A Handful of Shenanigans - California Edition

California, 2007
That brief period where I enjoyed smoothies from local vendors, shopped the farmers' market, and received my first (and possibly last) tan in life on Zuma beach. I visited Six Flags and walked the entirety of Disneyland in high-heeled sandals (do not recommend). I ate dinner at the amazing Stinking Rose and met up with AveMarie for a movie date night near Alfred Hitchcock's grave in Hollywood Forever Cemetery. I was with Dracona while she received her first tattoo, and did not receive one of my own because the artist didn't understand the design I wanted.

I also attended the Hollywood red carpet premier of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix...If by "attended" you mean slithered through the crowd from the Kodak Theater parking garage to Grauman's Chinese Theater and plastered myself against the barricades. I was up close for the arrival of the three leads, and Daniel Radcliffe was surprisingly smoldering (sexily) for his photos. That sounds a bit weird, because I always think of Dan Radcliffe, Rupert Grint and Emma Watson as children, but they're not much younger than me. Finally, because I was there and it was there, I slipped through a gap to step onto the red carpet. Security was quick to escort me away - thankfully only back behind the barriers - but for one brief moment, I, Aeroaux, stood upon a true red carpet in Hollywood. *Bow*
