as for venice, i don't know it that well. the beach is good for pretending you're in the three's company opening credits, but as beaches go, i prefer marina del rey.

anyone following the development of the grocery strike? so grossed out by this detail from the LAT yesterday:
The retailers are fighting back. This week, Albertsons and Vons began taking applications for people willing to cross a picket line and work during a strike.On Wednesday, customers walking through the front door of the Albertsons store at West 39th Street and Crenshaw Boulevard in Los Angeles were greeted with a sign offering $10- to $13-an-hour jobs “for temporary replacement associates due to a potential labor dispute at our store.”

i saw a "help wanted during grocery strike" sign outside vons a few days ago. good luck, potential scabs.
― chavo pendergrass (get bent), Friday, 19 August 2011 00:05 (thirteen years ago) link
I heard a radio ad by the unions that was touting some poll saying 60+% of californians wouldnt cross a picket line.. bullshit. They say that now when they dont exist.. Give them like a week once the strike goes down.

i hope (the fervently anti-union) target doesn't get an uptick in sales because of this.
― chavo pendergrass (get bent), Friday, 19 August 2011 22:46 (thirteen years ago) link
i mean, i shop at target for their vast selection of cheap crap, but i haven't taken advantage of their grocery section. i really need to stop supporting these dipshits.

Trader Joe's employees ALWAYS seem really happy, despite the fact that many of them are comfortably middle-aged and scanning my Weetabix for a living, why is that??

Yeah that seems like a shame. I have guests coming this weekend and wanted to take them. The city's getting pretty draconian recently, for example they gave ME a speeding ticket yesterday! in Chinatown, of all places.
OK so who knows kid/baby-friendly things in LA? I was thinking Travel Town, LACMA, Grand Central Market (it's loud), Angel's Flight. Probably won't do the beach

At Angels Stadium as well, meaning you could take Amtrak/Metrolink down and it'll be right there off the Anaheim stop.

I like it (and I can literally walk there) but their coffee has cinamon in it, which is an acquired taste

Cool! Yeah I will check out the latter. I basically work equidistant from each, but Broadway parking wins every time.
There is also this place but the coffee is kinda sweet and the service is slow (but very nice). Baked goods smell great, though: http://www.labaking.com/

Travel town is great. there's also a carousel in Griffith Park near the zoo and travel town. Olvera Street is pretty fun environment for a 1 year old too. lots of tschotskes, music, etc.

It's just so, so Silver Lake.""Like, baby, baby, baby, oh!," orchestra members sang as children danced and tattooed couples snapped pictures. "Like baby, baby, baby, no."

i'm going to this, at EPFC tonight (tho i can't stay the whole time):
Tuesday, August 30 – HAPPY BIRTHDAY GEORGE AND MIKE KUCHAR: AN EPFC VIDEO SLEEPOVER – 8PM Come celebrate George & Mike Kuchar’s birthday with an all-night pot luck pajama party at the Echo Park Film Center. Works by George and Mike will be screened until the wee hours of the morning, with a midnight toast to honor their birthday (August 31). Come dressed to act as your favorite faded starlet, and bring some B-movie props, as impromptu videotaping is liable to occur throughout the evening. A highlight of the event will be a selection of rarely screened works made with students from the San Francisco Art Institute, as well as the documentary The Smutty Professor, which chronicles the spring 2000 SFAI class AC/DC Psychotronic Teleplays as they make Planet of the Vamps. Former students are encouraged to bring their class’ project to screen!
