Bumping this for my own reference. We're going to Forest Lawn & Griffith on our 1st day in Anaheim. How close to the hollywood sign can you get without having to hike?
He did a similar Halloween concert before with all of his Tim Burton music. I believe it got a very good review on Mousetalgia, so I'd bet this one would be very worth going to.In case anyone will be in Los Angeles on Halloween, besides residents, Danny Elfman will be performing as Jack Skellington at the Hollywood Bowl for a Nightmare Before Christmas show on Halloween night. There will be other singers performing songs from the soundtrack. The venue will be dressed up to look like the film, and guests are encouraged to dress up as characters not only from Nightmare, but from those of Tim Burton's other films as well. Elfman will perform with a live orchestra. I believe there will be a pre-sale tomorrow, and the regular sale will start this Friday.

I will pull money from my savings to go to this show. This would make for an awesome Halloween.

I would stay on the 101. It eats up a lot of time and there isn’t a whole lot to see. The AF base takes up most of the good stuff and is off limits.
Really enjoyed exploring through this thread! Our DL/DCA trip is -60 days and counting. This trip was an afterthought/add-on to our summer vacay and we'll only be there a few days to do the parks. The day we depart for home (from SNA at 3pm) we thought we'd try to head to one of the beaches within a close enough driving distance and have lunch before our flight. My travel companion has never been to Cali before and wanted to see the Pacific and eat some seafood, if time allows. Any recommendations from you locals? I noticed the post about Crystal Cove and had actually been considering there, but would really appreciate any other suggestions. Would like to be directly on the beach if possible. Thanks!
Also down by the Egyptian is the Pig & Fife, I think I got the name right. It's an old Hollywood hang out with beautiful wood and I think its supposed to be haunted.
Here's the aerial view, showing proximity to the beach. Also note, the slightly more permanent tent covering for the deck, rather than the umbrellas. I'm not sure if it comes down in the summer or not.
I have a question regarding LA area traffic. On July 6th (Wednesday), I have a free day in the LA area. I have several attractions that I'm trying to decide between (USH, Getty, Tar Pits, a studio tour, Science Center etc.), and how this question is answered will influence what attraction(s) I do.
I'm starting the 6th near Santa Clarita, and I am staying in San Diego that night. Around what time should I start to head for San Diego? What time do I need to avoid being on the road if I want to stay away from rush hour traffic?
What's your actual timing like. Are you waking up in Santa Clarita, ready to go first thing in the morning? Are you trying to get to San Diego by any specific time? ( i.e. If you're just going to check into your hotel and hit the sack, it would be best to go down in the late evening.) Where are you staying in SD?
I would be leaving around 8 or 9 AM from Santa Clarita, probably. The hotel in San Diego is near Sea World. The only thing I need to do in SD that day/night is check in to the hotel.
If anyone was planning on taking taking Highway 1 between Morro Bay and Monterrey this summer, it's not happening. Current conditions in Big Sur.
