What we are about to discuss here, must stay here. I need a vow of secrecy from all good shooters that browse this thread. Do I have it? Ok, well if you read on then that is a yes.
My wife is a drama major, her birthday is July 28th (Monday), and she wants nothing more than to go to
The Producers.. I told her we can't afford it and we aren't going. Well I am a liar. I have had the tickets for a couple months. Here is where all of you come in to play.
The Saturday 7/26 Three Gun Match sounds like it will be fun. Secondly, it is the perfect cover to get my wife down to Los Angeles and make her still think we aren't going to the play. Now if I told her where I was taking her was a surprise, as soon as we hit I-5 south, she would know. Now if I tell her that I want to go to a three gun match and then take her somewhere nice to eat in LA afterwards, she might suspect it is a lie and she will probably really be hoping that I take her to the Pantages theatre instead. Well when we roll up to the West End Gun Club to shoot a three gun match, I think she is pretty much going to lose hope.
So, if I shoot a three gun match and leave there by about 1200 noon, will that two hours be enough to get me to the Pantages Theatre off Hollywood Blvd. from out there in the sticks? I am figuring with traffic problems, it would take the full two hours. I am thinking on a Saturday at noon, it might only take one hour to an hour and a half. What do you guys think?
Now there is a chance the three gun might not be over by noon, oh well. I would just have to leave early. So what do you think? Will it work? The only downside is to get to the gun range from Taft by 0930, I am going to have to leave about 0600 to 0630! What fun. I think this is going to work. I am excited. Three gun, big time off-broadway comedy, and meeting all of you in the same day.
Ok, so if any of you show up to the three gun that day, YOU KNOW NOTHING!!! Let me repeat, YOU KNOW NOTHING! I was going to not tell anyone here for fear of it getting out, but I was too excited about the whole plan. So once again, if we show up, mention nothing about later that day. I might tell you I am taking my wife out to dinner later, but you know nothing about plays, theatre, or The Producers. Thanks guys. Let me know what you think about my time estimates from The West End Gun Club to Hollywood Blvd and the 101.
