The Walkmen @ The Echoplex

2007-04-29T16:25:46Z

It was kind of like a dream. You know the one where you're in a familiar location—the house you grew up in or a relative's home—and you know the place very well, except there are doors or hallways where they shouldn't be and the whole layout of th...

Yes, I am alive

2007-04-12T17:12:05Z

Not posting to a blog snowballs over time, because then you feel like you're under pressure to come up with something really good. So I'm expressly deciding that this post will not be good. But here's an update: Got bogged down with work respon...

So You Want To Be An Actor

2007-01-07T16:52:14Z

Last night we met a friend for dinner at Malo. She brought along some friends that were visiting from New York. They brought a friend who has been in L.A. for 5 months. We did an informal around-the-table canvas of what everyone does: tv producer,...

QotD: I'd Like To Thank...

2006-12-20T15:41:18Z

Congrats - TIME Magazine voted you "Person of the Year"! What's your acceptance speech? I'm afraid there's been some kind of mistake. I didn't win it, you did. (boo)

Birthday on the Westside

2006-12-16T17:34:52Z

I'm not sure why our downtown-dwelling friend KC chose to have her birthday party 20 miles away in Westwood. There's no good way to get there from Los Feliz on a Friday night, so we met up with the party at the end of a Persian dinner, in time for...

Beck @ The Echo

2006-12-11T01:02:10Z

Years ago, I managed to score tickets to a surprise Beck show at The Knitting Factory in Hollywood. It was a great show (Elliott Smith walked right past my girlfriend — that's how long ago it was). We figured that was the last time we would see Be...

The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Rosebush

2006-11-13T15:31:28Z

We took a walk through our neighborhood Sunday afternoon, and as we were making our way home, my girlfriend suggested we detour down a little-traveled street parallel to ours. We were approaching a house with a fence made of vertical bars around i...

QotD: OS Preference

2006-11-07T18:25:48Z

Windows, Mac, Linux - What's your preference and why? Submitted by ramblingsbymark. I've used a Mac since my dad brought the little beige 128K Mac home in 1984. I used to go with him to Mac User Group meetings at UCSD, and fall asleep until the ...

Voxtrot @ The Troubadour

2006-11-02T17:10:22Z

No, not Vox. And no, not Trott. [1] Voxtrot. As in that hip new brit pop band out of Austin, TX that sounds like Belle and Sebastian, The Smiths, and every other hugely adored indie band you can think of. We bought tickets the day of, and fuck y...

Wine Pairings @ Cobras and Matadors

2006-10-31T17:27:14Z

They originally billed it as a wine tasting, but by the time we arrived at Cobras and Matadors just a few blocks from our house last night, it had been reworded as a Wine Pairing. This was their first event, basically a prix fixe menu of some of ...
