NEVERWOOD HIGH SAYS "GO TAKE A HIKE"

Tuesday, December 1, 2009

Vista Street Entrance to Runyon CanyonMost mornings begin with an alarm clock, a Mom/Dad saying "wake up" or a ray of warm sunlight kissing your cheek. The smell of coffee or toast slithering its way in the air with a destination to your room. To be followed by the sound of bacon sizzling, a morning news caster or a cereal box popping open.

That's the norm in the morn.

But, for those of us who reside in Los Angeles aka: the 310, the 323 and yes the 818 area codes. We are blessed to have a little place called Runyon Canyon. Hard to imagine your local Hollywood player jogging up a hill, your favorite starlet glistening with sweat and your typical Beverly Hills Mom gabbing on her cell phone while pushing a stroller up the side of a mountain.

A place where you hear the best conversations in passing. You enter the worlds of so many Angelenos as they hike past you and vice versa. Scripts, auditions, lovers, ex-Lovers, dreams, diet, fear, self improvement and lets not forget the most talked about, life's lil opportunities.

This magic mountain holds the tales of so many that came, saw and dreamt. Most climb their way to the top and others never make it because they become distracted by the beauty of it all - a bit symbolic of the city it overlooks.

Though all are lives have different paved or unpaved paths destined for us, those in the city of Angels all seem to end up at one point in their lives on a path at Runyon Canyon.

NOBODY WALKS IN LA... UNLESS IT'S FOR A GOOD CAUSE

Monday, October 12, 2009

Always wanted to plan a trip to Los Angeles, but just haven't been able to get around to it. Check out this cool video, filmed in stop motion for quick tour. The song is buy an artist named "Working for a Nuclear Free City" and the song is called "Asleep at the Wheel."

Anyone residing in the Los Angeles area, can honestly tell you that nobody walks in LA. Which is why the traffic can often be a nightmare and the smoke blown in the air is more common than Angeleno's blowing smoke up each others...

well you know.

BUT, I do love that one day out of the year everyone leaves behind their Range Rovers and BMW's to walk in the AIDS Walk. The 25th Annual AIDS Walk Los Angeles will take place on Sunday, October 18, 2009 in beautiful West Hollywood. The AIDS Walk begins and ends in West Hollywood Park at San Vicente Boulevard, between Melrose Avenue and Santa Monica Boulevard.

To find out more info how you can sponsor a walker, donate or enter the walk yourself, CLICK HERE.

THE CITY OF ANGELS IS BURNING LIKE HELL

Monday, August 31, 2009

Drivers get heated over the traffic in Los Angeles

Check out these two time lapsed videos taken from Baldwin Hills Scenic Overlook State Park in Culver City. Smoke is from the "Station Fire" near La Cañada Flintridge, CA. At the time of this time lapse the fire was completely out of control.

It looks like an atomic bomb went off, making it a bit hard to breath here and totally adding to the overcast effect of my pool side lounging. Grrrrrr.

and to think...I totally thought Paris was burning *cough*

MEET A WINNER OF MICHAEL JACKSON'S GOLDEN TICKET

Monday, July 6, 2009

Police in Los Angeles have already started bracing for HUGE crowds expected to gather tomorrow for the public memorial service for Michael Jackson.

It is the hottest ticket in the world, the Michael Jackson memorial service and the guest list is coming together. NeverWood High has learned possible performers includes Stevie Wonder, Mariah Carey, Justin Timberlake, Lionel Richie, Jennifer Hudson. Sources say Diana Ross will attend the services as well.

The CEO of AEG told NBC, "We've never seen anything like this. You have the potential of a billion people watching and certainly hundreds of thousands of people that will be in and around the district."

1.6 million people registered for tickets online. But organizer are only giving out just about 17,000 of them. An email notification went out to all of the winner Sunday night. Congratulations it says from there you enter a special code and download the ticket.

MTV Shows

L.A.P.D. are urging the ticket less to stay away, up to 750,000 people are expected to ignore the warning and show up anyways.

Meet teenager, Micael Soleta who dreamed about seeing Michael Jackson perform on stage and was never able to obtain tickets. NOW, Soleta, 19 will be able to pay tribute to the late singer as a winner of the infamous tickets around the world. The California native was one of the 8,750 people to successfully obtain tickets for the public memorial taking place at Staples Center on Tuesday.

"I can't believe I'm actually going," Soleta told MTV News not long after he was notified via e-mail, at approximately 6 p.m. PT on Sunday. "Because for most of my life, I always wanted to go to a Michael Jackson concert. And I realized his last tour would be in London, so I wasn't going to that. I was pretty bummed about that, actually. So this is the only way I can be close to him." Soleta, will be traveling from Fairfield, California, approximately 50 miles north of San Francisco, to see the proceedings.

The odds of securing a ticket were estimated at 1 to 182, according to a release sent out by Jackson family reps over the weekend. "I just printed my voucher" Solet Tweeted. "I'm still in shock I was selected."

Some of the people who have already one their tickets are now putting them on ebay for $15,000 and up.

Congrats to all those who were selected to attend. This event will definitely be a time to remember a Legend and take part in celebration talked about around the world.

I will for sure be paying my respects and watching from home.
