White Boy/White Dog Move To Skid Row

Certified Beach Dude Moves To Downtown Los Angeles

I must have missed the e-memo about this March- no big deal, in fact, I smiled a little when I saw this and I was not stuck in traffic nor trying to cut through the March with White Dog.

Purely for professional reasons I will be attending the CA NORML (National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws) Protest of the Federal War on Medical Marijuana- scheduled for Noon at the Federal Courthouse (312 N. Spring St but protest is at Main St. entrance).
My current client, who owns 3 medical marijuana clinics, is [...]

Yesterday was the National day for City Hall “No on Proposition 8″ rallys, and downtown Los Angeles had a well-attended, and well-organized rally (in all fairness, attended by many straight folks too). On my 8am White Dog walk around City Hall, the steps were already full of protestors, and there were 2 stages set-up [...]

As I get near Spring St., [...]

Fiesta Broadway went off yesterday without a hitch, but with far less than the number of expected attendees (500,000 was predicted by event organizers, but LAPD estimates put the number at closer to 150,000.  For me, there were no problems at all from the event- the sound check from the stage at 1st and Broadway [...]

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 [...]
