Okay, so I’ve decided to get my act together with this blog. I am going to make myself update it at least once a week. I realize my last entry was back in July. I’m not going to try to explain my whole summer in a post. Suffice to say it was filled with great music, friends, and even a summer romance. All in all, it was a great summer. I’m so glad its fall though. Although, you can’t really tell that its fall in LA. We had a few rainy and gloomy days this week, but now it’s back to being 90 degrees and sunny. I’m not complaining, but sometimes I do think it would be nice to have a real change of season out here.
We did have a cold night last weekend and I spent most of it outside. The Hollywood Forever Cemetery held a special outdoor movie screening of Ghostbusters. I’m a big Ghostbusters fan. When I was a kid I had all the action figures, the firehouse for them. I had the jump suit with a plastic proton pack (complete with a nerf proton beam that shot out from it). So I was excited to finally see the move on a big screen with an audience. The best part, it was all for charity. This screening was put on by The Jewish Federation as part of the Fed Up With Hunger campaign. Tickets were not sold to this event. Your entry fee was five cans of food. By the end of the night they had raised almost 8,000 lbs of food. Incredible! Hunger is a big problem in Los Angeles. The statistic is that over one million people in the city of Los Angeles go hungry each day. So if you’d like to help with that problem, you can go to http://www.givelifemeaning.org/fed-up-with-hunger.html
That is all for today. October is going to be a great month though. I’m going to a panel with Joss Whedon and Co. tonight. I’ll give a full report on that. I’m also ready for October 25th. U2 at the Rose Bowl! I’ve had the tickets for months and I’m beyond excited that the show is almost here.
I’ll leave you with a song/artist recommendation. I was trying to decide on a song and narrowed it to two. I couldn’t decide, so you’re getting both. These are two amazingly talented individuals. First up is Jay Clifford. Some may know him from the band Jump Little Children(sadly no longer together). This is a song off his debut solo album. It is a beautiful and haunting song, and my favorite off the album. The song is called “Waltzing past the Grave”.
Next up is Vienna Teng. I saw her live this summer and she was fantastic. I had not heard any of her music before then, and I’d been missing out. This song is off her new album, Inland Territory. The song is about having a break up (either between friends or lovers) and realizing you aren’t going to be able to stay friends with that person. The song is called “Antebellum”. Floow the link. The player will be in the top right of your screen.
Vienna Teng-Antebellum.
That's all for now. Another update next week, I promise.
