Trace just got back from Japan with a new hairdo and these amazing pocket sized flashes that sync to the flash on your camera. Harnessing light in the palm of your hand is what I can only assume it feels like to be a cop or maybe Jesus… 

 Mid flight.

Vava is one of my favorite photographers he came to town to work on a new book project. I met Vava when I was a scared little kid in NYC. I have learned a lot from him over the years and would probably have a very different career if we had not met and more importantly if he hadn’t taken me under his wing.

Blake is home from tour and has posted a new AMAZING song… He is now getting ready to head off to NYC to defend his title belt in a guitar shred off… (seriously)

I’m really liking this.

.

Its good to be alive.

Hope Gallery had another awesome opening. Cali continues to do it for the “kids” and he’s got to be almost a hundred…

I’m not on the east side very often so its always special when I run into people like Rene who remind me that the world has way more amazing people in it than one would think. Rich Dad. Poor Dad.

Dawes played last week. If you’re a single guy in Los Angeles looking for a hot rich white teenage girlfriend you should be at these shows…

Jordan is now legal… 

Friday I finally made it to the Getty Center. No Age played in the courtyard.

The 405 at 3pm already sucking.

Arlie was the man behind some how convincing the Getty that it would be a good idea for No Age to play.

The paintings were cool but I much preferred watching other people look at them.

Documenting the hunt. Photos of people taking photos of people taking photos…

Again. Photos of photos…

No Age bringing it to the kids and bumming out the old people. The circle of life continues.

The view in Los Feliz

The view in Los Feliz featuring the one and only Matt Murphy.

Matt Murphy’s lady friend had to protect him from Spike who was pretty intent on trying out some of his new UFC moves on the all of us.

Danielle Levitt was in town shooting the new Warriors of Radness catalog.

Sam came over to show me how he was taking control of summer. Notice the sandals.

Sam perfecting greatness.

Awash and I went shopping for meat.

The “Blogfather” was on the west side for the same reason I was meat shopping.Happy Birthday Lysa Cooper!

Let this be my annual reminder that we can all be something bigger.
