Tuesday, October 14, 2008 – Hollywood Lies

Up on Hollywood Boulevard this looked promising –

Ah, down the way, it seems Jesus was coming –

If you want to know more, across the street, drop a quarter in the slot and ask your questions –

Just to the left, you could turn to the past –

Or you could ask a local –

Drat – there was no special event, but in two days they would be filming Life, right here.
