My friend Peter and I went to a garage sale in Hollywood. The person having was the Gossip lady on E! I bought a theater costume book from her. It was a pretty day and I suggested that we go to that famous Hollywood cemetery. I saw a special on HBO about the family that bought it for 350k and cleaned it up. The only thing I knew prior was "Valentino" was buried there. When we got there were two things going on. First was the Day of the Day. The Latinos have party's in the grave yards to celebrate. So there was that going on and the "Art Deco" folks of LA were giving Tours of the famous grave sites and interesting color on the personalities. Each part of the Grave yard had a different dressed up person. The stories were very interesting and they only give tours one day a year near Halloween so we lucked out.
If you ever get to the left coast check it out its worth a go.
