Panoramic From Waterloo St.

Hey guys. Most of ya'll (mom excluded) haven't seen my new place yet. I've finally got the living room coming underway. Here's a couple pics of the place!


The view from the staircase. We don't have the private balcony that my neighbors have for this, but Judah and I keep tossing around terms like "hostile takeover". It's nice though because I can drag my folding chair out to the corner and watch the sun go down over the hills. It's beautiful. Also, you can see the Hollywood sign and the Griffith Observatory on the hills there. Hard to photograph.



This is a panoramic of my living room... the only room in the house that's really worth seeing at the moment. I promise it's a trick of the lens that it looks so big. In the corner you'll note two things...



... a rather full collection of records. These have been a whole lot of fun. It's the first thing people like to peruse through when they come into the apt. It's fun to get a feel of what kind of music people like based on what they get excited about in the collection. (and, yes, mom, some of these records are still yours. I promise they're being put to good use! :)



... and this is Lou. He's the plant that hangs out above the records and watches over the place when we're out. His name is a clever play on words that Judah concocted to help us keep him alive... being as we live on a street called "Water
loo".

So there's the first view of the place. Can't wait to have each of you over! Love you guys!

Wow, Don! Your place looks great. I'd love to choose a record from your collection and enjoy it with you.

And the view! What a gorgeous day. So can you put some music on and enjoy it as you watch the sunset from your corner of the world?

Sounds like you and Judah found a wonderful spot. Thanks for the pics - I was wondering what the inside looked like. How in the world did you get the layered pics up?! You guys keep impressing - and stumping - us with your techno-abilities!

Looking forward to getting our smiles on "people wall"!

Love you.
Dad and Mom
