Universal Studios

Sunday, Angel and my little friend Marc went to Universal Studios. Several of the boys WERE going to go, but Saturday was too much for most of them.

We went about 2:00pm and stayed until an hour before it closed at 6:00pm. At about 5:00opm, right after I had I screamed at the top of my lungs, "Oh SHIT!" on the Mummy ride when I didn't expect it to take off so fast and almost peed my pants, I pushed for all of to head home and beat all the traffic. I didn't realize how close I live to Universal until I drove home.

Here's a photo of me in a "London" style phone booth on one of the "sets" that Julia Roberts used in "Notting Hill" and one of me on my street. BAKER Street - now that's a street corner I should be on. *wink*

I have about 100 photos from the afternoon, I have to get in a gallery of course, but I singled these out because I particularly like the "BACK LOT TOUR" that we took. Angel used to DO IT in Japanese, but of course, he picked the front friggin' row right in front of the tour guide like I bet he always picked in school. (I was too busy in the back row playing with myself.)
When we got to the part from the airline crash with Brad Pitt in "War of the Worlds" I just can't get over how real it looks. I mean, if I was asleep and woke up on that ride, I would have thought I was in a plane crash and I was on my way to heaven. It is simply and utterly amazing. Here are two of the photos that I encourage you to enlarge and just look at the detail. It dumbfounds me every time.

I will put some other photos from the sets, that I took paying special attention to what I haven't before. I have more to write this time, because I have done it three or four times now, so I pay attention to smaller things now rather then the big picture.

Universal Universal Vist

Saturday, Rusty, Andy and I went to Universal Studios theme park in Hollywood for fun.

Except, it wasn't that much fun. I mean, I enjoyed the company SO MUCH, but there were only like three "ride" rides. Of all the attractions listed HERE, we deemed the 'Revenge of the Mummy' ride fucking FIERCE! It was so cool. It was full of exileration and surprises.
Other than that, it's the Jurassic Park River Cruise which was cool. I have always been a fan of Jurassic Park, so that was really neat. I felt like I was really in the park.
We did the back lot tour which was probably my second favorite thing and was really cool to learn all about that. I was amazed at the plane crash set and the Bates Motel set.

Here's a photo of us on the roller coaster that we liked. YEA! How fun!?

You can see photos from the entire day in the gallery at http://partywithbrandon.com/photos/universal/index.html.
Here are some of my favorites. (...this time there were so many.)


I had so much fun with Rusty and Andy. It was a no pressure, amicable, exciting, sexy day. Even though that's priceless in my own mind, Fabrice was able to hook us up with free tickets, so that was really a nice treat too. Thanks Fabrice!

You might have guessed it, but I wouldn't be caught dead on my phone. ...but I thought it would be cool to pretend and talk on it as I posed in this coffin.

I love this set too, that was really neat. Rusty looks right at home here. Can Rusty do something that doesn't look hot?

Okay, I was taking this photo of the "ghouls" in the background eating all the candy because I thought it was cute and I could put something about making sure you brush your teeth. If you can see the photo right before this one, the guy in the foreground wasn't in it. I don't know how it happened, but he slid right into the photo and looks like he had been there for a while.
...and can I just tell you that's the hottest scary person I have ever seen in my life. I wanted to go back and give him a card, but he moved into the crowd. I am dying to meet him again. *wink* Seriously, I could not shut up about how hot the fucker was. ARGH! (He's my festive screen saver for a couple of days now.)

I could not have cast the roles any better. In the Brandon Baker story, Rusty is the current director and I am the producer. No really. It's sickeningly true, folks.

I don't know what happened, but it might have been a "Child Switch" when Rusty moved in on the space and time Andy used to occupy in my life. I was THRILLED to have them both at the park and be in the company of such wonderful people. I love both of the hobbits. *wink*
