I bet Holl, cause last time your trip sucked a big of dicks.\" Very eloquently put by Christi, but how else would you describe Holly's LA experience? Well you're going to need to find some even filthier language because as the ALDC returns to the City of Stars, it's only going to get worse. \"Hollywood, Round 2\" isn't all that dissimilar to round one.
