some highlights from Smorgasburg

we made it (and stayed for a hour or so, despite the overwhelming heat), but not early enough, as some of the foods that I wanted to try were already gone. oh well, that gives me a reason to come back, not like I need one..

some highlights from LAart show

LAart show was a highlight of the weekend. but not the only one.

Bringing back Broaday

http://nightonbroadway.la was a success also. saw a few Broadway theaters (thanks to resident pass wristband, as the lines were outrageous), one contemporary dance show, one burlesque show, Aloe blacc live performance  (http://www.aloeblacc.com, who I already have seen at coachella last year, but why not?), had one sausage from my favorite sausage place in downtown http://www.bierbeisl-imbiss.com (which will satisfy all your sausage needs), and a taco from what Tommy pie refers to as a “healthy” taco place http://www.yelp.com/biz/casita-taco-al-carbon-los-angeles?utm_source=ishare (my second time here, and I liked it more than first time. my recommendation is shrimp taco with a hard shell)

that being said, if you didn’t have a chance to make it this year, they are already planning for 2017, which will be on January 28. I’m already looking forward to that, if I still live on Broadway by then.

but back to LAart show. http://www.laartshow.com. amazing art, great people watching, and a lot of fun. not to miss next year.
