White Boy/White Dog Move To Skid Row

Certified Beach Dude Moves To Downtown Los Angeles

This sounds like a good idea, especially in these terrible economic times. It became all the more real today as there was a large lay-off at my clients yesterday- all of Accounts Payable was let go (it was outsourced to corporate parent-company), including people who had worked for the company for close to 30 [...]

If you’re looking for a fun place to watch the election results on a historical night, head over to The Edison for some fun- The Edison opens at 5pm with it’s usually happy hour specials (40% off on all drinks), and at 8pm the Cousecast party begins ($5 donation suggested, 100% of which is donated [...]

Just a few tidbits from last night- I swear it was one of the best nights of Halloween, which in turn are some of the best nights of my life. I went to college at CU (University of Colorado, Boulder) where on Halloween the thing to do was to take large amounts of “magic [...]

Downtown dwellers without dogs are going to feel a little left out this year, as two of the best parties are for DOGS! I am a big fan of Halloween- didn’t used to be, as in college I pretty much worked every Halloween as a doorman at a club (no costume allowed there), but [...]

I really hadn’t seen or heard much about the event (still don’t know what songs Bon Jovi played). I guess I’ll get more info next time I go to The Edison, but a fellow Higgins resident took these pics with a little “point-and-shoot” camera- I think they turned out pretty good. Looks like [...]

I just recieved an e-mail to the “normal” Edison e-mail marketing list, announcing:
“Come Be a part of History at the The Edison Saturday October 4th ”
“Apearances by Jon Bonjovi & Richie Sambora and other Special Guest”
Is there a lack of interest in this event, as it seems a little late for this announcement. And [...]

It’s funny how things converge when living downtown- I was just talking with Rick- lead singer/guitar of the band Collinz Room (and bartender-extraordinaire at The Edison), about his gig at J-Lounge tomorrow night (Collinz Band will hit the stage at 8pm for a 1 hour set). Rick is a very cool guy, and does [...]

Thursday night from 6pm to 9pm, dozens of dogs and their owners invaded J-Lounge’s 10,000 sq ft outdoor patio for a Fur-Licious party thrown by Pussy and Pooch- the upscale dog botique that has many social events for pets.
This was their second Fur-Licious event- I had missed the first one but really wanted [...]

Early Saturday evening I was at The Far Bar for a couple of plates of sliders and a Sapporo beer. It was early still, and I was mostly b.s.ing with the bartenders Sky and Edgar, when a guy come over and asked if I worked out at LA Athletic Club- I said yes, and [...]

As I arrived home today my elevator ride was interrupted by a kid in a Pitfire Pizza t-shirt getting on at 6th floor and getting off at 7th- kind of pissed me off, as I generally believe in the rule “walk up one and down two” that usually prevails around elevators. I saw he [...]
