am i getting old? IMPOSSIBLE

day started out fine. i had a lunch scheduled in Pasadena near where i used to work.

got there in plenty of time and it was delicious and the conversation was FANTASTIC

and i learned a lot of things about podcasting and what podcasts to listen to

and about half way in i leaned forward and asked

can we gossip for a quick minute

and it was allowed.

and it was delightful because it wasnt mean spirited at all.

but boy did i learn some things.

then we met the owner of the joint and she was so happy to hear from us. wonderful.

got home around 420pm and i was pooped. but i had another engagement.

this was a podcast interview with one William Campbell who i have known for years through blogging but we had never had a nice long chat before.

FOUR HOURS LATER we still could have gabbed more.

got home and ate my leftovers from lunch and thought about all the things he and i had talked about. holy guacamole am i happy that he asked to be on this podcast.

he taught me things i did not know AND he syched up with things that others had talked about independently about hollywood.

this thing is really becoming a thing.

and now i know why im tired

We Drank A Beer In His Back Yard

and i hardly ever drink.

omg im not old thank God.

even hitler who hated everything loved a parade.

here in LA the weather has been specatular. almost as if it was a great weather convention.

meaning there is no where better to be this sunday than on colorado blvd a street known for a great parade

thats right the Doo Dah Parade

a parody of all the parades that will be shoved down our throats over the next few months.

here are some of the highlights who marched last year:

the Men of Leisure Synchronized Nap Team,
Dead Rose Queens,
The Spawn of Captain James T. Kirk,
the Grand Old Hags,
Amnesty International,
Wizard Ultrasonic Blind Cleaners,
Bastard Sons of Lee Marvin,
BBQ Hibachi & Grill Team,
Satan Santa,
Tequila Mockingbird & the Royal Doo Dah Orchestra,
Macho Dog & Bones,
The Howdy Krishna’s,
Hairy Krishnas,
The Dead Robert Palmer Girls,
and Claude Rains & the 20-Man Memorial Invisible Man Marching Drill Team

maybe Pajamas Media will show up?

it starts at 11:30am and doesnt last all that long so dont blink or be late

and if you really wanna represent, bring your camera, take pics, and upload them to Buzznet using your buzznet account – its free, its easy, its freeasy.

admission is free to the parade and it should be another beautiful LA weekend but if you really wanna be punk rock take the subway — the Gold Line stop that you want is
Memorial Park Station, which will drop you off right near the beginning of the parade.

doo dah directions + superjux + amera + buzzmachine + ventura county star

Dear Tony,

I’m headed out to LA (well Pasadena) this weekend for a wedding. Am wondering (if it’s not too much trouble) if you can suggest a fabulous place for two crazysexy east coast girls to go on Friday night.

I say they should check out J.Lo’s new restaurant, Madre’s, or just cruise Old Town, but I’m sure my readers have much more creative suggestions…
