Before I lived in Los Angeles (for only a month, the other month), I wanted to move there, but I only knew the city from what I had read about it in Lightning Magazine. This was over a decade ago, before I began writing my newsletter. Los Angeles, to me then, was the film negative of both New York and what I had learned about it. Real flea markets, bionico, nice cheap old but not that old trucks, bootleg businesses, Bob’s Big Boy, expanses of road. I was going to move, but I didn’t because of work; I would stay in New York.
My rental got towed at the last LOCK show. It cost me $400 to get it back. The most expensive hardcore show of all time. Just last Friday I got a parking ticket for $73! A parting gift to my week back in LA. I still love LA, and this post. Good stuff!
