- Who needs Target music when there's Amoeba Music-Hollywood?
-
Can't find that new one by Tiesto or how about that film by Audrey Tatou at Target? Well of course you can't. You have to go to a specialty store (which are rare these days) or order online. Well if you live in L.A., SF, or Berkeley, you are in luck my friend because you will definitely find that and more at Amoeba Music.
You'll find original Beatles' vinyl, all foreign films, all genres on vinyl, all genres on CD, adapters (aka spiders) for 45 rpm records, gear, and much more. It's a candy store for all music enthusiasts. DJ's come here to supply their collections.
Because you can trade in your stuff, lots of hard to find gems can be found. I haven't had the privilege of seeking for a gem, but I have heard stories. They also have in-store performances by different musicians.
They have two other locations in NorCal (San Francisco & Berkeley) which I haven't been to; odd considering how many times I go up there throughout the year. Go figure.
Amoeba Music is definitely an excellent place to find all kinds of sweets and treats. I heart Amoeba. http://www.amoeba.com/

- Urth Caffe, DTLA is great for food & drinks with any friend
-
If you ever been to Urth Caffe in SaMo or WeHo, you know how fabulous it is. The downside to the one in WeHo is that the parking is terrible on Melrose & traffic is kinda bad near there. The SaMo one is great, but sometimes it's a little too far. For a while I've been wanting to find the one in DTLA (Downtown L.A.) and I finally found it last weekend. It's great overall (esp. parking & distance).
I live near DTLA as a matter of fact (15-20 min) and I've been spending lots of time in DTLA lately. I was doing jury duty, Burrito Project Silverlake distribution, walking through Olvera Street, the wholesale district, the Broadway district and driving all around Alameda St. (Chinatown, Homegirl Cafe, Union Station, Little Tokyo, 4th Street & L.A. Regional Food Bank).
Anyway, Urth is known for their fabulous organic coffees and teas. They also offer a delicious cafe style menu (food, salads, desserts, etc) along with free Wi-Fi. The setting lends itself as a place to be and to be seen at. It has a really nice outside dining patio area with umbrellas & heat lamps. A lot of artsy locals and Hollywood types (and wannabes) go there. Urth DTLA is nestled in the Arts District area of DTLA on Hewitt between Alameda, 4th, 5th, and Palmetto Streets.

- Hop the bus to Mission San Juan Capistrano...
-
Well 1st of all that is an unfair question because 50 miles isn't far enough and I have a car so getting driving to any place is easier and faster. It's not like I live the fucking boonies (or in the middle of know where). Plinky, that is such a dumb question. I would have liked to have gone to Santa Barbara but that is 100 miles one way.
I certainly don't want to take the bus to the I.E. because, no offense, it's not that exciting. Kevin & Bean (from KROQ) best describe it; it's all dirt and it's super hot all the time. (so why would anyone one go out there via the bus, you have to be nuts to do that).
In that case, I'd rather go the Mission in San Juan Capistrano. Why? I never been. I am Catholic (well not all that religious, just understanding). And I hear it's really pretty and therefore I want to go. So why not use that bus pass that I found to go there, esp. since the traffic on the 5 freeway (into the OC) can be bad.

- I can trust my BFF's with my secrets...
-
So Plinky asks, "Who can you trust with your Secrets?" Well that's easy, the dynamic trio, other wise known as the BFF's (BFF1, BFF2, and BFF3).
BFF1, BFF2 & BFF3
These three are my best friends forever. They are there for me through thick and thin & they all know my most deepest & darkest secrets. No one else knows me best like they do. They know the real Lupe. While others think they have figured me out or have drawn conclusions about me, only the BFF's know what is up and who am I.
I know this sounds crazy, but they are the only ones that I can trust regardless of how psycho or angry they are on any given day. Those 3 got my back. And I count on them for anything. Most importantly, I love them to death (literally, j/k...LoL) Now that is true love. LoL

- I'd make a lovely Ikea Malung chair
-
If I were a piece of furniture, what would I be? Well that's easy. I'd be my leather recliner from Ikea. Everyone including me loves that chair. It'd be great because everyone would relax on me, watch their favorite television program on me, and they can even carry a conversation all in the comfort of me. And if someone sitting at the dining table behind me said something, then the person would just swivel back and reply without getting up. AH! What a great feeling to be loved and be someone's favorite piece of furniture. By the way, this chair comes with a foot rest/stool. So the foot stool would be the extension of me. Wow! I sure would be a great piece of furniture. Oops, I mean, my leather recliner with foot rest/stool is a great piece of furniture.
