I’ve never been a coffee drinker, but there’s a big fuzz around the intelligentsia coffee on Abbott Kinney in Venice, so when my friends wanted to stop by for a cup, I had a taste and it was not all that bad!
Foster the People at the Wiltern
Foster the People are back in town for two sold out shows at the Wiltern.
It was a pretty awesome line up with the Reptar going out first followed by the Cults and then Foster and his Peeps as the headliner. Tons of energy on stage and the best version of Pumped Up Kicks so far!

The artist and his mother!
BevMo!
BevMo is doing the 5 cent sale again so we picked up a cart full of wine! – Most of this is for a wedding though, we’re not gonna drink it all by ourselves…
The Head and the Heart at the Music Box
We went to see the Head and the Heart at the Music Box in Hollywood. I was super tired and I think they were a little too slow for me, but a good night over all!
Grandpa Gunnar
My 96 year old grandpa passed away today, he was an awesome man and a great inspiration to me. Here’s a poem he wrote and sent me when I moved to Los Angeles five and a half years ago. I made a half-ass attempt to translate it as well – my translation is not nearly as good – but you can still get the point.
| Struntpratets Lov Stundom känns behov att prata På landet eller stadens gata Då undran, skall man säga nåt’ av vikt Om religion, politik, samhällsplikt Nej. Allvarsorden kan bränna till Det är knappast vad man vill Samtalet kan då bli genast fryst Så, kalaset även börja tyst Ett lekfullt skämt som allom gläder Eller börja snacka lite väder Och så en komplimang kan göra susen |
A Praise for Smalltalk Sometimes you feel the need to talk On the country side or city street Then you wonder, should you say somethin’ important About religion, politic, social duty No. Serious words can burn It is hardly what one intended The conversation can then be frozen And the party become quiet A playful joke that makes everyone smile Or to talk some weather And compliment can do the trick |
Here’s a photo taken of him this past August.
Culver City is Invaded
We went for dinner in Downtown Culver City tonight and noticed we’ve been invaded! I first thought it was the street artist Space Invader, but it seemed very unusual to him so we took a closer look and it turned out to be an exhibit in collaboration between the City and the International Festival of Independent Games that’s held in Culver City this year.

Going Home From Vegas
I have lost count in how many times I have been in Vegas, but I still had not seen Elvis, or the famous Welcome to Vegas sign. Still haven’t seen Elvis, but at least I got to see the sign today!
Only 257 miles to go!
We stopped by in Baker on the way home and took a photo of the Worlds Tallest Thermometer, which is no longer working…
We can see Downtown Los Angeles, almost home!
Las Vegas
I have friends in town from Sweden and we decided to go to Vegas for the weekend. We stayed at Bally’s Resort & Casino, this was the view from our hotel room;
Getting ready for a night out!
Paris!
