DTLA By Rooftop

Yesterday was, for the most part, a pretty chill day. That mountain of laundry that I’ve been talking about for about a week now still stands … actually, it’s grown a bit taller. BUT, I’ll get to it … one day. Yesterday was not that day as I spent part of my afternoon running around taking care of menial errands. I met up with Ollie last night for a rooftop hang at The Standard hotel in downtown LA which was fun and deffo the highlight of my day/night. More »

The Dead Can Dance

After my whirlwind week last week with Sarah in town, I needed a bit of a night off … well, that was the plan. I decided that I was going to do a whole lot of nothing yesterday … my plan was to just chill at home and relax. I managed to catch up on some TV, listened to some music and rested for pretty much the entire day. I did get antsy last night and, well, I did go out for the W▲RLOK danceparty that happens every other Tuesday night here in LA. I didn’t make it a late night but, yeah, I’ve been in the mood lately so off I went! More »

‘Little Devil In The City Of Angels’

Alas, my BFF Sarah flew back home to Detroit early yesterday afternoon and I was left with an empty house :( I spent most of my afternoon trying to recuperate from the bizzy weekend Sarah, Adriana and I enjoyed and then it was back out on the town last night for more fun. Hustle Roses (aka my homie Ollie) performed a show at the Bootleg Bar last night so I met up with Caleb and Tamar to see her in action. She killed it, as usual. I got to spend some time with Ollie and Caleb after her show so that we could catch up a bit. ‘Twas a fun night. More »

Easter By Disney

Yesterday was Sarah’s last full day here in SoCal and we made it a doozy of a fun day! After she and I met up with Ollie for a fun brunch here in town, we met up with Adriana and made our way down to Anaheim, CA to spend the day at Disneyland and Disney’s California Adventure! Ever since Sarah has been visiting SoCal since the early 00′s, she’s somehow managed to NOT visit Disneyland so Adriana and I made sure to remedy that situation this trip. The fact that we got to spend Easter at Disneyland was just icing on the cake. As I’m sure you can imagine, we had a lot of fun and took a lot of photos … click below to share in our adventures.

Good Times In SLO, Hot Show In DTLA

Happy Easter, y’all!! I hope all y’all are having a fun weekend. I’ve been having a great weekend full of fun and really good times. As I mentioned previously my BFF Sarah is visiting LA from Detroit for the weekend and we (along with our friend Adriana) embarked on a road trip up to San Luis Obispo so that we could spend the night at the fabulous Madonna Inn. We spent our Friday evening/night whooping it up at the Madonna Inn and then our early Saturday enjoying downtown SLO. By late afternoon, we drove back to LA so that we could get downtown to see my girl Hustle Roses in concert last night. It’s been a bit of a whirlwind … but an extremely fun whirlwind. More »

Cruisin’ & Boozin’

Yesterday was a fun day for Sarah and me as I was our first full day together here in SoCal. We spent the early part of the day in Santa Monica checkin’ out the sights and then we made our way to a top secret photoshoot so that I could conduct an interview (which I will share with all y’all as soon as I can). Last night, we settled in at The Churchill and ate and drank the night away. As luck would have it, the bar has an old timey photobooth and well … there you have it. Fun! Fun! Fun! More »

Movie Review: ‘G.I. Joe: Retaliation’

Last night Sarah and I attended an early sneak peek screening of the sequel film G.I. Joe: Retaliation and, to tell the truth, we both liked it very much. Like the first film, it’s not the kind of movie that will win any awards … nor will it inspire high brow conversation, even among the most diehard fans … but it’s a fun popcorn movie that you can enjoy if you let yourself. I’m guessing that people who think they may not like the movie won’t like the movie … but if you enjoyed the first G.I. Joe movie, then chances are you’ll enjoy this one just as much. More »

Sarah Swings Into Town

Late last night my BFF Sarah flew into LA from Detroit and altho she got here very late in the day, our friend Adriana and I did everything we could to make her feel most welcome. Adriana picked up Sarah from the airport and I met up with them at Swingers cafe for a late celebratory dinner. Because of the late hour, we couldn’t really rage all that hard … all we did was eat, drink and hang for a bit. But with Sarah’s arrival, the extended weekend of fun officially got underway. More »

We Are All Equal

Today is a big day here in the US, as I mentioned earlier, and I’m guessing that many of y’all have been seeing a lot of red equality signs on your Facebook feeds today. The thumbnail image to the left was created by Sean Platter and you can download it HERE, with the artist’s permission, and use it as your FB/Twitter/Instagram avatar as well. We won’t know for a few months what the Supreme Court will decide regarding the Prop 8 case that was argued today but I have high hopes that they will do the right thing. More »

Fan ‘Club’

Last night I made my way out to the ArcLight Beach Cities to see the classic 1985 film The Breakfast Club on the big screen. As you may recall, Ollie and I went to the ArcLight Hollywood last week to see the 1989 film Batman on the big screen as part of the ArcLight Presents film series. Last night’s showing of The Breakfast Club was my first opportunity in 28 years to see the movie in a theater. The neatest thing, I think, was that the movie takes place on the morning of Saturday March 24, 1984. That means that I was able to see the movie exactly 29 years later on Sunday March 24, 2013. So cool, right? More »
