Cynthia’s Restaurant 3
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…. Read more »
Eloise at Hotel Cafe
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… Read more »
The Douche Hat
The chapeau pictured here has become pathetically popular in Los Angeles lately. For a year or so we referred to it as The K-Fed, but now we just call it The Douche Hat. (This should not be considered a compliment.) Even K-Fed hardly ever is seen in public donning it these days, it’s become so… Read more »

Spaghetti Cat
I find it tremendously awesome that the mysterious and unbelievably cool Spaghetti Cat makes a cameo in the Fall Out Boy video for I Don’t Care.
Eloise: Los Angeles Music
There’s a woman in my office who also happens to be the lead singer of Eloise. If you happen to be in Los Angeles and you get a chance to catch a show, you really should. I haven’t been able to see them live yet, but I have several of their songs in heavy iTunes… Read more »
Goodbye, Jay Leno
I just saw a commercial for “the last month” of Jay on The Tonight Show. This really, really bothers me. I feel simultaneously like I am losing a close friend and as if he just took over for Johnny a few months ago. It’s like I’m just now getting used to him and I’ve known… Read more »
Caitlin Crosby at The Hotel Cafe, LA
Last night we went to The Hotel Cafe to see singer-songwriter-actor-model Caitlin Crosby. (You might recognize her; she was in an NFL Shop commercial last year, the one that has all the girls dressed in Giants gear and then the last girl to the party is wearing Jets gear.) This chick puts on one hell… Read more »
Cotner and Santa Monica
In keeping with Obama’s new “Era of Responsibility”, I’m going to start a new recurring feature here at davidgagne.net. I was thinking of naming it “Assholes Who Refuse to Pay Attention to Traffic Signs”, but I think instead I’ll just go with the name of the intersection. Since I am forced to take the same… Read more »
E. Baldi
Just around the corner from Spago in Beverly Hills is a terrific little establishment named E. Baldi. (It’s the sister restaurant of just about the best place to eat in Los Angeles, Giorgio Baldi.) I had the amazing garganelle with meat sauce tonight, and didn’t realize until I was walking out the door that I… Read more »

In his first season the UCLA Bruins head coach Rick Neuheisel has lost one game by a total of 59 points. In his first seven seasons the USC Trojans head coach Pete Carroll lost 14 games by a (combined) total of 59 points.
