Dan´s birthday week

"BEST BIRTHDAY WEEK OF MY LIFE" (Dan Zerin)

My man Dan had a birthday and since he was so amazing to take me to Vegas and give me an awesome birthday i thought i´d do the same. Give him a birthday to remember. A birthday week!

His first gift was an an autographed cardboard picture of his favorite actor Danny Kaye

 and one of his movies "On the riviera".

His best friend Andrew (since he´s romanian, i call him his BROMANIAN) came to visit us for 10 days for Dan´s birthday. Talk about a good friend. To top it off he gave him a hockey jersey and brought Dan´s favourite Michigan beer Bell´s Two hearted ale and others which they drank that night.

Nightmare on Elm Street Day

-I borrowed Dan´s book about Robert Englund (who plays Freddie Krueger)and had it autographed along with an autographed picture. As you can see on the picture below he was stunned. He couldn´t believe it

Awesome story though, I sent it to his wife Nancy who handles all the fan stuff, and since it took longer because she missed the apartment address the first time around she sent a postcard for me the second time around which read "Dear Anna, Before I met Robert I dated a guy on Sycamore, more like SICK-amore. Sincerely, Nancy Englund" ...how cool is that! I got a postcard too.

After i gave him the present we, Andrew and our good friend Crystal went on our own  
Nightmare on Elm Street Tour, which included

-Nightmare on Elm Street house (or Genesee Ave, located in West Hollywood)

-John Marshall High School in Los Feliz....also filmed Grease and Pretty in Pink there

-Tina´s house and The Canals (located in Venice Beach)

The day after we did our own Winetour of Santa Monica

On Monday, Andrew and Dan went to see Conan O´Brian´s show. His guests were Simon Cowell and Demi Lovato (from X-factor) and Jake Gyllenhall (a special guest since he was suppose to appear later in the week). Needless to say they had a blast!

Tuesday until Thursday was Vegas ....
-stayed at Excalibur, that theme including Sword in the stone bar and men in armor.
 Amazing. Now i can say i slept in a castle.

-upstairs was like a mall, including wedding chapel next to a pizza hut.

-gambling (we won at a penguin machine at the Bellagio )

-drinking in the street (since you can´t do that in the rest of USA)

-saw water-, volcano- and pirateshow...and of course posed for photos :P

-walked around amazing hotels

-dinner at Lynyrd Skynard bar

-dinner at Heart Attack Grill

-buffet at Mandalay Bay, where Dan ate something bad and had an allergy attack so we had to go back to the hotel. Nothing scarier than losing your breath. Thankfully we had just seen the pirateshow near Walgreens, where we could purchase allergy meds and help him catch his breath again.

-only pepsi at the hotel ...worst news ever since i love coca cola...

 

on the bright side they had popcornopolis, aka heaven! 

-stopped at the Pawn Shop (known TV show Pawn wars, which Andrew loves)

-stopped in Arizona where we bought the town out of BELL´s beer

Once we were back in L.A. Andrew was kind enough to take us to a Romanian restaurant. He was happy to get Romanian food and i was happy to get some Schnitzel. Delicious.

Last gift was a VIP pass to Universal Halloween Horror Nights. Andrew and Dan went and had a blast, especially since they love the show Walking Dead and this was the first time the show had a terror tram and a maze. Plus Alice Cooper Goes to Hell and Silent Hill. So many cool things to see.

While they were off, me and my good friend Crystal went to Ralphs and FreshNeasy and got some supplies for a surprise party. I invited Dan´s and my friends over and around midnight, when the guys came back, we turned down the lights and once they were inside everyone yelled SURPRISE!!!!
It was a success, Dan was so surprised and thankful.

On his actual birthday i showed him a video of happy birthday in icelandic, english, japanese, spanish, hebrew, yiddish, finnish, swedish, danish, german, romanian and another video from his family and friends (and his favourite teachers), who couldnt be there on his birthday! He loved it!

In the evening me and Andrew took Dan to the Cheesecake Factory for dinner.
So delicious and a great ending to a great birthday week.

I´m happy everything worked out so well.
Thanks to everyone that helped!!!!
