Hollywood, Helicopters, and Cops

This is our last peaceful moment of the evening.

A couple weeks ago I went to the Hollywood sign at midnight

and am just now posting this picture. Yes, I know it is a little

late, but whatever. We brought beer in a cooler (actually it

was a Physical Therapy ice bag that belonged to my friend

James and he couldn't have known that he would lose it b/c

he would run from cops later that night--- sorry for your

loss James). After the 45 minute hike to the top we climb the

fence and loiter on the "H" of the Hollywood sign. For those

of you who don't know... this is forbidden. As you can see

from the photo above I am wearing shorts and flat slip-on

shoes, none of my friends took the time to tell me the plan for

the night (thanks guys, now I'm glad James lost his ice bag),

so I was completely unprepared.

Anyways long story short... we trip a sensor, helicopter is

patroling area, spot light looks for us, we run, Cop in jeep

comes, we hide, a friend (Chris) unintentially becomes a

diversion, coast is clear we run down hill, we look for Chris

but he is already down the hill (he fell down the Hollywood

Hill, that was the diversion), we luckily escape the police

and eat wet burritos in rejoice!
