power out

Last Thursday I left my sheltered world of couch and television to catch Irving, Monsters are Waiting and the Oohlas.
Drove out to Hollywood straight after work, did some shopping at the 99cent store in Little Armenia where the cashier eyeballed me for a couple seconds and then offered me the 99cent long distance card.
"...you can call your family out of the country"
I'm wondering as to why she was offering it and who the hell would I call.
"I don't know anyone who lives out of the country, let alone outside California"
"You don't???"
She had the odds on her side I guess...

Sadly this didn't happen.
Parked by Ihop and read.
Walked around got coffee
Walked backed to the car to get my notepad
Sat at the planter enjoying The Oohlas. I know they're the darling of some blogs and are even one of the first bands to be signed nyc blogger Melody Nelson's new label. If you were a fan of Belly/Throwing Muses/Tanya Donnelly and such you'll like them as I did as each song finished through the the first half of their set.
Then the power went out at Hollywood & Highland.

Corey eventually showed up and we decided In'n'Out was in order and conveniently in the directions of our cars. Ashley came by but after walking around Hollywood for a bit without a destination in mind we ended up just calling it a night and going home.
blah.
