Again, not sure why I am even writing on this thing, but maybe someday my children or grandchildren will come up on the internet and need some kind of research project about their relatives for Genealogy 101 and they can use this to see what a strange man their grandfather was.

Anywya, no photos this time, but have had a busy few days. Had a nice 4th of July. Watched fireworks and hung out with cool people at some party. (of course, who ISN'T cool in LA?) Musicians, photogs, fireworks and semi-dancing to old classics.

Then last night went to the Hollywood Bowl to see Belle and Sebastian. I missed the Shins, but I'm sure they played a nice, earnest indie type set. As stated in the Belle show "they're nice lads" or something like that.
The show itself was great. They were backed by the LA Philharmonic and it was spectacular. I'm not a GIGANTIC B and S fan, but it was really well done, lots of energy, beautiful setting and they are earnest and cool. I told Laura that I think they are happy music for people that are sad. Seems like their fans are mostly fairly intelligent people who are kind of negative and depressed, but wish they were happier and always have some crazy, romantic sense of hope alive inside of them. Belle and Sebastian seem to nurture that sense of hope a little bit. Anyway, great show.

Time to go try out for a few gameshow and get some work accomplished.
