Special thanks to Caryn over at art.blogging.la, who posted about the Invader-theft yesterday, as well as the cool cats over at visualresistance.org (my new favorite blog) who totally “get” how depressing it is when someone rips off cool street art. Blogging.la posted a mini-blurb of the situation here, reacting to that Klaxon-call over at flickr. […]

Dave recently switched from beer to wine. But as a long-time drinker, he makes the transition easily. Wine has twice the alcohol of beer, but it’s still half that of, say, Grey Goose. Still, he can put the stuff away, so it comes as no surprise to anyone that at Amoebapalooza last Sunday (which I […]
Just thought you all might be interested in a few random snapshots. I’m on my dinner break on Wednesday. It’s rush hour. As always at this time of day there’s a ton of activity in the neighborhood. So I wander around in the ninety-degree heat and click away. This is looking down from the CNN […]
Last night I had a prophetic dream. In this dream I was cycling in the Tour de France. It was a hot day. And I learned that the race is not that anywhere as gruelng as the media would like us to believe. I was surprised at how easily I overtook Lance. Especially on the […]
I park my car on the top level of the CNN parking lot when I go to work even though there are scores of lower spaces. The only reason I do this is because when I return to it later, I do so beneath the night sky.
Yesterday at work I meet a fetching woman with a voice like a wisp of silk who reminds me of a far more attractive Joey Lauren Adams. I try to help her think of some cool, guitar-based music for her to use as temp tracks in a film, although it’s more that I talk to […]
First of all, I had no idea other people lived around me. I thought those other fifteen doors were storage units. Second, this is a bit of an exaggeration. I only play music, like SIX nights a week, and only until about four thirty or so. Not ALL night. Don’t they even have clocks? Third, […]
This morning I walk down Martel, across to Fuller, down to Santa Monica to Trader Joe’s on my way to work. On the way, I see this sign. It makes me sad. I pause to look at the cat, and linger just a second, remembering a stray I once adopted named Mooch, and I think […]
I’m on my dinner break from work. I drive home. I eat something. I want to lie down, but instead, I’ll tell you a slightly amusing story that in no way has anything to do with meerkats. Which is too bad, because I think meerkats are funny. Over a year ago I DJ a wedding. […]
Taking ecstasy is like this: You swallow a small pill. After anywhere from fifteen minutes to an hour you look down at the table in front of you and you think, “Wow. What are all these marbles?” They’re arranged in a neat little pile, glossy, irridescent and shot through with color. Thanks to the little […]

Now there’s something you don’t see too often: an empty street in front of the Cinerama Dome. Today is a blur. Hundreds upon hundreds of new movies, not enough people to drop them into shelves, phones ringing off the hook (“Mezzanine, lines 2,4 AND 7 are for you…”) and through it all this damned ringing […]

Sara makes fun of me tonight because I’m waxing ecstatic over the unexpected release of the old Sting film, Bring On The Night. It’s a cool flick, part document’ry, part concert film, capturing Sting during his Dream of The Blue Turtles phase. Somewhere after The Soul Cages, Sting got insufferably boring, but back then he […]

One of the studios hires the Goodyear Blimp to congratulate its nominees while a plane tugs an Entertainment Tonight banner around the Kodak theater.

I sit down at Groundwork on Sunset and Cahuenga as I often do in the hour or so before work. I’d just hurried through a fierce rain squall to get there, but now that I’m pulling out my notebook, sun streams across my table. That’s the way the weather’s been lately here in L.A. Even […]
