Fireworks At Echo Park

I guess nothing burned down and no one got hurt but the fireworks last night at Echo Park made the place seem more like a war zone than a holiday event. And the ducks weren't too happy with it either.
A few more "Totally Unauthorized" videos here.

Fair At MacArthur Park

I don't imagine I'll be doing too much of this; most of my videos I'll be posting on YouTube. (Are there foot long catfish in the lake at MacArthur Park? Yes, there are. Go see.)
Many thanks to MortVark for the technical assistance.

Double Shaft (East L.A.)

Last week, near the L.A. River, I came across a bridge that was being repaired. It appeared that one of the bridge's stanchions had been reinforced around the time that "Shaft" was in the movie theaters. Now, the reinforcements were being replaced and the many movie posters were again seeing the light of day. I've linked the entire wall of posters on my flickr site.

==>Friday Morning - Somehow, a worldwide photoblog has found The Jimson Weed Gazette and has linked it as one of its LA representative. Nice.

Magazines for the weekend: New York (I bought it for the Jim Cramer interview (with himself) but the whole thing looks interesting); The New York Observer (after having finished The New Yorker last night) and Shambhala Sun for its articles on meditation.

Star Wars Photo Op

I have no interest whatsoever in Star Wars but checking out their super-duper convention certainly made for an interesting afternoon.

Yes, that's "Indian" tattooed across his chin and "Fuck You" across his throat.
