Where is the hotel?: yesterday i was fascinated by someone else

mind blowing DIY weekend still in progress.

st vincent on friday night.

she is playing the guitar.

she has a mic'ed piece of wood that she stomps the beat on.

and she sings. i mean s-i-n-g-s. diy, personified.

post show birthday texting.

saturday. saturday! we were so lucky to be blown away. amazed. brought to tears. inspiredbeyond anyones wildest, wildest dreams. thanks to aaron rose and his powerful movie, beautiful losers i really feel like my life has been intensified. i think everyone in that theater had to fight the urge to walk out of there in the middle of that film and find the nearest art supply store and stock up for the winter. you can not wait to see this film about some of the artists that came out of the alleged gallery in the early 90's. that's bullshit and makes this movie sound so lame. cause they are still around today and as incredible as ever. just google it or something. i don't have the patience to list all these people that you should know about. i was sitting next to jessie totally jealous that she is getting to see this movie when she is 21 23(what's the dif?). how lame is that?

the film makers. thank you.

this was all part of the swerve festival and it was fun. outside jessie was making temp tattoos on people with sharpies and there were tons of friends all around. it was the LA weekend i have been missing all summer long. it was radical to spend so much time hanging outside. and that's the difference. in LA we can hang outside.

and then there was this dude. cali's friend's, little bro. how awesome is he? first of all he made that skateboard at the fest earlier in the day. secondly, he stole those ear protectors from some table. third, he fearlessly shredded that hill. but this is the best part... i am dropped off at the coffee place by cali while he is trying to park. this kid, gabriel is his name, kid sounds better tho. the kid comes in and says "there you are. i asked some people out front if they saw a hippy dude around, they pointed this way" i bought him an iced tea. oh, and later he asked if i was mike's boyfriend. "he wishes", i said.

his skateboard says "stonz" at the top and "king" at the bottom. that character on it is saying something about someone being "sexy". it's awesome when you find kids like this. the ones that bum you out cause you won't get to be friends with them when they are like 25.

i got a text message tonight. it said "see you tommorrow. i am excited to be in LA again." who wouldn't be?
