Bad Bank
More word on the Atwater Village Farmers market closure. I spoke with a rep from Eric Garcetti’s office this morning and he said they were aware of the issue and were actively working to arrange a meeting between the bank manager and the farmers market organizers. I also contacted The LA Times, Metblog LA, The Los Feliz Ledger, and I left a message for the Wells Fargo bank manager, Ricardo Villareal. His number is 323-663-8024.
Email Arsen Melikyan in Eric Garcetti’s office and let him know you’re concerned about this threat to our Farmer’s Market. Also, feel free to give Ricardo a call and at least leave him a message that you’re calling about the Farmer’s Market…if you get him on the horn, then by all means, be nice.

Water Water Everywhere…. “Water, water, everywhere,
And all the boards did shrink;
Water, water, everywhere,
Nor any drop to drink.”

An extended version of Bon Iver’s La Blogotheque Take Away Show of “For Emma, Forever Ago” with three versions of the song and some very startled tourists. I think this is one of my favorite things in the whole world. Not just that the song is so beautiful, and is so beautifully sung, but that [...]
So, This Stephen Malkmus-looking Guy Who Went to High School with My Boss Wrote a Children’s BookA man once said, “Childrens do learn.” and I believe childrens should learn to dream big dreams. Even better is to dream arty dreams like a hipster might draw. This hipster author’s name is Dallas Clayton. Although I do not know for sure that Dallas Clayton is a hipster, he looks like this: And, I [...]
Matilde UrrutiaIt isn’t simply that you are loved gloriously, or loved beautifully. But rather that a pitch perfect expression of love for you sounds and sounds, Rises into the very air. Though the love itself may fade, I do not know, The poetry you inspire ascends, ascending Becomes stars and you, who are so loved, Look [...]

“Yes, It Is Conceivable That We Could” – Opus MoreschiPlease go to Moveon.org and vote for this 30 second Obama spot that my friend Opus had barely anything to do with. I don’t know what you get if you win but he desperately needs some joy in his life. Plus he always wears a suit and tie for no reason and it’s fucking adorable. [...]
BarackUnderstand that I loved Bill Clinton. He had a lot of serious flaws, though I could give two shits about his sex life, but he was extremely intelligent and had a solid grasp of domestic and foreign policies and issues, unlike the fucking pig-headed imbecile in office now. Hillary has become embittered by the decades-long attacks [...]
Catholics are supposed to be less crazyThanks largely to George W. Bush, lately, we’ve had the luxury of reserving most of our ire for evengelicals in America. Sure, there’s a taste of crazy on every spiritual doorstep, but when we have to start interpreting government policies through a lense which includes “the rapture”, then clearly your esteemed brand of crazy deserves [...]
The Blind Leading the Blind. Literally!1) I drive a hybrid car. When the gasoline engine is not running, the car is virtually silent. I marvel at the techno-future-awesomeness of this and other features in my car. 2) I live near a freeway. When it is one of the 24 hours in the earth’s daily cycle around its axis, said freeway is [...]
CrashForty miles outside of Madrid three twisted piles of metal bled on the roadside. The bus rolled by in flashes like an old movie projector. My eyes were fixed, scanning the scene as we passed by. The cool air inside stung my face but I could only feel the rocks passing under the wheels of [...]
