Have a gret time! I wish I could be there. I used to work down there..Here is our TARGET AREA, from www.kodak.com:
I used to work down there.. at the First National Hollywood bank.From our FIRST "Oscar FReep" thread:
1 - The PERFECT epicenter for our rally...Just about ALL of the beautiful buildings surrounding the "red carpet" area are owned by what would seem to be pro-Hollywood (and ANTI-our rally) entities, i.e. the entire Kodak Theatre/Hollywood & Highland complex, Disney's El Capitan theatre across the street, the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel - so that THEY would not want us near them, and the REST of the buildings in the area are run-down and ratty-looking, i.e. souvenir junk shops, or TACKY, like Ripley's Believe it or Not "Odditorium" - so that WE would not want to be near THEM, except for THIS one:
Hollywood First National Building
6777 Hollywood Blvd.
Northeast corner of Hollywood and HighlandNote that in the "red carpet" picture posted at #4 (above), you can see this classic building (on the far right) when the cameras look towards the area where we think that the limos will arrive.Built by architects Meyer & Holler in 1927, this property is a historic site.
This combination of Gothic and Art Deco was created by the same architects who designed the Chinese Theater.
From 1927 to 1932 it was the tallest in the city.
However, Los Angeles City Hall was built in 1932 which was taller.
Currently an office building that will be undergoing renovation by its owner in 1999.1 - The police have already told Ted that they will accomodate him SOMEWHERE on Highland.This area would be MY choice, if I were the LAPD officer in charge, IF Ted would limit the number of people who join him to less than a dozen, or so.
2 - Most of the sidewalks along both Hollywood AND Highland will be closed, except for an "eight-foot walkway" - see from post #6 (above).
3 - There is an "alcove" of sorts right at the entrance to the Hollywood National Building - where the police could allow Ted, and a handful of his supporters to gather, more or less "off the beaten path" where the crowd needs to move.The REST of our people could gather somewhere ELSE, at a place which I have not (yet) determined - possibly further north on Highland, in the direction...
