Friends,
And I’m talking mainly to those in and around Los Angeles right now. The rest of you can listen if you like.
Instead of seeing New Moon (David rolls his eyes very dramatically).
In two days, the Laemmle Royal Theatre (and another Laemmle theater in Encino) will open That Evening Sun. That Evening Sun was written, directed, [...]

On Coffee Jitters and Hobo Trade Shows
Posted in Uncategorized on November 11, 2009 | 3 Comments »
Friends,
I just left IHOP, where I drank two full pots of their coffee. I know what you’re going to say, and yes, I am a health nut.
I haven’t posted lately, but I’ve been pretty busy. I’ve been working almost every day at any of the four places I’m currently employed. Take that recession! I’ve also [...]

Friends,
I’m not trying to tall tale or exaggerate or cause any trouble here, but it has been really windy today! Man! I mean reeeeaaaalllly windy. I love it. It actually feels like autumn in LA. Weekend work makes today my Saturday, so I’ve spent all day co’oped at home with winds eroding the canyon-side all [...]

Friends,
Tonight, you better not be missing out on the Haunted Corn Maze, or haunted maize maze. It’s gonna be a bloodbath! Pictures soon?
Today, this Russian I work with said to me, “David, you look old for 27 because you are losing hair. And you’re always so serious.”
Thanks, blunt Russian who covers his frankness with translation [...]

Friends,
Apologies if you took me up on my request last post. I gave directions to friends and secret admirers to swing by where I worked to say hello. And I was truly looking forward to the possibility of a friend stopping by. THEN, the very day I was scheduled, the brass transfered my management to [...]

Friends,
Man. These days I’ve been busy as a painter…who gets lots of work and deadlines. But it’s the good kind of busy; I need hours at work, and they’re giving it to me (i.e. A woman walks into a bar, she ask the bartender for a “double entendre”, so the bartender gave it to her).
My [...]
On Art-Walking

Friends,
Last night me and my brother drove downtown for the downtown Art Walk. I love going to this. All the people, the wine, the food-trucks, the art. You walk around look at art, drink free wine, and all in all, art-walk. This is what living in the city is all about. I know I’ve had [...]

Friends,
In my travels I’ve met some people…
Part One
ONE SUCH PEOPLE holds court in the LA-muthafuckin’-PD. He works on the vice squad and also happens to be THIS CLOSE to getting his MA in philosophy. Cool guy.
So, naturally, when I required information on the gang situation in downtown Los Angeles, I initiated correspondence. He told me [...]
On Chinatown*

Friends,
There’s this coffeeshop in Pasadena my friend, a brunette, told me about. So, since I spend Monday afternoons driving around this beautiful LA getaway consumed in post-therapy (introversion? clarity? stupor? relief? indifference? wandering? should-a-could-a’s?) David-world**, I found the coffee shop today and have been there a few hours now. The place is awesome. What’s the [...]
On Stranger’s Weddings

Friends,
I work a lot of events in a lot of capacities. It’s good work I feel when I’m done. (I should note, part of what makes event work good work is knowing it’s not permanent.) Not surprisingly the most frequent event work comes in the shape of weddings. And, I’m not gonna lie, I’ve had [...]
