My Arrival & Meeting With Mr. Eyesner

My Host Is: Jim B aka Tikiyaki Sr.

Next: Chinatown "Freek"

I was greeted by Tikiyaki Jr. at the Mailbox when I arrived. Instant friends!
(Bud and Tikiyaki aka Tiki Jr will be travelling together from now on.)

Tikiyaki Jr and I meet with Buddah in the Tikiyaki front Zen Garden to get our chi together and reflect before continuing on our journey.

Buddah blessed us with good luck for the long road ahead, and advised Tikiyaki Jr to protect me and bring much aloha on the trip.

First Stop...Disney Studios, Burbank. I went in for an audition, but was told that Disney already has 7 other guys with a "similar look". (LMAO)

"Sorry Bud" Mr. Eyesner told me, "Grumpy is still upset that The Seven Dwarves didn't get their own series, Hollywood is full of broken dreams. We will call you if any thing opens up."

Not to worry, I have "places to go and people to see"....

Hollywood and Vine...The Capitol Records Building...Home of the Beatles and Sinatra.

Tony, this one's for you...Me and Tiki Jr at Motley Crue star on the walk of fame. GIRLS GIRLS GIRLS !!!! (Thanks Bud...I saw the Girls Girls Girls tour. Tommy Lee and his spinning drum set over the audience was awesome. Five Years Dead & Save Our Souls are my favorite Crue tunes!)

Horray for Hollywood!!! Tiki Jr and I on Beachwood Canyon with the famous Hollywood Sign in back. Foreign tourists taking pics in background. They wanted my autograph, but I was still upset about
the Disney Audition, and told them "sorry, no autographs"...

They uttered something (probably bad) in german and skulked away. (LOL)

Here we are after a hard day in Hollyweird. Tikiyaki Jr offered me the best, and most comfortable, seat in the house, the STEREO EGG CHAIR.

Some Martin Denny on the stereo and Martinis for all....more to come.
