Grand, Just Grand

So last night Susan and I loaded up a canteen full of cheap red wine and brought along some bread, cheese, salami and olives to snack on at downtown’s California Plaza off of Grand Avenue before enjoying the Grand Performances presentation of China’s Guandong Modern Dance Company (reviewed nicely by Lewis Segal in today’s L.A. Times).
Afterward we walked around the watercourt and the skyscrapers taking pictures, of course, and then opted to stroll up the street around the Disney Concert Hall and through its gardens.

The requisite Flickr photoset is here. Susan’s is over here.
Tonight we venture out into the wilds of Topanga Canyon for a picnic before what sounds to be the Theatricum’s fascinating Transylvanian transformation!

The Militant has seen many versions of the Grand Avenue “Four Corners” shot, including taking his own, but this is the first nighttime version the Militant has seen - nice pic!

Wow, have I known you that long? was my first reaction to your mention of Theatricum. (disregard the fact that I don’t really know you)
Didn’t y’all go last summer, too? If so, that means I’ve been a loyal reader for at least a year now.

Elle, I count you as a loyal reader for TWO years now! Our last visit to the Theatricum was in 2005.
Sasdly, last night’s production of Dracula didn’t live up to expectations.
