I don't really start threads, but there should maybe be a Defend the Indefensible for people who back into parking spaces.

I backed into my own driveway just now

You can of course do what you like in your own driveway. I'm talking about in crowded parking lots with people waiting.

I don't think we use "Defend The Indefensible" anymore, Spencer. Showing your age ;)

so i just learned about the existence of the doodah parade, which is next weekend. my impression is that this is basically socal's mermaid parade?

You are correct.

x-postDunnoh about the mermaid parade, but DooDah's been going since '78 or so. Basically a zany parade, that seems a little tamer than it used to be.

Pretty sure I have been there, and it is good, but been so long I don't remember the exact dishes I tried. I went with the LA Asian Foodies Meetup group, which I recommend for finding restaurants. Most events are in the San Gabriel Valley, Little Tokyo, and Koreatown.

Liked seeing the different geographies in my Twitter stream light up as the tow truck chase went through Hollywood, and then Glendale

― y'tulip, y'pea-brained earwig (donna rouge), Wednesday, 25 April 2012 19:04 (twelve years ago) link
Yes! It was great. You should have gone. Etc.
Fave musical part was Barbara Manning channeling Neil Young's "Arc" guitar sound. Fave part was the Dunedin pub built from scratch specifically for the show. The pho place next door was also noteworthy.
This may have been my favorite show of the week.

next weekend would be better for me to serenade you all with my voice of death.
― Hellhamster 2: Hamster Smashed Face (J3ff T.), Monday, 7 May 2012 19:51 (twelve years ago) link
And that would be a vision.
I could not do karaoke, however! Earlier on the 19th I will be in town for the Will Sergeant exhibition:

As noted he's at the gallery both on the 18th and 19th; our OC bunch is doing the 19th one as it's better for our schedule.
― Ned Raggett, Monday, 7 May 2012 19:56 (twelve years ago) link
I'll be at the opening on the 18th (works better for my schedule). It's a cool gallery, same place the Natty Brooker/SP3 art exhibition was a couple years ago.

Conflicting shows tonight though. I really want to go see Stan Ridgway out at Pappy & Harriets. I also want to see White Hills at the Echo and Devo too of course, but I have to go to LAX tonight and so Devo it is.
