Wanna hear a really dirty joke? Apparently, “The Aristocrats” is the worse one yet. Born from Vaudeville and kept alive by comics trying to one-up each other, it’s an ever-evolving joke shared privately by comedians. I haven’t seen the 2005 documentary about this joke but I saw South Park’s variation of it–which of course involved…

Update Re: The Urbs' Blogging Awards
Thanks to fellow nominees 1947project and 8763 Wonderland for bringing this to my attention: Turns out there’s a flaw in the voting system so now I think I’ll take this contest with a grain of salt. Ah well, I know in my heart that I have the “Best Los Angeles Blog.” 😉 But thanks to…
Soundtrack for L.A. Living: Waiting at LAX
What: “Let Down” by Radiohead Who: Passengers-to-be or those already in the air. When: After you’ve already checked in and are sitting there with your boarding pass. Where: I say LAX instead of John Wayne or Burbank, simply because it’s more hectic. But this song is fitting in the waiting area when you’re seated and…

The Wrens at the Troubadour
Got invited to see the Wrens at the Troubadour. I have no idea who they are and apparently not many people do either. They’ve been around since 1989 and have had a string of bad luck with regards to record companies but they’re still together through it all. Playing their music and loving what they…
L7's Wine Tasting at the Sterling Steakhouse
Ah, the lush life! My last memories of the Sunset Room were staying after a Mediabistro mixer and watching a burlesque act on stage. Wasn’t all that impressed seeing as I’d never returned. But apparently that’s all gone now and replaced by one of the many hipster steakhouses that have popped up around L.A., Sterling…
Backstage of Sony: Quite Possibly "the Best Dive Bar in the World"
Don’t know these people, but don’t they look like they’re having dazed and confused fun? I love it when I find a “new” bar in my neighborhood and apparently Backstage is “the best dive bar in the world.” I’m not sure what exactly qualifies it as such since it seems like a typical dive bar,…

Another L.A. Moment: Mani/Pedis and Reality Stars
I was getting my nails done at my fave nail place, Main Attraction, when I noticed this cute Asian girl wearing a newsboy hat with her long, straight black hair falling out of it. She was a tiny thing in little boy jeans. Since she got to the nail drying station the same time I…
