I have been missing out on the awesomeness that is staycationing in Los Angeles in the summertime. This city is so fun and so diverse. The weather is perfect and everything is pretty. Having my editor from
DJ Times,
Jim Tremayne, around for the weekend and my child-by-proxy,
Adam FirstMan around for the last 10 days or so has me feeling like a tour guide who is on vacation on her own city, best of both worlds.
•Brunch at
Jack ‘n’ Jill‘s in Beverly Hills, mooching about at
Stories Books and Cafe in Echo Park, and the
Dodger game at
Dodger Stadium with Jim on June 29, 2012. •Brunch at
Elysee with Adam and Jim then
Play Me Records BBQ with Jim then
Foster The People (my absolute favorite album of last year) at
Gibson Amphitheatre thanks to the gracious
Winnie Lam (and
Benny Tarantini) of
Sony Music on June 30, 2012. •Brunch at
Urth Caffe in Santa Monica, then
Casa Del Mar, and
Abbott Kinney with Adam and Jim on July 1, 2012. •Lots of work at
Reid Speed‘s with
Alexandra Rizo and
Nick Rizutto amidst an attack from a cat that thought I was a couch then
Tacos Por Favor with Adam on July 2, 2012. •
Barry Manilow (with fireworks!) at the
Hollywood Bowl on July 3, 2012. •

Home Depot Center (with fireworks!) with Adam on July 4, 2012. •

Universal Music Publishing‘s studios this week.
