New Kid on the Block

Well, we’ve finally made it back out to the boulevard, now that the rain and Oscar-craziness is over. I still want to hear Batgirl’s version of this week’s adventures, but I figured since I just don’t write much, I’d say a little something.
I got word on Wednesday that Captain Jack Sparrow was back in town. so I bounced up and down a little, and then I told him we’d be there the next day. Not because he was there, we had already planned to be there. But we caught up with Jack a bit, admired his new hand-made hat (if you want a Jack Sparrow hat, let me know, I’ll hook you up. He can also get you some gold teeth to complete your look, if you’re serious about it).
That day, we EACH got a $20 tip froma generous tourist. Woohoo! It’s nice to be appreciated. And then later in the evening, the three of us went to enjoy drinks with the Zannel.com crowd. It was interesting to meet some of these people in person. We got some of the cookie guy’s cookies, and the Captain enjoyed a lot of rum.
Fast forward to Friday, Batgirl and I decided to try the evening shift. We met on the boulevard, but I arrived first. The first thing to catch my eye was – a really buff Superman! Immediately I knew this wasn’t Chris. So after walking up and down the boulevard to see if the Captain or Batgirl were around yet, I came back and introduced myself. Turns out he’s a really, really, super-nice guy. (Get it? Super?) We hung out with him, and earned a decent amount for the what, hour and a half we stayed? lol. It gets cold in PVC! And spandex. Superman left before us, but he’d been out for a while. Gosh. We need to think of a nickname for him now… Before he left, we did take some photos with him. He also got a group photo with us and the Jokers, and promised to email it at some point. I look forward to seeing him again. 😀
Aw, I look like I have crazy eyes! I think I was trying hard not to blink. But it’s still a cute picture. 🙂
I’ve been running around this morning, maybe tonight if we don’t work I’ll get to writing.
Is it an optical illusion or is that an earring in Buff Superman’s right ear? I guess invulnerability does not preclude piercing.
Speaking of buff boulevardiers, have you seen these images of yourselves?

Gah, I hate snipers! But at least my ass looks good in that last picture.
Thank you for making this blog. I moved to L.A. a month ago, but have been visiting for years. In 2004 I took pictures with Superman and Max Allen Batman. Nnow that I’m older and living here, I figured I’d give the character of Superman a try. On a visit to the Blvd I saw this Superman,and another young Superman but have yet to run into Chris. Are any of you still doing this, or are you two long gone?
Well, I suppose he takes some days off. 🙂 I don’t know what he’s been up to, but I don’t think he’ll ever give up being Superman. I’m surprised there are other Supermen there though. Anyway, we (Catwoman and Batgirl) haven’t been out there in years… it was time to move on to other adventures. 🙂
