Up at 9:00 and over to Barragans with Tommy and C for coffee and discussions about tomorrow night’s show at L’KEG Gallery. Later, C and I join Nate and Kerri for lunch in Korea Town for bbulgogi and stew and take in more of the city. Explored the local thrift stores and garment shops, picked up a few things at Y-QUE Trading Post and more coffee from Intelligentsia in Silver Lake, where we ran into Francis from Malcolm In the Middle; then back to Echo Park where we decided to walk down to Historic Echo Park, feasting on food cart fare along the way, churros, elote (corn on the cobb, sprinkled with cheese and chili powder), bacon-wrapped hot dogs, and grilled peppers. Legend has it that the name Echo Park came into use in the 1890s after workers building the newly established city park discovered that their voices “echoed” off the bluffs and hillsides to the east and west. Afterwards, meet up with the crew and all pile into the van and venture over to Amoeba Music; I pick up a Pretty Things best of album and an H.P. Lovecraft cd. Then back to Kellers for pizza and Night of the Demons, then over to Mixville to see Nate.

Soundtrack: Pretty Things – S.F. Sorrow
