(or "I can't believe it's not Orgy Butter")

my sister works at CORNERSTONE THEATER in LA. Their building is on the same block as my Beloved Former AL'S BAR. (305 S. Hewitt) It used to be a pretty dicey proposition walking round in that neighborhood. Masa, the bassist from the ill-fated Baphomet Criers lived in an apartment above Al's and he was a great visual artist.
so, around that time, 98/99 that neighborhood had a little revival, galleries moved into the area, there were BBQ's, now there is an area of 4 or 5 blocks there, where the most notorious graffiti artists throw down. examples above.... and below.... JP recognized a tag by 7th Letter Crew, Ron English and Sabre.


s'posedly the JAWBREAKER tribute at Wandering Goat is still on, just delayed till November. don't have a date yet. Hopefully, this means that Tom can join me and Justin on our 3 cover toons....
Santina's birthday is Friday, and we'll be trucking up to Portland in Nuxie's Pilot with the shiny new tires she just got.

bopped around downtown with Nuxie & the kids and my sister today. went to see a female world music group called ADDAWE for free, thru Grand Performances
then went to WACKO superstore/ Soap Plant / La Luz de Jesus gallery whence we ran into our very old friend Jae Lee from RESIST AND EXIST / AUTONOMY / Beyond the Wall of Injustice fanzine. here's an AUTONOMY video from a gig me and Nuxie went to at Washington Community center in Buena Park in 1992 (warning: extreme political correctness? and VERY SPIKY HAIRDOS!)


came back to redondo beach and ate king crab legs, potstickers, edamame and fried rice.

I'm Riding to End AIDS

From June 6-12, 2010, I'm bicycling in AIDS/LifeCycle. It's a 7-day, 545-mile bike ride from San Francisco to Los Angeles to make a world of difference in the lives of people living with HIV and AIDS.
