Black Friday fun

I started Friday as a pseudo shopping day. I bought a little LA guide book Wednesday night that mentioned the boutique district in Santa Monica. I decided to check that out in the morning and while on my way there, I realized that another Frank Gehry building, the Chiat/Day Office, was a few street away. Compared to the Disney Concert Hall it was a little disappointing. Here are a couple pics...



It's not a public building, so I was afraid to go snooping too close. When I saw the building online before I left San Diego, I thought the binoculars was the building, but I guess the building is behind them and the binoculars are a giant facade. Still kinda cool considering Chiat/Day is an advertising firm and a binocular building makes a strong impression.

Stay tuned for more updates on the Promenade and Getty Museum and the rest of my trip.

You should ask to borrow the binoculars then you could see all your friends back in PA. Look I am waving at you. :)
