The Jello Shot Guy

A guy, a few seats away was looking at the stage when a bead necklace mis-throw "ringed" his head landing perfectly on his shoulders. He looked up, arms bent at the elbows palms up with this great smile on his face.

It was one great party.


I don't know if you've been to the Bowl,


but you are allowed to take elaborate picnic baskets/coolers to you seats. (The box seats actually have tables and often had food delivered from the bowl's restaurants.)


So everybody was sharing food and wine/beer/mixed drinks with everyone else. One giant kumbaya fest.


LA is a great melting pot of different cultures and ethnic groups ... as a former LA City Commissioner, I've spoken with representatives from different countries who came to LA to see how such diversity can manage to live together without daily and violent civil unrest.

At the bowl, music and LA culture brought together a cornucopia of people of all color from every corner of this globe, all dancing together ... sharing together ... laughing together. A magical time in a magical place.

Afterwards, the spell was broken with the parking and traffic and out went the kumbaya.

The stage revolved to so... no set-up or tear-down time.





... Cosby was flying (his last MC)


... all mixed together in a magical venu.




Sadly, it all had to end.
