Well
I found my toothbrush, stuffed in a trainer.
As Tris finally woke I was raring to go, eager to start my exploration. As I
opened the curtains I could barely see a thing. It was raining so hard that we
punished ourselves and went to the gym. Great start to a holiday...this is not
a holiday! We took advantage of a free weeks pass and have signed up with the
fake intention of joining after the pass ends. This won't happen.
Then we went for coffee, something I don't think I've done with another guy
before, but we had two lattes and what do two guys high on caffeine do? Go to
the cinema! Still raining.
I got ID'd! I know, to watch a film, ridiculous. I don't think that has happened since I was about
15. We saw The Raid Redemption. A
Japanese film full of incredible martial arts, brutal killings and more
testosterone than Mike Tyson. After that finished we walked straight into The
Hunger Games. Without paying. Sure I felt smug. Don't think I've snuck into a
film since I was 15. This film was alot busier, and that apparently means
EVERYONE around you narrates what is going on as it happens. Jokes are repeated
by ALL audience members. It's like watching a Panto, I considered asking for a
refund, but then thought better of it.
We left the cinema after going in 4hrs ago and the rain was laying off a bit.
Lucky as I was getting to the point of invoicing Arnie due to poor weather. And
the dangerous 'shall we go for a beer' came out of one of our mouths. Four
beers later we came home, sprayed a bit of deodorant and back out. I know we
played alot of pool and did pretty well, ordered some chips which apparently
means a free for all here as some guy leant over and helped himself until I
asked him to stop. A good day and introduction to LA life.
Lesson learnt- be cheeky, it’s not that big of deal to sneak into another film.
Audacity and risk can pay off.
