I meant to take a picture of the weed store by The Great American Music Hall. It's a cliche but seeing the signs are still a novelty for travelers from the liberal, but slightly more uptight northeast. Or of the stunning landscapes that always make me wonder if I should spend a few months living here sometime. Even of the perfectly poached eggs and avocado Amanda and I had over breakfast.

Instead I have a picture of Psycho Dave, which is exciting in it's own way.

Dave's a good tour roommate. Especially since I like my alone time and he likes experiencing the local culture, often discovering new bars and friends. (I'm usually a good wingwoman for him but have an 8 AM flight tomorrow). Dave also has the ability to randomly talk to someone outside of the hotel and it happens to be Greg Dahl, our good friend Bart's brother.

Sadly, I'm only visiting team WKAP for a few shows, but they were a nice warm up/preview for many in this family and community.

Staying @ The Clift makes me thing of Northeastern University St. Stephen Street dorm alum, Ron Almgren who apparently is not a concierge here anymore. Where are you Ron? Find me on a social network or two!

See you in Brooklyn tomorrow.

Good Morning from L.A.

I've never been much of an LA fan. The cars, the smog, the fake tits, etc.

However, whenever I'm in town, I'm reminded of Katie Kay, Josh Frankfort, avocados, sushi, pools, sunshine, and gorgeous views such as the one provided by our amazing lodging.

And although fictional, Frances McDormand's house/studio in Laurel Canyon RULES.

From Lolla to LaLa Land

Radiohead and NIN were amazing as usual and all that. Bri and I have seen NIN around 30 times (I'll get an official number at some point). They're kind of a jam-band sometimes. Seriously.

But I was way more excited to hang with peeps like Sabrina, Mommy White, BriAnna Olson (aka Trent Reznor's soulmate), and the always lovely Matt and Jenny.
