our new apartment!!!!!

everything on my long list of requirements we found in this apartment- a miracle!

our new neighborhood!!!

after weeks of searching all over this city looking at mostly overpriced dumps with the occasional too dark gem, we found this gorgeous light filled 40's art deco apt in Los Feliz yesterday! We put that application in fast and signed that lease! The interior is so inspiring, we went by today to get some pictures but couldnt get in-- try again tommorow... the apt is on Serrano at Hollywood Blvd, a very interesting , extremely diverse area, seems like a Russian / Armenian / Thai mix ... a block away from the recently revitalized Hollywood / Western intersection ...below....

and this gem next to us ... as patrick says - a no tell motel

and our apt building! ours is the second floor one!

liquid science

this is the site and work of Patrick Mattison- also making magic at that experience experiment show with his hypnotic and beautiful video installations.

Experience Experiment

by this point i was almost sleep walking i was so tired from the long day and night...the tea having worn off....and we walked into this show and were promptly sent into another dimension entirely. The combination of the music and the all encompassing visuals corresponding to the sounds was totally refreshing.
http://strukt.at/# --- the site of the austrian visuals crew partly responsible for this experience
and luckily i had my camera with me finally

create:fixate

next on the docket was the create:fixate show, held maybe 5 blocks from the hive show in downtown LA. What I say about downtown LA at night is that it feels like you can't afford to stop at red lights when your walking down there--the boogie man is in full effect and you better get where your going fast. We made it safely to the show, in an old dept store building?(my total guess) , stood in line, bag searched, camera found, had to walk all the way back to the car dodging the boogie man again....we made it unscathed but alas no pictures, just an interesting site to show you if you care to click on the link above (the name).
ps the show was gorgeous, worth risking life and limb for- and patrick sold one of the new fancy car portrait canvas prints there too

the hive

we started our evening at the hive gallery...

see it gets cold here

this was last saturday night . i'm such a party girl now, see me leaving the lobby with my hot tea, ready for a night on the town...
but i have an excuse for being tired - having been peddling my wares , along with patrick and his art, at the FAB market all day. It was so FAB i dont have any pictures to show you how FUN it was.
