Ruel, Homero and Jose at the Friday night performance

When you live in Los Angeles, you never run out of fun things to do. That’s especially true if you live downtown. One of the things I’d been looking forward to was Shakespeare L.A.’s outdoor productions.  In past years, they’ve been staged in Pershing Square, but more recently they’ve migrated over to Our Lady of Angels Cathedral just a few blocks up the street. So on Friday night, we and our friends Homero and Jose (the two grin-happy fools pictured on your left) ambled over to First Street to catch a performance of The Taming of The Shrew.

Nerdfight!

That was nerdhood on a truly grand and cosmic scale.

Chinatown at the California Plaza

Never mind my personal convenience– that railway was crucial to the local economy, especially Grand Central Market), we walked over to Grand Avenue and took the escalator up.
