comedy.  It was a strange and hilarious juxtaposition.  I don't know which movie I liked more.  It was a great night for my wife and me.  This was something I saw today.

Day 2955 - U.S. Pole Company - 06.24.19

This is a pole at work.  As you can see from this label it is from the U.S. Pole Company.  This is something I saw today.

Day 2954 - Casper Blu-Ray - 06.23.19

I recently picked up Casper really cheap.  I had not seen the movie in many, many years and so I picked it up thinking it would be fun to revisit.  The last time I would have watched it would have been on VHS.  I'm sure we still have the tape packed away somewhere.  We watched it this afternoon and it was fun.  Christina Ricci was great in it.  The FX are very 90's, but that was okay.  This was something I saw today.

Day 2953 - Bailen at the Troubadour - 06.22.19

We liked Bailen so much earlier this week that we went and saw them this evening at the Troubadour.  The Troubadour is my favorite venue in LA.  I love the intimate setting.  This was a great way to see this group.  We had a great time.  This is Julia Bailen the  younger sister of the group.  She was accompanied by her two brothers.  They had great harmonies which were reminiscent of Fleetwood Mac at times.  They sounded great.  This is something I saw today.

Day 2952 - 6A Sign - 06.21.19

This is the building sign above the entrance to the building in which I work.  This is something I saw today.

Day 2951 - "Lady In Cement" and "Pretty Poison" Double Feature - 06.20.19

It has been a busy week.  My wife and I went and saw a great double feature at the New Beverly.  "Lady in Cement" was a great Sinatra detective flick and Pretty Poison as a crazy Anthony Perkins and Tuesday Weld film.  "Pretty Poison" has been on my radar for a little while now as a film I needed to see and it did not disappoint.  Something that was cool to learn was that this double feature is how the films originally played together in drive-ins.  This is something I saw today.

Day 2950 - Saga Volume One - 06.19.19

Someone at work brought in their collection of Saga graphic novels for me and my office mate to read.  We have them on our bookshelf.  This is volume one.  This is something I saw today.

Day 2946 - "The Green Slime" and "Journey To The Far Side Of The Sun" - 06.15.19

Today was a whirlwind.  I saw "The Green Slime" at 2PM with my wife and Daughter.  Then we went to see the Cubs beat the Dodgers.  I then dropped the family off at home and I went back to the New Beverly to watch "Journey to the Far Side Of The Sun" at Midnight.  This is a movie I saw one summer at a kiddie matinee.  There is a scene where a guy takes out a glass eye that has a camera in it and that scene stuck with me for years.  It was only a couple years ago when I figured out what that film was.  So when it showed up as a midnight movie I had to go.  There were not very many people in the theater, but I still loved that I was seeing it again on the big screen.  What a day.  this is something I saw today.

Day 2945 - No Smoking - 06.14.19

This is a no smoking sign at work.  This is something I saw today.

Day 2944 - "The Wrecking Crew" and "Hammerhead" - 06.13.19

Great spy double feature this evening.  "The Wrecking Crew" is a great Dean Martin Matt Helm flick.  I've scene it before at the New Bev, but it was great again.  It also has Sharon Tate and she is a delight.  I wish I could find a soundtrack for this, because the Dean Martin transition songs are priceless.  If you ever have a chance to catch this one, do yourself a favor.  This is something I saw today.

Day 2943 - Pipes - 06.12.19

These are pipes on the side of the parking garage at work.  This is something I saw today.

Day 2942 - "Knife + Heart" and "Cruising" - 06.11.19

I watch a great double feature tonight.  "Knife + Heart" as an interesting new new movie and "Cruising" was really great.  I had scene it once before about twenty years ago on video.  I thought it was okay then, but seeing it now I found it quite great.  Seeing something on the big screen really is a whole different ballgame.  This is something I saw today.

Day 2941 - Bike Seat - 06.10.19

This is a bike seat at work.  This is something I saw today.
