I wanted to take Merlyn on a photo outing for his birthday and it turned out he took me – had the idea and did all the driving. Thanks Merlyn for your birthday! We went to the La Brea Tar Pits, the Page Museum, and Fanny’s for lunch.
We parked by the Page and walked across the campus to Fanny’s meaning we got to see how far along the construction is to opening the new LACMA building. The Calder fountain is BACK, and I’m so happy for that. Also the new sculpture, Jeff Koons’s Split-Rocker (2000) is going up on the south side of Wilshire.
You have to pass through LACMA to get to Fanny’s at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures.
Back at the Page, Merlyn is 6’2″.
A little diorama.
Merlyn’s car, a big Tesla with the huge windshield and the gull wing back doors. We went on self-driving almost the entire way.
