Breaking Rules At The Magic Castle

Photography is forbidden inside the castle, but, well... I am a little obsessed with the bathrooms there! Each one is decorated in a different retro style: Old Hollywood, Victorian-era postcards, etc.
So, um, I lingered in the bathroom till all the other ladies finished adjusting their strapless dresses, powdering their noses and slicking on lip gloss.
The instant the door closed, I whipped out my phone and snapped a picture! Then I ran out the door, probably looking
After almost 11 years of fantasizing about getting in the Magic Castle, I've been there three times in 2009! Tonight I got to be the magician's assistant twice! Goodness, it was fun, and I really hope I get another chance to go, but just in case it doesn't happen, I have proof that I've been there in the, ahem, bathroom.
Why can't I just walk into the Magic Castle like I'm walking into Barnes & Noble? Well, you have to be a magician member to get into the castle, or get invited by a magician. That's probably a good thing because otherwise, I'd be sitting up in there every single night, trying to figure out how the very talented magicians do their tricks.
In the meantime, here's to hoping a lightning bolt doesn't come through the window to strike me dead for breaking the rules!

Btw, there's a little town outside Belfast called Holywood (pronounced Hollywood), but there aren't many celebs to be seen!
Stormont is lovely though. So full of history, and probably MUCH larger than our Magic Castle! You should be an extra in the movies. It's really fun to do so. I rarely see celebs in our Hollywood, either. They're always in other neighborhoods, like walking in Santa Monica or drinking coffee at a cafe in Los Feliz!
TKTC,
I like looking at it like that, like I'm being of service to you all! :) I hope you get to go sometime because it's very fun.
MH,
I'm not a member, so I can't get into some cool spots like the library. If you're not a member, you need an invitation card from a member to go. I hope I get to meet more magicians, one because their tricks are VERY cool, and two because I sooo want to go to the Magic Castle again!
I always try to make everything an adventure because who knows when I'll have the chance again, you know! :)
Jack,
You gotta figure out some way to get in there! It's really fantastic.
Go for it! It feels like the sort of place where it's pretty impossible to have a bad time!
LOL! Thank you! :)
