Photo I found browsing around Google. I do not own this photo.

As previously mentioned I’m heading back to Los Angeles October 2nd through the 15th. With that being said I thought I’d give you a taste of what I plan to be doing while I’m strolling along the cemeteries in and around Tinseltown. But first before I do that, I thought I’d mention that after I came home from the last L.A. Gravecation in 2011, I decided that I’d make my presence known once again in L.A. this time around for the 15th Annual Hollywood Underground Dinner. For some reason that I don’t have the answers to the annual Hollywood Underground Dinner, pretty much morphed into the 1st Annual Death Hag Weekend. So being that I originally planned to be in the area during the 15th Annual Hollywood Underground Dinner(which morphed into the 1st Annual Death Hag Weekend), I felt that it would only be fittingly proper to take part in the 1st Annual Death Hag Weekend

The 1st Annual Death Hag Weekend. Is being organized by the undisputed King of the Death Hag’s, and my friend Scott Michaels. If you’re not aware, Scott is the owner/curator of Find A Death.com. Find A Death.com caters to anyone who has an interest in the deaths of the worlds most beloved celebrities, and otherwise obscurely notable personalities. Scott is also the proprietor of one of the BEST sightseeing tour venues in Hollywood, namely Dearly Departed Tours. Dearly Departed Tours, takes tourists from around the globe, on a two-hour joyride around Hollywood, to visit the sites where celebrities were involved in some sort of ill-conceived scandal, or unfortunately met their untimely demise. Needless to say with Scott’s experience its only fitting that he is the organizer of the 1st Annual Death Hag Weekend.

If your interested in browsing around the official website for the 1st Annual Death Hag Weekend. Where you will find seven weekend package options to choose from, and a bunch of other goodies. You should visit DDTWeekend.com. Or you could visit the official Facebook page for the 1st Annual Death Hag Weekend.

The centerpiece of my 2012 L.A. gravecation trek. Is to visit the cemeteries I did not get the chance to visit the last time I was in town in 2011. The cemetery list I’ve compiled which is included below will give you a general idea of the cemeteries I plan to visit, and in some cases revisit. Please keep in mind this is just a tentative list I’ve compiled, which will more than likely change.

Mount Sinai Memorial Park
Valhalla Memorial Park
Inglewood Park Cemetery
Angelus-Rosedale Cemetery
Evergreen Cemetery
Woodlawn Cemetery Santa Monica

Closing out my second visit to Los Angeles. I plan to checkout the job situation in the booming film & television industry in Southern California. I’m in the process of making plans to meet with a few people who are actively involved in the film & television industry, to garner advice, & feedback from them and possibly develop some contacts. For when I eventually move to Los Angeles in a few years. That way I’ll hopefully have a possible job lined up as a Production Assistant once I finally relocate to Los Angeles. Needless to say this trip is a mixture of business with pleasure. I’m seriously looking forward to my second Los Angeles visit.
