Behind the scenes of Hollywood.

A long time ago, before Kara's life was consumed with school, she was able to enjoy living in California. One day, she decided to gather together a group of friends to take a hike behind the scenes of Hollywood......... literally.

Devon and Kara, pre-hike.

Destination, Hollywood sign.

The Entourage.
(L-R) Eric, Joe, Brooke, Sam, Devon.

Oh boy, it's a hot one!

"Hang on Guys! My asthma is kicking in!"

Says the stout little dog laying on his belly.

The Griffith Observatory.

"Guys! Wait for Me!"

The slow one of the group, or as she claims,

"I was just enjoying the journey!"

"I made it! I made it!"
Little did we know, Gracie wouldn't walk for four days after this hike.

Poor baby.

A non-traditional view of the Hollywood sign.

Resting our legs......and eyes.

My, "I'm too cool for school" roommate, Joe.

The Gangs All Here!

The little old Russian guy who gave us a 10 minute break down on how to live a happy life.

I love this shot looking down on LA. So pur-dee.

And when I got bored of resting my feet, I decided to stir-up a little bit of trouble.

But like I said, that was before........

This is now.

It's official.

It's official, I've taken my Starbucks gig too far. Last week I became a Starbucks "Coffee Master." I've upgraded my old green apron, to a fresh black one. Now what does this mean, you ask. We'll the number one question I get is, "Do you get paid more." And that answer is NO. I should, but I don't. Besides the honor of wearing a crisp black apron, my duties haven't changed. I just know more about the coffees we sell then the other partners in the store. I hold the knowledge. Fun fact #1: a tall cup of Starbucks Pike's Place Roast has more caffeine then a shot of espresso. It is a widely misconstrewed idea that espresso has more caffeine then a cup of coffee. It's simply not true. I'm the coffee master and I'm telling you IT'S NOT TRUE! Come on, ask me another question.....

COFFEE MASTER NERDS!

(Matt and Me, the only two Coffee Masters at our store)

Adios! It's 4:12 in the morning. I've got homework to finish. BLAH!!
