banksy is here for the oscars

the internet has been buzzing all week with news about banksy hitting LA. today the mickey & minnie billboard was taken down and rumor is that the charlie brown piece was stolen. i knew there was a reason banksy was using those characters so i did a little research to confirm what i already suspected and my theory is it’s because the oscars are on ABC which is a disney company. disney = mickey & minnie. so charlie brown wasn’t created by disney but ABC signed a deal to air peanuts cartoons. could banksy be giving the oscars the finger? sure seems like it…

or maybe he just doesn’t like disney? remember the disneyland prank… yea. wonder what he’ll do if he actually does win an oscar!!! or do they actually show that award being given during the broadcast?

the greatest show on earth.

we didn’t hide colored eggs for the kids. we got them up, dressed and headed out to LA. our first stop was at Yoshinoya on the corner of melrose & vermont. mmm yummy easter lunch! after that we cruised on melrose to see what stores were open, nothing really caught our eye so we headed up to sunset to hit Meltdown. they changed the layout since we last visited months ago and i prefer it so much more. it’s much roomier and you can see the displays better. the kids had fun playing on the rodys. C & i picked up the hi-fructose box set. it’s a beauty. the 5 prints alone are worth the cost ($39.95) – i’m planning on doing a review in the next couple weeks. 2 things were depressing: looks like the secret base display cabinet is gone?! and that i didn’t have crazy money to blow.

but what we really went to LA for is SCOOPS. turns out they were closed which we kinda expected. it’s ok, they deserve a holiday lol not wanting to go back home we went to check out the idiot box show at gallery 1988. it was a really good show. all the pieces were fantastic!!!
