So wrong yet so hillarious! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fN1dPtEph2U

We were wondering the same thing, if it'd been testing. We didn't see it run once the whole time we were there. We were also searching for the anything that looks like it would be shooting out flames and we weren't able to see anything. When we saw the flat bed rolling in we actually thought it might be pieces of the fire effects but as we got closer we saw it was the train.

I was at the park today and as we were leaving they had a gate that runs along side X open and a big rig with a flat bed was rolling in. It had pieces of a train. I was able to see the big gray circles, the parts were semi covered. My boyfriend tried to get a picture but by the time he got the camera out all he was able to get was the back of the truck.

Bring my own but there's been times that I've left it at home and in those cases I go paper.

Nice! I got to see the debut of this stage show at coachella earlier that year. IT WAS AMAZING! It was epic at coachella too man, they opened with Robot Rock as well. Tons of fun that night...and just before Daft Punk we saw Depeche Mode but Daft Punk blew them away.

WOW!!! This picture brings back so many memories! I've been to this park when i was 8. We went to visit my family in Mexico and we went here. I got on it with my older sisters, as well as the round-up and one of those carnival parachute/umbrella rides. The seats hang and it goes up at an angle just like the round-up. I don't have too many memories other than those 3 rides and getting a soda and being upset because the soda was pour out of the glass bottle and into a plastic sandwich bag with a straw inserted. And then I remember the big fountain thing outside of the park I believe across the street. My mom has pictures of us there, I'll have to ask her if she still has them. Also my parents and aunt have been on it. Both my parents lived in Mexico until they were in their mid 20s. When they were in their late teens they went to this park on a double date with my aunt and some guy she was dating at the time. My aunt forced my mom on, my mom was too scared to get on but she eventually gave in and they all got on. Well apparently after the first drop my mom said she saw my aunts head just flopping around and she had passed out! Haha, my mom and dad and the guy she was dating spent the ride holding my aunt up. She came to after the ride. Ever since my aunt is deathly afraid of roller coasters...even Big Thunder at Disneyland. Even when she see's coaster footage on TV she starts getting all tense and the 'AYE DIOS!'s start coming out of her mouth. Its really funny.

Dancer In The Dark 11/10 Though I've seen this movie tons of times I can't get enough of it. It's one of thee most beautiful/saddest movies I've seen so far. The cinematography is stunning! It's one of the saddest movies I've ever seen. I'm a mess at the end every time I watch it. It's on the same level of greatness as Amelie, artisticly speaking. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SssA39wnS5k

I'm gearing up for Coachella this weekend and I was watching past performances. This (Fischerspooner) was one of my favorite performances in '04 even though I'd seen them earlier that year. There's some language at the beginning but not during the song.

Kelly Watch The Stars by Air (This song always reminds me of a 70's roller-disco for some reason. I picutre guys skating backwards in polyester.)

Künstliche Welten by Wolfsheim

Gonna have to disagree... I think THIS is hotter! LOL He's such an ass! But he's a very hot ass!

Big Thunder Mountain last friday.

Peter Davies' video was my favorite out of this new bunch.

A Forest by The Cure

And may I add they in no way is she worth a 20 minute wait! Not even with a Fast Pass?

Haha thanks. yeah, I was pretty bad at spotting them too but over the years friends and I would go to the park specifically looking for hidden mickeys. The lightsabers looked pretty cool. I'm not a huge Star Wars fan but some of the lightsabers I was seeing around the park were very cool, specifically the double-sided ones! It almost made me want to buy one. They aslo had clear ones with a light at the base that would then change it from clear to green or whatever color you chose.

