A busy Saturday
So this Saturday was a pretty busy day here in Los Angeles. Having felt much better after a 13 hour-night sleep (yes, I went to bed at 8:30 on Friday night), I got up, headed out to Starbucks for my morning brew. In the afternoon, my friend Rustum and I braved the MTA bus line (line 28 runs 2 blocks from my house) to downtown to the 2nd annual L.A. Weekly Detour Music Festival. For those of you who may not know, L.A. Weekly is a free weekly paper that lets all of us Angelenos know what is going on each week in regards to art shows, music concerts, film, food, etc. Detour is an (at this point) annual live music concert they sponsor in which they shut down the four streets surrounding City Hall, set up four stages, and invite new and upcoming musicians to play 30-40 minute sets. Going in to the event, I had heard of 0 of the 20 bands that were scheduled to perform (that’s 0% for those of you counting at home). Anyway, the whole event was alot of fun, the highlight being a group called the Teddy Bears, who came on stage in suits and giant Teddy Bear heads. Despite the ridiculous attire, the music was great!
Finally, in other much sadder news, there is now no longer any reason to continue to watch baseball given the fact that the National League will be represented by either the D’Backs or the Rockies. I guess football season has officially begun.
