Biased Dodger Food Review on MLB.com

31. July 2007

The MLB has hired one of it’s own writers to review the food at a few ballparks. Sponsored by AM/PM, the food review is a fluff piece at best, with a general run down of what’s available at the stadium. They touch on the fact that at one point, they stopped grilling the dogs at [...]

Drunkportation - Or how to get home at 2am

26. July 2007

4 Comments

I would love to embrace pubic transit in this lovely urban sprawl known as Los Angeles. Especially at night, or early in the morning rather, after a night out with friends. But the MTA really isn’t concerned about your drunk ass at 2am. So what can you do at 2am when the ugly lights snap [...]

Why are restaurants closed on Sundays?

25. July 2007

3 Comments

So many restaurants are closed on Sundays. Why is this? Especially a place like Osteria Mozza, who’s booked solid for a few weeks. I understand people need the night off, but isn’t there enough out of work actors in this town to cover shifts 7 days a week? Sorry, I’m bitter. I have someone coming [...]

Summer Chill Out at the LA Zoo

Last week I posted about the Summer Chill Out at the LA Zoo. They do this every year and this year it coincided with a screening of the new movie Arctic Tale. I missed the movie screening, something about seeing a movie with an auditorium full of kids at the Zoo didn’t appeal to me. [...]

DigLounge: Sutter Creek Edition

So my parents left So Cal (again) and moved up north to Jackson, CA. I was sad to see them go, but happy for them! I was even happier when I heard they were moving up to the Sutter Creek area or “up country” or “mother lode” as the locals call it. It’s a beautiful, [...]

Maybe Antonio should join the Elks club?

Those Elks in Jackson, CA really know how to do it up! We need some place like this in LA, where the Mayor can go and have a good time without worrying about reporters bothering him. Unless the reporter is the one undoing his pants, then that’s OK. *Photo credit, ME! addthis_url [...]

Who is Bumdog?

14. July 2007

2 Comments

From his myspace profile: “I am a career homeless Bum living in downtown LA. Always wanted to be a bum ever since I was a teenager. It was my destiny.” He’s living his life the way he wants to, reading, writing, listening to music and creating groovy artistic videos of his life. I randomly [...]

Cork’d, a Place for Wine Lovers

I drink a decent amount of wine and while my knowledge of wine has grown, I wouldn’t consider myself a knowledable wine person. I’m trying though. I read wine spectator, I’ve been to a majority of the California Wine regions, and I love to listen to Wino Wednesdays on Indie 103.1. So naturally, I am [...]
