I love me my museums

Went to LACounty Museum of Art. Met up with Byrd and me ma and got to shoot the shit with Byrd before we went in. He's like my surrogate gay uncle that I've loved like a family member since I was an ittybitty. Also a damn good artist. We started to get into the 2 hour line when one of the ushers grabbed us and ushered us to a line where there was no line, they just zipped us to the front door where we waited about 2 minutes. Place was crowded as hell inside. Good thing they copied all the artifact notes on another placard and put it in front and up high for the people like me that can see over others. I feel kinda bad about King Tutankhamun as this was a nice exhibit of ceremonial artifacts and the such. There was nothing that was normal everyday life, only the artifacts from teh tomb and he was royalty so this was primo stuff. My gripe is that this is someones tomb and it's been thoroughly desecrated. Either way everything was really beautiful, thats for sure. What ticked me off was that if they're going to have all this stuff, I wanted to see the bust or mask from tut's sarcophagus. Nope. They had a digital life size image of his full body ct-scan that changed from every level and had some of the funerary jewelry he wore. It was beautifully done. All the jewelry was awesome but he's considered a god, why wouldn't he have the finest? It was okay, too crowded. I couldn't wait to get out once I got to the last 1/3 of it, and the gift shop sucked. Tons of chotzkes, and nothing that even made me look at it too long.

We all then went to Callendars, which is an upscale Marie Callendars (not what you think really), pretty good restaurant that we usually hit after a show there. But I was happy and ate some good cajun trout. Check it if you really like ancient egypt as it's not a bad show at all, but it's not the Egyptian exhibit from the 80's when the whole shabang was here. Just get ready to wait in line.
