Okay, riddle me this, kids: The local NBC affiliate’s nightly news keeps running items about how Los Angeles residents are not returning their census forms.

Last night I got to fulfill a lifelong dream of mine: I saw Paul McCartney live in concert. The show was at the Hollywood Bowl, which is just about the best venue for a show imaginable. For days the news forecast lots of rain, but the skies were crisp and clear all evening (although it [...]

Last night I went to see The Killers at the Hollywood Bowl. My father-in-law got us amazing seats, right in the center on the lower level. I had to go to dinner with a client at work, so I missed the opening act, The Psychedelic Furs. But, just like when I saw Green Day a [...]

We had dinner last night at Cynthia’s Restaurant 3 (blog) on 3rd Street in Hollywood. (I am coming down the home stretch here of the Velocity Diet and get to have one HSM each day.) I have to tell you: If it wasn’t for my meal, I’d say this was a terrific place to eat. [...]

I finally got a chance to see Eloise (MySpace / Twitter / previously) perform live and the show was terrific! They played at Hotel Cafe — which is neither hotel nor cafe — in Hollywood. I was excited to get to hear killyou, my favorite of their songs, and impressed with how they handled themselves [...]
