What did you do on or to your other bike part 2

[Gone in 60]

Speaking of Birds, tonight Super Bird took me to the Petersen for a service award dinner. Several people were being honored for five, 10 or 15 years of service. I have technically been working at the museum for 10 years, although I started as a volunteer docent around 2009. I received a 10 year service award and some nice comments from my boss.

The Petersen is backlit in red at night, and is quite a striking sight. Usually, it's hard to get a good motorcycle shot from across the street, as it means pulling up on the sidewalk which is usually a bit crowded during the day. But on a week night, it was pretty clear. I took the shot in front of Johnie's, which has long closed as a restaurant, but is a historically preserved example of Googie architecture used now for filming, and most recently as a venue for an art exhibit. I used to eat there regularly when I worked down the street at Petersen Publishing in the 90s. Here's a video featuring Sam Rockwell dancing inside Johnie's:

Also, I see that the recently unveiled Bullitt Mustang is now on display in the museum lobby, so if you'd like to see the coolest piece of movie car chase history in existence, get yourself to L.A. pronto.
