So glad you are enjoying our town.
It was a great to meet you, and Dive, and Laz.
I just thought of something to, if you go back to Hollywood by Amoeba at Sunset and LaBrea is the old A&M building. Last time I went by it was Jim Henson Productions and where the A&M sign was ia now a Kermit the Frog sign. I am sure Meg knows where it is.
I can't remember when exactly it was, but when they sold A&M someone climbed to the top of that sign and wrapped a black band around it. It was up for a few hours until someone had to take it down. If you could find a picture of that sign with the band around it that would be great for the wikki page. I know when it happened that day it was all over the press.
Also of course the Capitol Records building nearby with John Lennon's and George Harrison's star out it front.
A lot of history in that A&M building. I think it originally was Charlie Chaplin's studio.
Anyway, please come to LA again!!!
Have we got touchdown
