nascar in my backyard

kinda. the long beach grand prix is already howling downtown and my 3 1/2 mile buffer doesn't seem to be enough. sweet. instead of hitting the circuit with the rest of so. cal's race fans this weekend, we're going to skip town for the day and go on a hike.

the bf has been telling me about a hike off the ortega hwy in the cleveland national forest for a long time so i figured what better time to go? i've never been there, flowers are blooming, weather isn't too hot yet and best of all....no car noise. i'm game.

after this adventure, we'll come home to a free show @ my local (and two blocks away!) record store, fingerprints, to see dios malos preform. maybe hit up some sushi after...call it a day. i'm still a little under the weather from that nasty bug that got me earlier in the week so i'm laying off the bevy's. =I

sunday- guerrilla gardening with the crew in lb for a gift back to the mother we call earth. she takes a lot of shit from us humans. good to hook her up from time to time.

langhorne slim

WOW. what a serendipitous day. it all started when i ventured to san pedro to pick up some muy delicioso cerviche @ Baja Fish. i ran into my pal Vinney Vegas who i haven't seen in ages. we caught up and before i left, i reminded him i was dj'ing next wed in LB. he then told me our mutual friend told him about "this really amazing band playing @ Fingerprints tonight". humm...been awhile since i've see a show there. maybe i'll check it out.....

on my way home over the bridges, i received a text from another friend i was trying to link up with for work. he wrote me about this "quirky/folky ramblin' rock (band) with souped up Americana sensations- Langhorne Slim". now two randoms in one day means i must go! and go i did. what a treat. these four guys have a unique, backwoods, soulful sound i totally embrased. i can't wait to check them again @ the Troubadour in Nov. until then, i have the memories.

cheers to serendipity. and cheers to that light fixture above the stage! every time i see a show here i'm reminded what a cool lamp that is. the light it creates is nothing short of brilliant. it reminded me how much i wanted the Vava from Ikea.

all that and a bag of chips

just picked up my copy at the local record store. real nice. sick beats. i'm happy.

BB show...

good vibe in there.

they're plaing again tomorrow night @ Que Sera in long beach @ the Good Foot.
Dj Nobody too.
