Griffith Park Observatory/Laserium. Maybe you are asking yourself what is Laserium? Well when I was a teenager we would go up to the GPO and sit in one of the domes, they had these head rests on the back of the seats that you laid your head in to look up and they would play rock & roll to a laser show on the inside of the dome. Pink Floyd was one of the favorites..."Dark Side of the Moon". What a blast!! Anyway, I almost didn't post this until tomorrow but in reality it is already tomorrow.
