Yesterday President Obama came into Los Angeles! We LAers are used to movie stars and pop stars galore, but having the PRESIDENT in town is quite exciting. I found out about his arrival from my friend who was nice enough to send me an email that warned me about the traffic implications. There was a website link that had a map of Los Angeles with a big red Haze over the 405 freeway and its surrounding areas, marking where traffic would be expected. The way home from my current internship at Martin Laurence Bullard goes straight through the red area. I was expecting my route home to take 5 hours, when it normally takes me 45 minutes. Miraculously the trip home was my quickest to date! One note that the website link had about the President’s visit is that he would be dinning at a restaurant in Brentwood, Tavern. I thought that was pretty interesting since I had been there many times and really enjoyed it. I even went to the restaurant for a lighting class assignment where I had to do sketches of a restaurant's lighting. A big welcome to the President and happy Easter weekend to everyone.
