How I spent my Tuesday night

This is the Mayan Theatre in downtown Los Angeles. There are a bunch of these kind of old school theatres still around that have unique and classic architecture.

Got one of these before we sat down. Had many more before the night was over. I just impressed some of you, I know.

The midget with the gun kept showing up and shooting people. The DJ below was mixing spanish covers of Rolling Stone's songs.

First match was a battle royal. It was amazing. Worst fake wrestling I had ever seen. I was rooting for chupacabra who kicked some serious tail for awhile. He's got the spikes, see? They have comedians in the back commentating on the action. One of the wrestlers masked came off by accident and the writer for the Simpsons said "Hey look, its my gardner!" Yea, the laughes.

There was one stripper guy who came out in an astronaughty suit and on a pogo stick. Girls went crazy until stripper guy went down on the dj. Opps.
Above is the midget wrestling match.

Thats it. Come visit Los Angeles please.

Here is a much better pro shot of the action.

I did not. And they weren't serving Nachos. But you could buy the wrestling masks but none of them fit my big head :(

No. No celebs unless you count the Moody Blues. Seriously, they were there and introduced.

Oh yea, the chicken match. They fought against a disco latin guy and a 1960 kungfu black guy.
