Universal Studios Citywalk Tree Lighting

A couple weeks ago I went up to Universal Studios on the day they held the Christmas Parade / Tree Lighting Event at City Walk.

I got there early enough to watch them get the stage set up before spending a few hours in the theme park. I must say that the War of the Worlds set is particularly breathtaking near sunset.

They also happened to be filming CSI on the front lot as our tram rolled by. I got a look at an interesting set piece. I think it’s part of a bathroom. xD

After nightfall I made my way back over to the stage at Citywalk.

Cody Simpson was the featured performer after Miss Ariana Grande had to pull out due to scheguling conflicts.

18 year old singer Jasmine V was also scheguled to perform but pulled out at the last minute because she wasn’t feeling well. She did still make an aperance though, and I got to meet her. =]

Jasmine also played Justin Bieber’s love interest in his “Baby” video (see below). That guy sure has a thing for older chicks, doesn’t he?

I also saw Leon Thomas of Victorious and his pal Christian Fortune there. The funny thing is they didn’t even know the event was going on. xD
