Los Angeleees, Black Francis style.
There should be a prize for presenting your town right, and said prize should be large, and valuable, and perhaps filled with creamy nugget. Said prize should then be given to maximillian, maxx, miami, scopitone, willem, mobprod, kaaaaaaaaahn and margo_dent. They showed me a side of L.A. that I did not know existed the awesome side.
Ill try to relay the awesome as best I can, wedged into a coach-seat on what will now be known as Romper Room AirLines.
Day one involved a bit of fine espionage as max arrived to gather me up at LAX on his birthday to find me accompanied by a very small, blond, funny looking sky cap. After closer inspection he discovered that it was not a sky cap at all but instead a hot chick with faux mutten chops hastily pasted to her perfect cheekbones. It seemed he would be experiencing more birthday makeouts than he had previously expected (infinitely more), and the world was well.
Later, there was a junta of unprecedented awesome to occur at Nick and Stefs steak house. The FAM and I, with the addition of a young lady who is worthy and then some, consumed a pile of meat that Evil Kanievel couldnt jump, along with a couple of gimlets.
We felt the crew should be documented on photograph, but I must warn you that if there are small children present, you might want to overt their eyes because the rest of their now trite existence would be pure buzzkill and disappointment.
We met up with willem and tegan, later on at a nice low-key pub and B.Sed about Canada and how much I want to be it; like all the time.
"My grandfather gave me this tie." - miami
",and so I said - you wouldn't take a dead salmon to a chess tournament, what are you doing with that melon baller!? - buahaha haha .. he.. hoooooo"
Saturday - scavenger hunt, Blackwards!, Crystal Meth-Tai Chi, the Arclight, Amoeba Music (best. Store. Ever), a stripclub that reminded me of Jr. High, and making fun of a hypothetical dead homeless man in front of a live homeless man (oops).
"sha, depth perception is sooooo five minutes ago" - scopitone
Sunday - sleep, food, Chinatown, driving, dude, hookers!, Chinatown, Ye Olde Rustic Tavern, Led Zepplin, Jeager with the guy from Gleaming the Cube, Ohio... Ohhhhhhhh, HIO!
Monday - Mercedes Benz, Ohio?, Breakfast at Swingers, sleep, vat kids? Oh, dats your baby, Cuba, that was only a dollar, I think I robbed the place, tube racing RATTA TAT TAT, then scopitone and I saw the shotguns.
Tuesday, quality time with AWESOME PEOPLE, Airport, sushi then back to the airport.
Now Im uncomfortably speeding home to Detroit, enamored with the people and places Ive just been. It was only a few days, but it certainly seemed longer. Huge thanks to all of my many hosts, and my spontaneous traveling companion. I had a great weekend. There were a couple people I didnt get to see, and everyone who I would have liked to spend more time with, youre always welcome here.
Next on the Jet-settenda..
PDX! Woot.
