• Long Weekend

  
  Saturday breakfast
  The Return of the Pancake King
  (aka Eddie, who cooks nothing else but manages to do great pancakes)

  It’s Memorial Day weekend (Monday’s a public holiday) and Lisa is visiting from Atlanta, which means we have a reason (not that we need one) to do some fun L.A. stuff.

  Thursday night was Lisa’s first time at Tiki-Ti,  following dinner at Palms Thai (with Thai Elvis… btw, does this guy ever shake his booty?). Today - Olvera Street and Wacko; tomorrow night – the Bigfoot Lodge, a bar that we’ve been meaning to check out for months now.

  Lisa bought a kid-sized Santo mask for Thea

  This morning Eddie and I visited Trader Joe’s for the very first time. I can’t believe we hadn’t done this sooner. People talk a lot Trader Joe’s, we just never understood the hype, assuming that it was a tiny niche store where, to quote Joel: ” … they sell mochi and stuff like that”… when in fact, it’s an awesome and cheap ’world gourmet’ supermarket and another reason to love L.A. They even gave away a free bottle of rosemary olive oil.

  Upcoming stuff: *EDITED

  • Next week - We’re getting DSL internet in our apartment! Can’t wait.
  • June 12th - the Charles Phoenix show!
  • June 19th - Two lucha legends – Mil Mascaras and Canek are appearing at Frank & Sons (AWS promotion)
