LAS ANGELEEZY PRIDE 10 DONNAS 5'


I knew that this show woulld be awesome when we realized that the line up ended up being exactly the way it was printed from bottom left to top and than bottom right Clockwise was how it all went down and to me that was a bit magical and meant to be (lol) This weekend was pretty awesome. American Splits & Jeepneys came dowwn here! they arrived on friday night and played at the WOMEN on crenshaw house. It is a cool house show house in "mid city" . The people that lived there were really awesome and super nice. It felt validating and good to finally meet normal people in such a big city of flat land and a buncha donkeys GARGAR GAR, There are tons of hills here. This house totally had a "bay area" vibe with/or without us bay area folks there. I decided that U am gonna start selling certain cutesy gadgets, toys, pins, candy, mix-tapes and junk @ shows as a funn added bonus to the merch section or whatever, I did it this weekend w/ the bands and it was super awesome!! Jeepneys is Ana from Schwule and Eggs on legs, those are her old bands! In this new stuff she does its 3 girls, electronics, harp, violin, echo-y vocals and totally experimental good. American Splits are the coolest, I have a hard time explaining or trying to describe a sound, they ROCK! Last night (saturday) there was a ware-house show! and My band PHONES! + NEONATES! SISTER MANTOS , 2 bands from canada, THE SPLITS and JEEPNEYS. I made mini cupcakes to bust out during out set I told the audience that I knew sumone who worked for planned parenthood that gave me a buncha planned B pills to give out to my "Straight friends" in time of needto hand out @ shows but was totally kidding and had mini cupcakes instead! It felt awesome getting to know new friends better, meeting new people, gays, guys, bay area KIDS! and shit titsss. The two bands from canada were ok, the people were awesome but the bands weren't exactly that great...they were rock and roll and they weren't shitty at all but the second one was goood with the girl bassist (lol) The Dudes from the bands were really into PHONES which rocked ! and asked if we had a tape or anything! (fun) but we don't, YET. OMG SISTER MANTOS IS AMAZING! it is lead Vocals Boy/queer Drag front man and two girls back up w/ electronic drums and added percussion w/ total slow electro disco house beat awesomenessss! The party was super fun and it felt like everyone loved all the bands! it was like the coolest LA night yet for Girls Gays and Guys + M. from Neonates brought her i-pod and we were able to Play sum awesome jams from it.
I got more gadgets today from the Echo park flea market that happens in the park every sunday, there is sum amazing shit there!!! + we had a mixed artificial crab, camoron, shrimp, octopus, avocado tostado! it was cool for what it was but it wasn't all that. Jennifer/lead singer of MikaMiko had a yard sale this morning! Thanx to Myspace I was able to find out about this. I got two tees, one plain cool black tee i found in the old M.M. merch bin ( iguess they forgot to print something on it) an old Dickies tee! w/ and a plain white w/ some black and white tee with writing on it. I lost my favorite M.M tee at laurens house some time last year and that really sucks! it was black writing on white, i really do miss it!
after we went to that fleamark in the park. G. got this bootleg DVD independent movie called "Grace" it had a Decent looking Woman on holding a baby bottle full of blood and other weird stuff on the back cover and junk, I told her she had to get it and we were definitely WOW'D! WATCH THIS SUNDANCE FILM DUDE!

My toy collecting is in it's prime now that i am in LA. Going to this one way-out 60's pad in the silverlake hills after haunted house a gogo 5 a couple of months ago and seeing this chicks toys and sense of total hip wild sixties chic style inspired me to continue on with my journey of collecting gadgets, cutesy accessories, clothing yeahyehayeahyeah. Today I went to the Commerce city annual flea market/community yard sale, for only having $5 I found a good amount of treasures like this super cool vintage tee that belonged to an ex-post man thats kinda like a navy blue and white ringer that says stamp licker on the back, a wasted youth tee, miniture mustard bottle, matching hello kitty figurines (1 is holding a hamburger, 1 fries), a hostess/twinkie keychain lipgloss, + yeahyeahyeahyeahyeah Best Chicken taco ever!

Memorial Gay Two Thousand and Ten




Finally the Vaporizer has been being put to use. It's such a different feeling, it feels alright. Friday was the Hipster-land Farmers Market, we went because its right outside of G's window, even the tamales have no LARD! I got some strawberries, artichoke hummus and pita chips. we stayed in and had some mimosas at night time. On Saturday PHONES' played a daytime in store show @ POObah records in pasadena! Our Friends 'PEGLEGLOVE' were playing a record release show w/ The Crystelles (ex-christian death) but they couldn't make it so I/we pretty much convinced em' to let us hop on. I got these silly glasses from the school and I wrote "Stoner" on one frame and "Princess" on the other, Thats the name that Boots (shagrats frontman) gave me (haha). The Show was Fun even though pretty empty, The Pegleg Boys are a good band, and it was our second show with them AWESOME! Later that evening we crashed a party across the street, went to little boy bar for a hott second, ate a Street dog w/ the bacon and all the fixings went back to the pad and vaporized some more. Sunday was the silverlake flea market and we went to check it out! the best booth was these people from an awesome store in hollywood called 'beauty is pain' mainly their Vinyl selection was pretty awesome! they had T.S.O.L., Salem 66, The Cramps, various good 80's punk stuff, I got a super cool vintage Dennis the Menace record from like 62' or sumthing like that (WOA!) + Their awesome friend/CraftsWoman "The Pink Avenger" had some amazing hand-made pieces but i guess wasn't doing to well that day. Some of her stuff included Eye earrings w/ those little eyes that move that are used for childrens crafts for only 50cents! Dinosaur Toy chains with Dinosaur heads at the end, awesome hair clips/full neck necklaces using sequins, silver, beads and a buncha other junk. After we went to a daytime warehouse show party in DWNTWN to check out The Lovely Bad Things ( a new garage 4 piece from Orange county 3 boys 1 girl, they're all only like 18 and they rock!) There was a Gay Pool-Water-Slide-Outdoor-Bar party around the corner too that I did know about that we passed by. I wish I was a little bit more in shape or sexy or sumthing, or maybe those aren't the types of gays im interested in, however i do think it's awesome that they are making nights/events at these random wetback bars and stuff in Dwtwn LA, there's this other one coming up called "juke joint circle jerk" im thinking this is the closest thing to "Club Feral" that L.A.s gunna get (haha) it's at this 'random wetback bar around the corner from the smell on main that nobody ever goes in, so i guess these crazy gays are finally putting use to these empty LA mainly mexican bar spaces- yay! what they're doing is actually really awesome! even what people have done w/ La cita is coool if you really think about it and know what these places were like just 3-4 years ago...yeahyeaheyehyeahyeahyeah i dunno. Need more Avocado? YES!
