Los Angeles, California


We drove into the city in the early afternoon. The final destination: A house show at a friends of a friend's house. LA is, in my opinion, like magic. It has this feeling like everything is happening right now, every day anything can happen, but also feels like everyone on the street is judging you. Image is everything. It's like ten cities in one. It is almost like going to an amusement park where everything is novel and entertaining, but you wouldn't want to live there.

We got lost for a while, but found our way eventually. Thank God for the iPhone and Google Maps...

The house belonged to Dan and Annie, two awesome people who were totally hospitable. And they were into pinball machines. I mean seriously, real arcade style pinball machines. Dan collected them. There was also one of those Whack-A-Gator things, some other arcade games, an electronic darts machine, etc. The show was kind of like a Pinball-Punk-Party attended by entertainment biz guys and gals who were seriously into pinball machines. There was also a local band who played called Cannonbll Fun. It was their last show, and they did a mighty fine job. The night was overall pretty mellow, we played a good set, there was a Pinball tournament and a $.99 raffle.
