White Boy/White Dog Move To Skid Row

Certified Beach Dude Moves To Downtown Los Angeles

Every year but a couple has seen me get the blues starting around Thanksgiving and carrying through Christmas. It’s a deep-seated issue that started as an only child growing with parents that constantly invited all the aging old great-aunts and “family friends” over to spend a week around Thansgiving or Christmas. Sure, I [...]

The Old Bank District’s 1st Annual Block Party was a great way to get into the holiday party mood. Main St. and 4th St. were closed for a block, a beer/wine garden was set up, and a stage for bands was placed at the intersection. There also were bands back in Harlem Place alley [...]

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 [...]

Yesterday, Sunday the 2nd, was a great day. It rained rather gently in the morning, and made my morning White Dog walk very enjoyable. I was trying to decide what to do at mid-morning: hit the gym, take Isis to Lofty Dog Indoor Dog Park, or eat breakfast and sleep some more. [...]

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 [...]

If you’ve read my blog for any amount of time, you know I get annoyed with the street closures and “take overs” of City Hall grassy areas by marches for (insert country name here) Independance Days, or Stop The War marches, etc. But I just heard of a march that’s coming in a couple [...]

I just got back from a White Dog walk- and running into a huge street closure/parade on Broadway that was causing traffic snafus all around Main St. and Spring St. What was the party for? Columbus Day… ok, now I am all for a good excuse to party, but this looked like one [...]

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 [...]
