Stranded in California by Tigris

He has arrived in California! That little jalopy of his made it all the way from Michigan to California. Unfortunately, when it reached Hollywood, it literally fell apart. Harp believed that the only kind thing to do was to put it out of its misery, and then properly bury it in Forest Lawn Cemetery in Glendale. It was a good little flivver, he will miss it. This pic is loosely based on a wonderful Buster Keaton photo: http://imdb.com/media/rm395745280/nm0000036 The Hollywood sign was originally a housing development advertisement for "Hollywoodland", built in 1923 (which was within Harp's time-frame of living). The sign didn't become "Hollywood" until 1949. Here's its Wiki page with crazy stories and antics that ensued: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hollywood_Sign

Rising Sun Jam Session by Tigris

Wed, 16 Apr 2008 05:32:54 -0000

Mike Nes is wailing "The House Of The Rising Sun", with Peter Torken on keyboard, Josh Huskwolf on drums, and Max Lennon and Paul McGear on guitar. Mike and Peter are from The Prairie Chickens (aka. "The Prairies", a Monkees tribute band). Paul, Josh and Max are from The Fab Gears (a Beatles tribute band). On occasion they get together and do full concerts with their own respective tribute songs, and sometimes random songs from other bands. (these characters/tribute bands are a figment of my own imagination, EXCEPT Josh, he belongs to my friend phantomzstar)

Harp's girl is being held captive by her father because he doesn't have a job and is considered "lower class". In this moment, he pauses to console his heart. This is when he realizes he must show her father that he is worthy and will do whatever it takes.. by climbing to the top floor of the house and sneaking her out her bedroom window.
