the la miss list



I lost my own gorgeous photos of this in the computer crash. It was a Dell. What did I expect? Here are some photos of the Chris Burden Vintage Streetlamp installation at the LACMA Broad Contemporary from their website.

On to the miss list...
Four years of having to spell out Talmadge St., The Vista Theatre, Early evening runs on the track field at John Marshall High School, Long Beach Flea Market, The Chris Burden lamp post installation at the LACMA - Broad Contemporary (see left), Oak Tree Gun Club, The Getty and its lawn, Cemetery screenings at Hollywood Forever, Angel City Drive In, Walking up to The Drawing Room, Late night sidewalk chalk murals with Conner, The Roost, Photo crawls with Wes, All Star Lanes in Eagle Rock, Steaks at Jones, Cube's homemade pasta, Alcove, Intelligentsia Coffee, Amoeba Music, movies at the Arclight, 101 diner, Emily in her wench costume at Red Lion Tavern, my old apple green walls, all the lovely ladies of Los Feliz and elsewhere who know who they are. I am comforted though to recall that downtown Jamie has my coral reef pulled from Bahaman waters and closer to my old home just south of Griffith Park, Bethany has my porcelain white horse, chicken book, and mattress to keep me feeling connected. Her living room that I walked to remaining a favorite place of book club meetings, gin and tonics, and general shit solving.

general shit solving - happy to oblige even from a distance. we can pour our respective gin and tonics and though separated by miles and time zones, we can pretend that we are sitting in the same shit solving room sticking to the white vinyl and shoveling kettle corn into our smiles.
