I had to ask someone what this was (and there were about 4 or 5 of these islands). Apparently they are man-made islands to cover up the oil drilling that is going on. So instead of the huge, ugly offshore platforms, in Long Beach they have these islands. I wish I could have taken a picture of it at night - this one was really beautifully lit. Well, maybe I will be able to come back another time.

This building called "The Swan." I think it's some kind of multiple-residence building, I'm not sure. It was very fancy looking and had all of these swan sculptures standing guard, which I thought was funny.

artwork outside of the Long Beach Museum of Art. I thought it looked like a frosted chocolate cookie that broke apart.

Today's performance was at Bluff Park in Long Beach. Honestly, I hope they never come back to this city. If anyone from Long Beach really wants to see the shows, they can cross the bridge to San Pedro instead. It was a terrible location the city had us set up in, just a few feet away from a very busy street, so we were constantly battling traffic noise. The audience was really awful - it was like as if they were all really drunk and rowdy. The worst part was not being able to use the restroom - I don't know how bad the guy's bathrooms were but the girl's restroom had shit all over the floor and toilets in 3 of the 4 stalls. Disgusting.
Anyway, I went early to see if there was anything interesting to take a picture of. Not so much during the day. It looked better at night but i had no time during the show to take pictures and afterwards it wasn't the kind of neighborhood I would feel comfortable being alone that late at night.
