Bel Air Goes to the Bowl

My church, Bel Air Presbyterian, held its Easter morning service at the Hollywood Bowl yesterday. Normally you'd think "outdoor... LA... no problem", but this Spring things have been a bit more dicey. Nevertheless the weather cooperated yesterday and the service was great.

I was a little worried how the parking situation was going to come out. Normally I'd never drive to the Bowl -- subway to Hollywood/Vine and a shuttle up the hill works much better -- but the full compliment of Bowl transit wasn't running yesterday. We sat for ten or fifteen minutes waiting to get to the parking, but somehow managed to make it out afterward quicker than we often would have at the church itself.
