Hollywood

Tonight I went to this club in Hollywood called The Highlands. It’s located on the corner of Hollywood Boulevard and Highland Avenue – just down the street from the Kodak Theater where red carpet is laid for the Oscars each year.

When I arrived at the club, I didn’t enter alone.

You see, we had spent the entire afternoon together playing at the beach and when I decided that I wasn’t ready to go back to Riverside, we headed up the 101 towards Hollywood.
It seemed like a good idea, but once we found parking, I started to wonder if I was making some sort of mistake that I’d later regret. I snuck in a quick phone conversation with my friend Lisa and she assured me that it would be okay.

To be honest, I wanted to leave “him” at the car. I didn’t want people to see us together on the streets of Hollywood, but it didn’t appear that I had much of a choice. If I left him at the car he wouldn’t be there when I returned.

So we walked the stars together. And everyone kept staring at us – especially men. It probably didn’t help that I was wearing high heels. I’m not one to get embarrassed, and I wasn’t, but I did feel awkward. Pretty much anything goes in Hollywood, but we were pushing even Hollywood's limits – especially when we hopped on the escalators to get the 4th floor.

I was relieved once we were inside the club because that’s when I was finally able to drop him. And really I did. I left him hanging at the coat room and joined my friends Joy and Erica out on the floor. Of course, I didn't leave him there; I made sure to pick him up on my way out. After all, it’s my surfboard that we’re talking about. :)

I'll be back with something different.
Or perhaps I'll decide to repost the same.
