An evening at the Magic Castle in Hollywood


Ah, the Magic Castle; the stronghold of all things magical. This mysterious mansion sits on the side of a hill and is exclusive only to members and guests of the members.

The beginning of your night starts with an introduction to the mansion while standing in a small library and when you are ready you speak the magic words, the bookcase slides open and you are permitted into the castle.

You eat a fabulous dinner and watch shows put on by some of the finest magicians or up and coming...at least. The mansion is Victorian and it's décor speaks to that. It is odd and in some cases downright strange, with magic lurking around each corner.

As the dress code suggests it's an upper class club and you'd expect it's patrons to behave accordingly.

Unfortunately such is not the case. Below is something I found in the bathroom stall. Somebody had quite a bit of time on their hands to create this little gem. The bathrooms were done in decoupage with old magic posters, fairly classy. I'd hope for better from people but to be honest I've nearly lost my faith in the human race.


Yep, pretty classy indeed. :(
