| Chicken Boy, The Statue of Liberty of Los Angeles |
Did you read it? See? He really is an L.A. icon!
Thank you, Amy Inouye for rescuing The Boy. Seriously, you should be given a Los Angeles Preservation Award for Roadside Attractions. Larry and I have a strong fondness for The Boy. His body and his bucket resided in our backyard for a number of years before his resurrection to Figueroa Boulevard (aka Route 66), atop Future Studio in historic Highland Park.
On with the show! There were so many wonderful depictions of CB, that I simply could not post them all here. You must call Future Studio and see this show! Here are a few pieces:

My most remarkable Chicken Boy moment happened a number of years ago. I was packing up and getting ready to leave the Guilford Courthouse re-enactment in Greensboro. This is where we re-enact the Revolutionary War battle that took place there. I had on a Checken Boy tee shirt and as I was getting ready to leave, one of the participants stpped me and asked me about the teeshirt. He was from California and had come all the way to North Carolina to be at the re-enactment. He was also a Checken Boy enthusiast. He told me that Checken Boy was the last thing he expected to see here in North Carolina. All Hail Checken Boy!
Congratulations on your anniversery! You have a life filled with love and Art. It doesn't get much better than that.
Awww...thanks Kenny, my sweet brother! I must replenish your CB t-shirt supply soon! Looking forward to your visit to LA so you can see CB in person!
Stu and Amy are two reasons why we live in Los Angeles....and Chicken Boy makes three.
Yes, Stuart and Amy are the BEST!
