March 2011 Art Walk

I remember when I liked the Downtown LA Art Walk. When Bow and Sparrow had a store on Spring and their parties flooded the streets with punks and kids in street wear and a fakie bunny hop on a fixed gear was still a big deal. Those days are over.

Lately Art Walk seems more like Drink Fight. People get drunk and then get in fights.

I was fixin’ for a drink, so when a girlfriend of mine called me and said she was going to the bar on the second floor of the Alexandria I told her I would meet her right away. I got another call while I was looking for my wallet and keys. It was Shues. He was outside with A and Newark and they needed the code to my front door. I figured I would scoop these guys up and meet this girl. Well one thing lead to another and by the time we were ready to leave I got another phone call. Immachyna and company were at my front door with a bottle of Jack. I had to invite them up. We started to hit that bottle and I got a third phone call. It was the girl I was supposed to meet at the Alexandria! But she was just calling to say that she hadn’t even left to go yet so I told her to just come to my place, and that’s what we did. A shit ton of people binge drinking in my tiny apartment.

We left en masse to La Cita. It was ok.

The slumber party was the highlight of the evening. We watched the earthquake and we couldn’t believe it. Fuck.

I made everybody bacon in the morning. It was outstanding. Click the photos to see a few more from that night.
