Zelda | Friday, September 22, 2000 - 10:59 am  Ras this is great ... I love both of our inputs |
Rasputin | Friday, September 22, 2000 - 10:59 am  Finally we get to the fence, and I was scared that they would stop us, but they just watched (and took pictures) as we slipped back through into the outside world. Our cars were parked right there, but we didn't want them to be able to identify us from the licence plates, so we just walked right by and turned down a street. In two seconds, their Jeep security-mo-bile was following us as we walked slowly on the sidewalk. Every now and then Zelda would turn back and take a picture of them following us to scare them. (they would hang back a little farther when she did so) |
Rasputin | Friday, September 22, 2000 - 11:04 am  At this point, I was stuck. Eventually, the LAPD would show up (knowing them, probably like in 2 hours) but anywhere we walked, the security would follow us. I didn't have any idea what we should do, when Zelda thought of the idea that would save the Angels. |
Bunny | Friday, September 22, 2000 - 11:04 am  Forget the running of the bulls, forget the running of the pugs, whole new concept: Running of the ANGELS |
Kahlua | Friday, September 22, 2000 - 11:04 am  Oh my ! You guys, I am laughing so hard it's becoming difficult to type! Tears of mirth are streaming down my face - I am afraid I'm going to short out my keyboard. You guys are the best - this is too funny. As Karen would say - the Security Gaurds are so not right! |
Zelda | Friday, September 22, 2000 - 11:05 am  Okay so by this time we are almost back to the gate and I think wait if you have our pix, I want their mugs! Ras is repeating our mantra ... this is LA property ... and adds ... if we are trespassing so are you! They looked a little confused... So we squeeze through the fence and left them there peering through ... what do they do now ... the little girls didn't stop ... they didn't do what we said uummm???? I snapped another pix of their bewilderment. Trust me... we sound like we were conifident but our hearts were racing ... what do we do... go to our cars? They had already sent another Security car to meet us on the other side. |
Zelda | Friday, September 22, 2000 - 11:13 am  So we decided not to go straight to the cars and walked as if we were just going to go home and watch the taped BB show we had set in our VCRs right around the corner! Well, the security kept following us ... I turned around and took pix and he would lag farther behind. We walked down another street ... know that it was a dead end but behind that there was another parking lot but by the time we go there ... there was the other security car from the path. Oh what to do.... So we walked along and turned down a second street and then we ran down an alley and ducked in an apartment laundry room! |
Zelda | Friday, September 22, 2000 - 11:17 am  We looked at each other and freaked! OMG what are we doing??? So we decided to hide the packages and slingshot. If we were going to get caught we only wanted to be found with wings and a halo in our bag! We waited for a while.... Then sure enough we both said... HELICOPTERS! We peeked up and around the corner of this laundry room/courtyard and sure enough... a big black LAPD helicopter with a searchlight! |
Rasputin | Friday, September 22, 2000 - 11:18 am  We huddled in the apartment room, peeking out the windows and sure every second that LAPD or the security guys were going to come knocking on the door, because of course they must be searching door-to-door for us, terrible trespassers. We looked out the window and saw a helicopter with a searchlight flying by, and we were sure it was looking for us. O Awful Trespassing Angels! Is the Wrath of Big Brother something we cannot escape??? |
Enb | Friday, September 22, 2000 - 11:19 am  Woooohoo!! You go Angels!! |
Zelda | Friday, September 22, 2000 - 11:22 am  We decide that we were in an area that was too light so we carefully went to the adjoined apt and hid in their laundry room ... the lights were off and gave us a better view of the unfriendly sky. We decided to just wait it out. I remembering saying ... all I want to do is go home and go to bed ... nothing like a good scare to make you appreciate your cats! (not that I don't but you know what I mean) |
Zelda | Friday, September 22, 2000 - 11:25 am  This over sweet little angels who just wanted their BB Hgs from going hungry and keep their bottoms dry??? |
Rasputin | Friday, September 22, 2000 - 11:25 am  Eventually, after about 40 minutes, we decide that we will try to make it to our cars (parked right next to the CBS property, mind you). For me, this was the scariest part of the whole mission, leaving our safe place and venturing out to possibly meet the security guards again. |
Katie | Friday, September 22, 2000 - 11:29 am  Type faster!!!!! lol |
Zelda | Friday, September 22, 2000 - 11:32 am  So we decided to make a break from the comforts of a cement floor and the smell of dryer sheets and venture out ... we carefully walked the back alley, cut through a condo complex and peered over a gate to see full views of our cars. We had made a plan back at the laundry room that we were going to the car ... if the security or LAPD were not there ... we were to get in our cars and follow each other to meet up miles away. So that is what we did ... no one was in sight so we sprinted to our cars and drove away. We met up and made sure each other were still breathing and were all right... BTW, my inhaler with me at all times! |
Judy | Friday, September 22, 2000 - 11:32 am  You guys are so brave!! Talk about touched by an Angel, I think our Angels are a little bit "touched"! Can't wait to see the pix of security - with the black rectangles across their faces of course! |
Chris | Friday, September 22, 2000 - 11:33 am  Wow! Helicopters! Soo 1984! |
Rasputin | Friday, September 22, 2000 - 11:36 am  That is basically the end of the story, Zelda can you post some of the pictures that you took? |
Zelda | Friday, September 22, 2000 - 11:37 am  I live at the beach and helicopters and banner planes fly overhead all the time... I will never be the same! |
Marysafan | Friday, September 22, 2000 - 11:40 am  *Sound of enthusiastic clapping* Bravo!!!! *shrill whistle with two fingers in mouth* I am giving you a standing ovation...right here in very rural IOWA. A plus for a very valiant effort! |
Zelda | Friday, September 22, 2000 - 11:41 am  I am downloading the pix and will send them to Neil to post... I want to thank everyone for their support but a special thanks go to Fruitbat... she was the calming, patient voice on my cell phone during the security fiasco. She has been so kind and always has the right thing to say. Jana-always on top of things and ready to move with any info! Ccc such a sweetie and always ready & willing. |
Psp | Friday, September 22, 2000 - 11:47 am  So... what did happen to Jombie? Was she the mole that tipped security off to you? Did they pick her up and make her talk? Were all of the extra security precautions just for you, or was something else going on too? Your public wants to know! |
Stealth | Friday, September 22, 2000 - 12:00 pm  Also what did u guys get for the houseguests ? |
Noslonna | Friday, September 22, 2000 - 12:01 pm  ..°.. ( ) Way to go Angels! I hope they reconsider giving Jordan the role in Mission Impossible III and give it to one of you instead. (Are the packages and sling-shot still hidden or did you manage to retrieve them?) |
Jana | Friday, September 22, 2000 - 12:08 pm  I can't wait to see the pix guys! For you who haven't heard yet....we appreciate so much all the enthusiasm and also the donations to the angel fund...there is about $100 remaining in the fund, and this money will be donated to Eddie's wheelchair basketball fund in honor of Ed's mom Denise and Ed's cousin Nancy who were always willing and able to help the angels and added so much fun to our little capers! we love you Ras and Zelda!!!! (so what's next angels? shall we don diving equipment and find a Survivor island to rescue?).... |
