The Early Bird Gets the Wine...

After months of refusing to go to the LA Art Walk (last time I went was in October) I finally went for the March one... And I figured out how to make it not suck: Get there early! It's not crowded, there is still some free wine, and there is actual people looking at the art! Above art by Devon Paulson at Los Angeles Center for Digital Art Gallery. The photo above does not do the art work justice... go check it out. Show closes May 5. Next artwalk this next Thursday... Duh! I thought it was this week.

Tearist @ The Standard Hotel

The Standard Hotel in Downtown LA threw its "fifth incarnation of the Series, a multidisciplinary mish-mash of art, dance, music, poetry, theater and clowning (yes, clowning)"*. And since Tearist was going to be part of it, of course we went! Duh.


First set done.

The true story of Monday February 28 and March 1. March 2 someone crashed into my car but only my pride got hurt... The bestest* sister below, you could hear the local cops on the Spanish tv (above).

L.A. Lottery League -The Big Show

L.A. Lottery League -The Big Show February 26. 48 Musicians from 27 bands were picked at random by the Council of Chiefs to form 12 new bands. And let me tell ya! The results were awesome! However, it was one cold, cold, cold night but after eating some tacos while walking it was perfect. Outside shot:

Party time! Making it rain!



Burn that fake money!
"If you grew up with holes in your zapatos. You'd celebrate the minute you was havin dough"...

Gotta check that tele:

Overheard someone say "This place is dry, they are selling fucking milk"...lol.

Peacefully waiting... for a new band to form!

Mad scientist, I mean Council of Chiefs.

Bye, bye, beautiful boy.


Goodnight. Gotta catch the last Blue Line.
