FYF Fest

August 24, 2013 by popnea

I went to the FYF Fest a couple of years ago and thought it was pretty poorly organized, but they had a killer line up this year so I had to go back! It seemed like the organizers had gotten their stuff together as well since everything seemed to be running more smoothly.

Roky Erickson open the festival for me.

Horse Meat Disco were a lot of fun!

If you were over 21, you get a drunken wristband!

Yeah Yeah Yeahs! Good as always!

Steve Martin at the Bowl

August 7, 2013 by popnea

Back at the Hollywood Bowl to see the ever so charming Steve Martin and his Banjo! I had a blast, caught myself smiling throughout the show. “This next song is one of those typically sing along song, but it has no lyrics, so good luck!”

Music For a Better Living @ the Hammer Museum

August 1, 2013 by popnea

It was the last of the Summer Sessions at the Hammer Museum. I am not a huge fan of the Hammer, buy they have some really good exhibits every now and then, like the Graphic Design exhibit earlier in the year, and the current with the work of architect A. Quincy Jones, so maybe I should give it some more cred.

Washed Out were playing a few songs after a Q&A session at the Sonos Studio on La Brea, place was tiny and packed!

Washed Out were awesome!

Busy Saturday

July 27, 2013 by popnea

I really like waking up without an alarm clock on the weekends, totally recharged! Started off the weekend with a hike up the stairs. I have a love-hate relationship with these stairs.

Came back home and noticed my ginger had started to sprout! Turned out to be really easy to grow ginger, just dig the root in some dirt with plenty of water and let it sit for a couple of weeks and you will see magic!

Since I still haven’t learned how to turn when I surf, I ding up the board pretty bad. I finally got a chance to bring it in to the shop today. I should start surfing where there’s no rocks so I don’t have to spend all my money getting the surfboard fixed up.

I’ve heard about “Fridays off the 405” that lately has turned into “Saturdays off the 405” at the Getty Center, but have never been.
Geographer was playing today so we headed up there to check it out.
Parking was crazy and the beers were $10 (as expected), but it doesn’t really matter, because it is a free event and it’s fun!

The views from the Getty Center is always spectacular. Heavy fog over LA today though, so we couldn’t see anything, which is still kind of cool since it doesn’t happen that often.
