Our friend from back on the east coast, Gina, mysteriously materialized in our neighborhood coffee shop yesterday. We hadn’t seen her in 6 years or so. We kidnapped her for the day and took her to Sunset Junction – the east side LA street festival. We got to see Eagles of Death Metal, Suicide Girls (who showed us more than they are really allowed to, thank you very much SGs.), and CHAKA KAHN!!! (yes, we skipped the New York Dolls for that.)
Keep up the good work, Echo Park.

I would buy that kit if I saw it at Toys R Us.
Reading my Morning News this morning, I came across a link to Original Drawings for the Marcel Breuer Coloring Book. Sweet. I have been getting into some Breuer stuff lately, that man can sling concrete around like no ones business.
When I tell people I am an architect, I often get “wow, so you must make alot of money, right?”
Yeah. Well, the profession makes the CNN list of Big jobs that pay badly
