A Mobile Shooter Captures The National in concert at Hollywood Forever
I don’t write much about the best things to do in Los Angeles often since this is a travel blog and I live here, but today I’m making an exception. After all, over 27 million people tourists visited Los Angeles last year, and I’m full of love for the City of Angels.

Last night I went to see The National in concert at Hollywood Forever Cemetery. In addition to being the final resting place of punk rock legend, Johnny Ramone, and silver screen lothario, Rudolph Valentino, Hollywood Forever makes itself part of the community with a bunch of cultural activities, making it the liveliest cemetery around.
