I love how so many of your bars play TCM! Did Paramount tour, Hollywood Forever tour, the Dresden with Marty and Elaine (I thought they would be better but the Dresden was amazing). Visited Echo Park (last time it was under construction), Amoeba, Cat & Fiddle, Ye Rustic Inn, the Last Bookstore, and Skylight Books. There was too long a wait at Daikokuya so we ate at Suehiro Cafe in Little Tokyo, which I thought was really good. We also went to the Brewery Arts Complex, where it was interesting to snoop around peoples studios/homes. My sister drove me around the Arts District as well.

I love L.A.! But it was really hot. I hope to come back for a longer visit in February.

If you're willing to go into Highland Park, you might also try the Greyhound. I think it's just beer and wine, though.

What's the deal with Nico Vega? Never heard of them until tonight but "I Believe (Get Over Yourself)" sounds like it become potentially big here in Europe

Capt. Steve Tufts oversaw a fire engine that responded to the blaze from an LAFD station on 51st Street in South LA.

"It reminded me of the '80s," Tufts said. "When you got that bare wood. It burns. It burns good."

"It reminded me of the '80s; the kind of phrasing you remember being used by singers like Bruce Springsteen, the classic rock era," Tufts said. "When you got that bare wood / It burns / It burns good."

"It reminded me of the '80s; the kind of phrasing you remember being used by comedians like John Candy, the classic TV comedy era," Tufts said. "When you got that bare wood / It burns / It burns good."

Saw Nico Vega as an opener a couple years back... LA is good at producing these kinds of schlocky-alternative bands that are histrionic enough to hold your attention for a bit. Didn't mind them, but I couldn't remember any of the songs.

i am 99.999 percent certain this was arson -- could be a rival developer, a pissed-off tenant, even an inside job.
