The Hollywood Bowl - A Los Angeles Cultural Landmark

As far back as 1922 The Hollywood Bowl (noted as the largest natural outdoor amphitheater in the United States with an audience capacity of 18,000) has hosted many of the world's greatest musicians and is the perfect venue for an evening of music under the stars.

Located at 2301 Highland Avenue in Hollywood (where Highland meets the Hollywood Freeway), the Hollywood Bowl is an ideal setting for fireworks and pyrotechnics displays.

The 2009 Season has featured outstanding classical and jazz performances by the Los Angeles Philharmonic and big-name artists including Herbie Hancock,Diana Krall, Andrea Bocelli, Natalie Cole and Liza Minnelli.

There's also the annual Sound of Music sing-a-long which is an immensely entertaining evening, watching and listening to the audience participation.

Patrons can purchase season tickets or single event tickets for the three different types of seating to suit individual budgets and preferences: Box Seats (consisting of 4 collapsible canvas chairs with a table for food service); Super-Seats (Plastic stadium style seats with cup-holders: the Bench Seats (the greatest number of seats which extend all the way to the very back of the theater).

Ticket prices vary considerably .... but it's amusing to see how "scalpers" ask ridiculous amounts for VIP box seats for some events .... this past week I saw ads on Craigslist asking $12,000 (yes - twelve thousand dollar) for a box with 4 seats for the Liza Minnelli performance and $2300 for Natalie Cole tickets.

I'm a big fan of Liza's, but $12,000 ....?

If you are planning to have a place on Cape Cod while you're working at the Hollywood East studios, you should buy now. The privacy factor is not as easy to achieve on Cape Cod as you might think. Still, there are some interesting buys right now that could provide you and your family privacy from the summer crowds.

The Cape has long been a place for vacationers. As such, many of the properties have been built close together on smaller lots. As more quiet interest in the Cape develops from people who have to work a little harder to find privacy, properties that can provide it are going up in value.

If you are looking for comfortable digs with a buffer, you should start your search now. For example 11+ acres within 20 minutes of the new studio are on the market for $7+ million. With one multi-bedroom colonial, another beachfront home with four more bedrooms, hundreds of feet of private beach, a private dock, another guest house, and a barn, you could work and play on Cape Cod.

Other areas on The Cape can provide privacy, too. And, when the word gets out that Hollywood East is a great place to be working, there will be more than a few who appreciate privacy - and look for it.

Helping buyers and sellers come together without a lot of fanfare can be as useful as owning a private location.
