Joshua Bell at the Hollywood Bowl
The escalator going uphill was broken. So a lot of people had to hump it up the hill, coolers and picnic baskets in tow….a lot of tired old people trying to make it up the stairs.
We had a nice box (No wood bench seats tonight!) and picked up our picnic dinner from The Coral Cafe on the way. The weather was perfect, a beautiful warm summer night.
On The Menu: Roast beef sandwich, Caesar salad, dill pickle, chocolate & cinnamon bread pudding and a bottled water.

Joshua Bell at the Hollywood Bowl – Chocolate & Cinnamon Bread Pudding
The food was okay, but not great. I was not impressed by the roast beef sandwich (might have been better with mustard) or the bread puddings, and what can you really say about a “to go” caesar salad? It was fine for what it was, but the food was overpriced and I hate the plastic packaging.
NOTE: The people in the box behind us were still having their picnic during the first act, and decided to pack their trash and turn their chairs around after the program began. **FINISH YOUR PICNIC BEFORE THE STAR SPANGLED BANNER BEGINS!!!!!**
**AND DON’T TALK DURING THE PERFORMANCE!!!!!**
Joshua Bell at the Hollywood Bowl – Showtime on Tuesday Night!
Joshua Bell & the LA Philharmonic playing Mendelssohn, Bruch & Beethoven tonight:
Joshua Bell at the Hollywood Bowl – Mendelssohn, Bruch & Beethoven
It was a short program! The Bruch Concerto was beautiful and Beethoven’s 7th was very well done, but needed to build more before the finish, in my opinion. The concert was over and we were back to the car and on the freeway before 10:30pm.

Joshua Bell at the Hollywood Bowl – A Beautiful. Warm Summer Night!
It was a lovely evening with wonderful music on a beautiful, warm summer night. I had a nice picnic dinner and listened to first-rate musicians perform classical pieces in a fantastic environment. Happy Birthday to Me!
