    The Ford - From the back

    The Ford may be to The Bowl as a quickie in the elevator is to a rose-petal trail to a big…read morehoneymoon suite bed. The "Cinderella" of venues, it takes the grand, outdoor setting of the Bowl (concrete Jerusalem gates carved into the Hollywood hills) and the intimacy of a backyard party. With 1200 seats (opposed to 17500), you're always under 100 feet from the stage. The seats being steeply raked means you are closer to the stage than the Greek. (The Theater, I mean, not loud, hairy Niko guy next to you). And being tucked into a natural canyon makes the acoustics extra crispy, which made Erasure (10 years ago today) one of my favorite concerts. Side note: I found the 3 tickets on ebay for 99 cents, something that pissed off the guy next to me who paid $200. He Loved to Hate Me. He called me "Biggie Fries" all night, referencing Wendy's Value Meal. Built in 1920 by Christine Wetherill Stevenson, a wealthy heiress who wanted to build a space for her play about he life of Christ "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Calvary". No, it was "Pilgrimage Play" It burnt down in 1929 but rebuilt in 1931 to look like stone, making it feel like an ancient, rediscovered space. Anyway, it only hosted Christ plays (I would have called it "Nailed iT!") until the 1964 separation of church and state opened the venue to all arts. It was named after the county supervisor John Anson Ford, who was a champion of the arts. In the late 80's it was the "West Coast CBGB", hosting Ramones, Social D, X, Chili Peppers and Jane's Addiction. If you need more bands, just use your first three Wordle guesses: Tacos Marry Happy opened for Radio Caulk Barfy. It unveiled a $80 million renovation in 2017, so if it was gorgeous in 2006, I am sure it is Gorgeouser now. In 2019, the LA Phil took over, so now it is the little sister of the Bowl and Disney Concert Hall. In 2020, it had its centennial, marking 100 years since Stevenson first staged a Christ play in that canyon. To celebrate, the partygoers turned wine into pee.

    Sometimes, I forget how much entertainment is available in LA, from theaters to museums to outdoor…read moreexcursions and more. I had previously seen advertisements for The Ford LA through various outlets, but I am frequently reminded of my introversion and often avoid driving through LA traffic. However, my wife wanted to check out the The Natural World of Studio Ghibli, and what a night it was! We have seen nearly all of Miyazaki's creations, but this was our first time watching "Howl's Moving Castle" in an outdoor theater. It was lovely! Fresh air, a few butterflies flying across the projector, stars in the night sky, and the iconic backdrop were some highlights to mention. The Ford is as fun as advertised, and I've already begun recommending it to my friends. This place has history, and you can feel it! Additionally, there isn't a bad seat in the house! We sat in Row P, and when I arrived, I took it all in. There's certainly a bit of magic here. The only negative is the parking. It's stacked parking, so you may end up waiting on other visitors to get to their cars before you can even think about moving. Otherwise, we already have plans to return to The Ford Theater!

    What an amazing show. I tell you what I was very impressed…read moreby this show. The MC was entertaining and very funny. The dancers were great and very talented. The sets where impressive. Now the lighting was incredible. Enhanced the dancers and have it a great vibe. The acts were so sexy, classy, funny, entertaining, and very well choreographed. I had a great time and want to go back. Zeke recommend!!!

    Yesterday we visited the Montalban for The Empire Strips Back, a galactic burlesque show and parody…read moreof the well-loved original Star Wars trilogy (despite the name the storylines were not strictly based on the Empire Strikes back, but featured homages to all three films in the trilogy!) This review is for the show, rather than the venue, which I'll do a separate review for. I purchased VIP tickets for the Fever-run event as a Christmas gift for my significant other, and we both loved it! It was hilarious, and tastefully sexy! The different acts featured a variety of music genres, so there's something for everyone's taste! The show was about 2 hours in length with a 15 minute intermission between the first and second half of the show. VIP tickets got us VIP entry, 2 champagne or other sparkling beverages, and a t-shirt each (our selections are pictured! Also definitely recommend picking these up at the beginning to avoid long lines at the end!) Per google reviews of the show, lines were long for drinks, and merchandise, so to save time, we redeemed both our drinks at the beginning of the show. They also offered a QR code, order ahead option, for merchandise. Neither myself nor my significant other had ever been to a burlesque show before, and this was certainly a fun, and worthwhile, introduction! Tip: there is a 24 hour parking garage adjacent to the Montalban with a max $10 fee for the day!

    I remember I had come across this business when having a Universal annual pass last year. Even…read moreafter the annual pass expired, they still send me emails on being cast as a background actor on Universal City Walk or now, upcoming t.v. shows that they need audiences for. They pay, of course, CA's minimum wage of $10.50/hr., but not sure if it is whole day rate of $84. I guess just go by whatever the email states. Doing some extra gigs myself, not affiliated with this business; these jobs also tend to sometimes throw in a weird overtime like $147 ($84+$63OT), included within the day rate. Cannot wait to work for them! Within the month of December, I remember seeing an email blast regarding a party/get together for all the people they have cast that year. Of course, since I was not in California at the time, I could not attend it.

    I worked with A+ Audiences on Judy Justice in February. I was notified I would receive a survey,…read more(which I did) and upon completing the survey I would receive my payment within the following week. It is now April 27th and I still have not been paid out from the background work I performed. I was also aware another darker appearing Woman of color was not paid for her services, though other more fairer skinned Women of color were. I do not advise working for this company at all. There is no way to contact them, they do not respond and their way of going about said issues is possibly discriminatory.
