Photo TR: Mike Goes to the El Capitan Theater!

[GMAN962]

Hey everyone!

 

Our youth group went on a group trip to the El Capitan Theater in Hollywood yesterday for Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End. We had a really great time! I'll let the pictures, and side stories in between tell the story...

 

Ok...so there was going to be a costume contest (Which we never actually had), so I decided to dress up as a Ninja Pirate! (Yes, there is now such a thing)

 

Yes, that IS an inflatable parrot.

 

Ok...I had to have SOME pirate stuff on, because if I didn't I wouldn't be allowed on the bus.

 

Yay! Those are our tickets! We're goin' to Hollywood! (although yes, it really isn't a great place.)

 

And here we are...in the Church parking lot. Only some of our awesome friends that came!

 

We had to wait out there a bit, but we got there on time, saw the movie, it's all good.

 

...and yes, people liked the costume. Although most of the people just liked the parrot!

 

One guy dressed up as Davey Jones. He actually had a great costume!

 

Ok...here we are on our way there in the Deathbus4000+. We managed to stay alive this time...

 

So we finally arrive at Hollywood and Highland...we ate dinner there. On the way in there while we were walking, we saw some dumpster, and a puddle by it...which was lime green....and foamy...

 

Ate over here, right across from KROQ. I had Mongolian food. It was gooood.

 

Dinner.

 

Ok...so we're getting our dinner, and our Hungarian friend likes his food SPICY. VERY SPICY!!!!

 

The guy asks "How hot would you like it?"

 

...My friend said something along the lines of..."I want it burn my lips off spicy! I want it so spicy that I want to sweat tears out of my-" He stopped there, but you can fill in the blanks, right? Right.

 

Anyway, we ate our dinner, and all...then.

 

We raided and pillaged KROQ. I totally owned...I got to go Ninja on those guys.

 

In all seriousness, I think this picture is nice. Even if I'm playing the creepy photographer guy!

 

And there it is; the El Capitan!

 

ZOMG LIEK TEH XTREME Z000M!!! (All spelling mistakes in that caption were intentional.)

 

Ok...so we were still waiting to get in line at the theater, so we went downstairs and looked around. I saw some guy in an Elmo costume, and sent it to my friend. When she got it, she said she was down there earlier, and she got chased by Spongebob!

 

So then we waited in line for a while for the movie...

 

...and waited...

 

...and waited...

 

...and waited...

 

...and talked to our friends...

 

...and then FINALLY, we got in.

 

*WARNING* *BLURRY PHOTOS AHEAD*

 

OMG THIS PLACE IS NICE!

 

Really blurry

 

...Ok, lets try this again.

 

Much better.

 

The guy was extremely talented. I really knew how to play the organ. He was playing Pirate themed songs, of course, but that's fine. He was great.

 

OH MY GOSH! HE'S SINKING INTO THE FLOOR! NOOOOOOO!!!!!

 

Ok...so they had an awesome pre-show...and then...we watched the movie!

 

The movie itself was great. I really enjoyed it. They had an EPIC battle at the end...

 

One piece of advice; stay after the credits. There's something there.

 

After the movie, on the bus ride home, we were driving through Hollywood, and we decided to have a contest on how many prostitute-looking people we can spot out. Our friend won...

 

Anyway, thanks for reading!

Yeah, that was a great trip... Although the Mongolian food wasn't so great.

Ohh looks like a great time. Me and my brother were actually thinking of going to see pirates at the el capitan too . I've got to go when they have another big movie there.
