Griffith Observatory, here we come!

Guess, what?! i'm finally going to check-out the NEW Griffith Observatory. SO exciting!!

The glamorous old films of my youth thrown into memory once again... And more, ahem, recent projects such as The Rocketeer... Paula Abdul's video Rush, Rush and even more truly recent debacles such as Transformers, meh.

I've two very fond memories of this special place: One, as a kid we visited & it felt magical. They used to (i hope maybe it is still there?!) have this machine that made a rocket out of molten plastic. I think i may still have it, Mom?

The second memory is already 8-years-old, from the SC days when writing, recruiting, shooting, printing, editing, scoring and everything else that goes into making a short film was a process i endured every three weeks. I tortured my ever-patient roommate in a film I shot at the observatory. We were renegades, as i never got a permit to shoot there... Ohh, what a rebel.

So here's to shooting stars, alabaster columns and peaceful archways, Griffith Observatory, here we come!

Remember when I didn't get the permit for the pink gun?
And where is that film? It would be so hilarious to watch now.
