Jeremy - The Langham is on Normandie, fyi. I lived at the Langham for 4 years. What do you want to know?

Email me if it's extensive so we don't trespass here. But one piece of music trivia for you: A famous jazz guitarist drowned in the rooftop pool in 1984.

Serious L.A. hipster action at the Silverlake Lounge tonight. One-time poster Leslie (as in she made a single post, once) will be playing with Pink Grenade along with Gogogo Airheart and les Messieurs du Rock.

I will be going home tonight and maybe slapping a disk into my player, if there's nothing good on TV.

A girl on drugs was found defecating in the Echo's kitchen, two weeks ago

― gygax! (gygax!), Wednesday, 21 July 2004 20:53 (nineteen years ago) link

I really enjoyed All Night Radio at a show once.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Wednesday, 21 July 2004 20:55 (nineteen years ago) link

WHAT IS THE LETTER RATING OF ECHO?!?!?!

― gygax! (gygax!), Wednesday, 21 July 2004 20:57 (nineteen years ago) link

I should've posted that anonymously. If they find out I tattled I will track down every ilxer and lock them in a room with Lamya looped forever

― Thea (Thea), Wednesday, 21 July 2004 20:58 (nineteen years ago) link

a mall Chinese place across the street from my office was shut down for a few days by the health inspector for "Harborage of Vermin"!

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Wednesday, 21 July 2004 20:59 (nineteen years ago) link

"Harborage"? What was it, the vermin underground railroad?

― Thea (Thea), Wednesday, 21 July 2004 21:01 (nineteen years ago) link

What does "prevention of entrance" mean?

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Thursday, 22 July 2004 16:35 (nineteen years ago) link

Haven't you heard of "Operation Gatekeeper"? Even Mexican ratons and cucarachas aren't allowed in no matter how good they are at gardening, bussing tables and child-minding. That's fukked up

― Thea (Thea), Thursday, 22 July 2004 18:29 (nineteen years ago) link

― bill stevens (bscrubbins), Thursday, 22 July 2004 18:33 (nineteen years ago) link

it's several night, though

― Sir Chaki McBeer III (chaki), Sunday, 25 July 2004 06:21 (nineteen years ago) link

Antibalas just makes me gnash my teeth that I never made it to Lagos before Fela passed on to the great Harem in the Sky

― Thea (Thea), Tuesday, 27 July 2004 18:19 (nineteen years ago) link

I can't even see any damn shows for three weeks because I'm working 11am to 2am, ain't that great?

― Gear! (Gear!), Tuesday, 27 July 2004 18:22 (nineteen years ago) link

we'll throw some extra sweat around for you at !!!

― Thea (Thea), Tuesday, 27 July 2004 18:24 (nineteen years ago) link

and I'm really craving dinner at the Red Lion Tavern! but dammit I'm stuck with Trader Joe's frozen crap.

ahh thanks Thea

― Gear! (Gear!), Tuesday, 27 July 2004 18:26 (nineteen years ago) link

if i combined Red Lion sausage with !!! i might not survive. i plan to stick to a blueberry smoothie with an extra shot of power-boost

― Thea (Thea), Tuesday, 27 July 2004 18:28 (nineteen years ago) link

the Red Lion has very paranoid waitresses, I've noticed. You get up to wander outside for a smoke and they sort of follow you.

― Gear! (Gear!), Tuesday, 27 July 2004 18:31 (nineteen years ago) link

What're they worried about, sausage-smuggling?

― Thea (Thea), Tuesday, 27 July 2004 18:34 (nineteen years ago) link

I'm always trying to sneak out sausages, true.

And I think the keyboard karaoke guy creates an atmosphere of distrust.

― Gear! (Gear!), Tuesday, 27 July 2004 18:38 (nineteen years ago) link

Now it is good that this all been revived because there's a tentative FAP plan for Saturday.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 27 July 2004 18:43 (nineteen years ago) link

Ned are you personally attending or sending your double? The one from the Devendra show, I mean. It'll affect my decision.

― Thea (Thea), Tuesday, 27 July 2004 19:02 (nineteen years ago) link

Haha -- hopefully me. Here is the thread in question:

LA FAP July 31 -- _Can't Stop the Music_ and _The Apple_ screening

I'm not sure that's the right date...says Wed 7/28

― Thea (Thea), Tuesday, 27 July 2004 19:10 (nineteen years ago) link

*coughs* You're not reading the entries correctly. Please scroll ahead to Saturday the 31st.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 27 July 2004 19:11 (nineteen years ago) link

How do you spell "Thea"?

A-D-H-D
