Los Angeles, I’m Yours
Bad things always happen to me in Hollywood. Belligerent drunks harassing me at dive bars. Canadian women rear-ending my car at a stop light. A red stop light. I still braved the trip out to catch Poketo’s Los Angeles I’m Yours show at Space 15 Twenty last Saturday. It was a conglomeration of flea market...
Downtown Dining: WoodSpoon
Finally got to try the famed chicken pot pie at WoodSpoon last week. And it was soooo good. I’m still thinking about it.
L.A. Dining: LudoBites at Akasha
After missing out on the Gram & Papa’s LudoBites, I finally got a hot ticket to last week’s LudoBites pop-up at Akasha in Culver City. Chef Ludo was in the flesh, getting pix-y with us, and tweeting to the Top Chef episode he was recently in. My favorite Top Chef Ludo-tweet of the evening:
My Muse, My Man: A Vegas-versary
April is BF’s and my anniversary, so when we found out Muse, one of our favorite bands, was playing last weekend in Vegas, we made a weekend of it. Did you know that BF made all the laser-ific-ness that is on their Knights of Cydonia video? I’ve loved them since my college years in the...
Snaps: Springtime in Silverlake
When the weather starts to warm up, I’m always in the mood for Mexican food. Casa was closed for Sundays (is nothing open downtown that day anymore?), so Malo it was. Snapped on my new Blackberry phone. I finally have a cell with an Internet connection!
French toast at Louie (Not fried chicken at the festival)
Were you someone that was NOT at the LA Street Food Fest? It goes without saying that the festival was a smashing success. It looked like everyone and their momma knew about it and decided to make their way downtown on Saturday. This was the line I found myself falling in when I walked over...
L.A. Weekend: Street Food at the Studios
Street food. (LA Center) Studios. Saturday. All the food trucks you could ever want will be at LACS this weekend for the LA Street Food Fest. Pretty cool spot for such an event, if you ask me. Not only do they shoot and produce movies and shows here (Mad Men, anyone? Also noticed it was...
L.A. Local: January Faves
The blog has been devoid of fresh content lately because I’ve been more or less a depressed hermit for the past few months. Since my birthday in November, it’s been a downhill mess of small business owner trials (will add minority business to that for dramatic effect), illnesses, etc. But enough negative talk. Things are...
2009 in L.A. (and Elsewhere), Uncut
2009 was not one of my better years, but it did have its moments, and I have to thank this blog for giving me some incentive to explore this city of mine. Here are a few shots from last year that never got their time here:
Downtown Dining: Big Man Bakes
Thank the good Lord we have cupcakes in downtown now. Not just cupcakes, but delicious, don’t-tell-anyone-but-I-get-eat-them-every-week cupcakes that are devoid of extraneous, frilly crap and condescendingly prissy women behind the counter. My favorites are the chocolate, natch, and the Old School. Here’s the Big Man himself, Chip in the current 944 mag. They currently offer...
A Hello Kitty, Hello Ro Birthday
Did you know that Hello Kitty and I have the same birthday? Royal/T in Culver City threw a big birthday bash in her honor, so I naturally went to steal what spotlight I could. It’s called Three Apples, which is apparently how much Hello Kitty weighs in fruit. Mmm hmm. Pretty much everywhere you turned,...
Fog, not smog?
The has been the look of the weather for the past few days. I loved it, naturally. Of course the blasted sun had to come in and ruin everything today.