MAJOR EDIT** I obviously uploaded my pictures backwards so to view the report in the proper order start at the bottom and work up. I'm super sorry for the inconvenience. So here it is, my first TR. We went to Disneyland and California Adventure on Friday April 18th. We arrived around 2pm, the park seemed extremely crowded and yet the lines somehow weren't all that bad. We had a really good time and I was able to get some decent pictures. We got on Calfornia Screamin' and I thougth we were going to be part of another Disney accident. We rolled out of the station and around the corner to the launch area. As we came around there was already another train in front of us. I know the censors would prevent us from crashing but as we all know it's a crash has happened before. We sat there is it counted down to launch and as the orange train took off our train lunged forward an inch but the brakes stopped us and kept us in place. As we came through the bunny hops towards the end an empty purple train rolled by above making horrible squeeking noises. As we exited all trains stopped as they removed the purple train from the tracks. Splash Mountain was great as always, we got on as the sun was setting. We got on with some really big people and got soaked! We sat in the back and the wave of water was so big that the water was hitting to top of the tunnel and just coming down on top of us. Then as the boat curved it felt as if someone through a bucket of water onto the whole left side of my body. Even though we got a little more wet than expected we had a blast. After we stood at the bridge overlooking the splashdown area and watched other heavy boats get soaked. We finally got to see the new upgrades on Fantasmic! which were pretty cool, really nice lighting effects...or as the lady next to us said to her husband, "The lighting effects are orgasmic!' or so we thought she said. Regardless it made me and my boyfriend giggle like school girls everytime we saw a big effect happen imagining her orgasmic squeells of joy. Enough talk, here are the pictures. I even threw in a couple of Hidden Mickeys for you hidden Mickey fans. Just after I picked Corey up. Finally on the freeway. The park is just 25 min from here, about 30 min from my house. Eating on the go. Looking out towards Cal Poly Pomona from the top tier of the Kellog Interchange on the 57. Sandwhich surgery on the freeway. What an unfortunate name for the company. I thought ICP and all that popped into my head was that HORRIBLE HORRIBLE BAND! No lines to get through security. And yet a pretty big line to get into California Adventure. Back at Disneyland finally. It'd been a couple of months since we'd last been. Nice sized crowds met us over in the New Orleans Square/Frontierland side of the park. ...and yet a beautiful day. Pirates had a busier than normal line. The line for Thunder Mountain said 25 min. If you look along the trees on the right hand side of the crowd you can see the HUGE line that disappears into the back of the picture. Crazy crowded to say the least. A very crowded Main Street. Hollywood Backlot fairly busy. I mention TPR and this is what I get. The gay robot look-a-like furnace sang to us in a awkward tone as we waited in line for Tower of Terror. (If you haven't seen Gay Robot youtube Gay Robot Pilot...it's comedy gold!) On the same schedule as Six Flags MM. Almost time for Screamin'. Sit in the front for some good air time as you crest the first hill. Crash Coaster Signage for the California Food and Wine Festival. Demo area. One of the many food demonstrations going on in the resort right now. Just after she demonstrated how to properly throw a pie. My dyslexic friend insisted we stay for at least one song. Hidden Micky #1 on the ground in Sunshine Plaza The gravity defying Welcome Center booth. Tiny Golden Gate. I wonder if there's tiny suicide jumpers? Hidden Micky #2 in line for Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters My Buzz score. Not as high as I usually score but it's been a while. New! This is in the shop as you exit Star Tours. You can make double sided light sabers The building stations. Take note of the horrible new costumes. They look like they've been painting all day then went outside and got pooped on by giant birds. Really pretty flowers lined the Matterhorn queue. I hear Spiral Butt is really nice this time of the year. The Rivers of America have sprung a leak. Splash Mountain time! Only a 5 minute wait thanks to the magic of Fast Passes. One eyed snake! The snake from Fantasmic peaked out at us from the island. We watched other people get soaked for a good hour before moving on. You can't tell but we were soaked. Splash Mountain is tied with Space Mountain for second best ride in the park. The best ride in the park! Cool dusk shot! ...and another one Your Mom only has a 20 min line! Score! (horrible photoshop) Tea Cups of Doom! A snazzy Fantasyland night shot. Staking out a spot for Fantasmic...ARMLESS! Fantasmic shot. End of the night and the crowds head home. Castle shot with Partners statue Our chariot has arrived. Escalors of doom! Parking structure bathrooms - My friend who's a cast member said a large man was suctioned onto the toilet when it flushed automaticlly. Finally back at my dirty car ready to go home.

Absolute all time favorite is The Cure! Been a fan for 21 years now. I've seen them 14 times which is pretty good considering they've only toured the U.S. 6 times since I got into them back in 1987. I've got 5 more shows lined up for next month, I CAN'T WAIT! That being said other tops are as follows: Goddesses: Siouxsie Sioux of Siouxsie & The Banshees and The Creatures Bjork in all 3 of her bands. She's tiny and odd but absolutely amazing with an amazing voice. Elizabeth Fraser of Cocteau Twins Lisa Gerrard of Dead Can Dance other bands I hold in very high regards(essentially these bands can do no wrong...for the most part): Depeche Mode Joy Division Bauhaus The Smiths Oingo Boingo The B-52's The Cramps Oasis Stone Roses Ride Belle & Sebastian (pre 'Dear Catastrophe Waitress') The Jesus & Mary Chain Christian Death (with Rozz Williams only) Virgin Prunes The Cranes Rudimentary Peni Skinny Puppy Neutral Milk Hotel Pulp (London) Suede Stereolab Massive Attack Portishead Placebo Pixies Love And Rockets Slowdive Crass A//Political Poison Girls Le Tigre/Bikini Kill Miss Kitten Fischerspooner Public Enemy Desmond Dekker Phyliss Dillon Madness Violent Femmes Kraftwerk Felix Da Housecat Nina Hagen Flux of Pink Indians VNV Nation Zounds Buzzcocks O.M.D earlier Prince Radiohead (I've seen them a few times, the best show was at The Wiltern in LA back in 1997 when they were touring for OK Computer. However, I've grown tired of their pretentious fans that think they are Gods gift to man-kind, they're good but not that good. My favorite album is a probably The Bends followed by OK Computer. Kid A was swell but thats about the time fans started to become annoying. It is also about the time that I started my campaign of indifference towards the band due to fans. Hail To The Thief not so great. I got In Rainbows on first day of the download but have yet to listen to it.) Daft Punk is an amazing live band. Saw them in the late 90s as well as a couple years back. Great live show, not as great in the car.
