Certified Beach Dude Moves To Downtown Los Angeles

Ha Ha!  My Mom sent this to me and said “too good not to share”, so I’m sharing…

Hey Wonton- I saw your Q&A session on your blog (213) Dog and wanted to join in
My owner (skidrowdude- Eric) will do the transcription for me, Isis as I can’t type anything that you would understand (walking on the keyboard is not very accurate).
1. Your age?
I was born on July 3rd, 2006, so I am 14 months old- still [...]

An immigraton Rally In Support Of Elvira Arellano, a Mexican national from Chicago who has already been deported once and was sent back to Mexico a second time.  The interesting part of this story is that she left her 8 year old son with the minister of a church in Chicago- he is a citizen [...]

I am going crazy- I wake up this morning and see 3 stories about potential dog abuse.  Britney just bought this little dog and appears to use it as a “fashion accessory” - now it is in a cast?  What the hell?  I am too much of an animal lover to not get emotional about these [...]

THEN, they are doing ”facade” work on my building, [...]

The parade had some very interesting floats and [...]

I just ran across this news- Will Smith and Charlize Therone are filming a movie at Cafe Pinot (a pretty good restuarant here in downtown).  They CLOSED the entire restaurant from Monday through Thursday to do the filming, and the staff gets NO pay.  I think I’m going to boycott the whole Patina Restaurant Group [...]

Saturday night a friend and I went to  Yatsuhashi, based on the recommendation of my hair stylist- Don Ho who has his shop in the New Otani Hotel, above the Starbucks.  I trust this gentleman as he has been in Little Tokyo for ages, and I asked him where to go that was a little [...]
