For my birthday yesterday, my girlfriend Naomi surprised me with a helicopter ride. It was completely random because she nor I have a special affinity for helicopters or flying and it really seems like a touristy thing to do. But I gotta tell you, it was f-ing fun.

We flew out of an airfield in Burbank and flew over the Sepulveda pass, over Pacific Palisades, out to the Santa Monica beach, and hooked around the pier. I almost puked making that turn, but from there we flew from Santa Monica to Westwood, Century City, Hollywood, through Downtown, and back to Burbank. We were a few hundred feet off the ground in most places but for this pic of the Hollywood sign I took we couldn’t have been more than 75-feet from the hillside.

Of course, I was really on the lookout for people doing naughty things in their backyard. But we didn’t see any. The pilot said he had seen plenty of that kind of thing, though, especially out in Chatsworth where they film a lot of porns. Apparently our pilot had been hired to work on a couple, but when I asked his job title on those productions I got a murky answer. He did go on to say they had actually filmed a porn in our very copter a couple of weeks before and that made us giggle then groan at the thought of sitting in all that dried up DNA. Anyway, my birthday helicopter ride was some unlikely fun, and I highly recommend it to anyone thinking of something to do.

I just hope you don’t get the copter with all the jizz in it like we did.

Sa-lute,
