The Autry Museum

by
I didn’t actually know this museum existed, turns out it was awesome!

They have some really cool stuff, and the topic is super interesting, I feel like they could’ve done a better job with the lighting and the display of the items though.
Mmm, this is supposed to be Michael Jackson;

Stuff from José Santos Sepúlveda, one of the first LA County Sheriff’s. I always wondered what Sepulveda came from.

I didn’t have a ton of time to spend at the museum, so I would like to go back and explore more!

Last First Friday

by
It was the last First Friday of the season at the Natural History Museum tonight. It was an indoor-outdoor event this time.

I’ve seen the What Made LA exhibit before, but every time I go I discover something different. I’ve seen this big birds nest before and wondered what it was, but never actually looked it up. It turns out it was used as a food storage.

This part of Beverly Hills looks like a lady!

A map over the old Pacific Electric Railway. Everyone in Los Angeles, Beverly Hills excluded, wishes this system was still in place.

Ghostbusters at Gallery 1988

by
I woke up to a text message saying “I’m picking you up at 9am”. I don’t think I was quite ready for it, but we wanted to hit the golf practice before it got to hot.

Gallery 1988 had a Ghostbusters 30th Anniversary Art Show. I wasn’t gonna go, but my friends were still in line when I got there to meet up for dinner, so I cut in line and joined them.

The Power of Photography: National Geographic 125 Years

by

After the hike and a nap, we headed over to the Annenberg Space for Photography as they have the NatGeo 125 Years of Photography exhibit on display.

No photos were allowed inside the museum, but it was very inspiring and it reminded me of why I like photography so much.
They had a photo booth outside. A good opportunity to make a fool of yourself!

Birthday Dinner and Party

by
Martin is in town, and it is his birthday so we had to go out for dinner! We went to Osteria La Buca in Hollywood.

I gave up gluten for Lent. Don’t ask me why… You do get one cheat day a week though and my cheat day is Saturday, so a beer was a given. You can’t beat having a drink out of a jar, right?

We headed over to Sawtelle and GR2 that was celebrating 20 years of business.

First Fridays

by
It’s First Fridays season at the Natural History Museum again!

They have the Becoming LA exhibit which I was really excited about. Definitely worth checking out.

I think this is the best backdrop a DJ can ask for!

The museum also featured “the Silk Road” which was interesting, I wanna go back and pay more attention to it.

This gave me a flashback to my childhood.

Stories at GR2

by
The opening night for GR2’s “Stories” was tonight.

Yeah, you guessed right, Martin was there.

Chocking Hazard? Well, I don’t think they’re all wrong, I guess you can get chocked from choking.

This is what Sawtelle Blvd is gonna look like in a few years.

Ghosts at WWA

by
Martin have some paintings hanging at the WWA Gallery in Culver City for the Ghosts exhibit, we went there for the opening. By the time we got there, he had already sold most of them.

Downtown Art Walk & In N Out Burger

by
It’s been a while since I been to the Downtown LA Art Walk, and it’s not quite what it used to be. It used to be a lot of interesting art. Now it feels like it’s been a little commercialized with companies sending out girls to give out free samples of sodas. 

Food truck stop!

We didn’t stay downtown for that long before we headed back to the beloved Culver City.
I live across the street from an In n Out Burger, which is considered to be the best fast food restaurant according to the ones who knows. I’m not a fan of fast food, but since it’s THE fast food chain, we stopped by on the way home for a shake.
Erik got the privilege to go order a burger for himself and 3 milkshakes.

He came back all happy with 3 extra shakes – they’d forgotten they’d already given him three, so he was given three extras! Ok, maybe I am starting to like In n Out Burger.
