Our last meeting in Hollywood was at none other than Sony Pictures Animation. We pitched them on a feature length animated film of the Plaid tour. Before they could call security, we chatted for real. And we learned about some of the incredible people and projects that Sony has in the hopper.

A true awesome host, Andrea even set us up with a secret beach and pizza tip for when we make our way down to San Diego. Thanks Andrea!

One of our visits in Hollywood took us to Leads 360. This is a company that gets it. Many, many months ago, on the very first day that we announced our tour, Avi contacted Plaid and invited us for a visit.

Here's a business who is not an agency - not a production company - but a software solution. They're working on doing all of the right things (including an open API solution). They've even put themselves into one of the coolest spaces in Los Angeles, and have outfitted an old photo studio into one sweet office space. High ceilings, exposed trusses, and filled with cool.

We chatted, traded swag, and hit the road for lunch. At Pink's.

We started our first day in Hollywood meeting with Hollywood types. Only we didn't have any scripts to pitch, didn't have a film concept, or even headshots. Just an awesome van filled with Plaid creatives. First stop: Yari Films. Here's a really cool firm that's produced some incredible pictures that you've probably seen - like Crash, and the Illusionist. We talked shop, and traded swag.

The crew at Yari told us about Hollywood's most famous cemetery, located directly behind their building. Marilyn Monroe, Merv Griffin, Rodney Dangerfield, Carroll O'connor and a bunch of other famous people are currently staying there. They had us at Marilyn - and we decided to head there for the taping of the 11:40 show.

Thanks Yari for allowing Plaid into Hollywood!
