In Brief
Bobbie on Laff It Off With Grace (public access show--see episodes 15 and 16).
The 1947 Project presents "The Real Black Dahlia, a five hour guided luxury coach tour to the real and imagined scenes from the life, death and myth of Beth Short and the lost L.A. of 1947." Saturday and Sunday, September 16 and 17 (to coincide with the release of Brian DePalma's hotly anticipated adaptation of James Ellroy's novel). $47 a head is kinda steap, but you do get free Black Dahlia Gelato from Scoops in Silverlake.
Edit: Scoops is not in Silverlake, but on Heliotrope off of Melrose in east Hollywood. I was confusing it with Zanzabelle, as a result of confusing Heliotrope with Hyperion.
Speaking of good eats, after my previous trip to Oakland I mentioned having the Best Breakfast Ever, but couldn't remember the name of the place. Well, it was Rockridge Cafe, and I stand by my assessment. Maybe even more, since on this last trip I had the riccotta pancakes. Riccotta in the batter doesn't really make them taste like cheese, but it does give them a light, creamy texture that's just unbelievable.
One other note, just because now seems like as good a time as any: Locust St. is the best mp3 blog on the web, for both the great music posted (slowly working year-by-year through the history of American pop...I think it started with 1940, and it's up to 1957 now) and for the excellent, in-depth writing accompanying it. The blog has just started up 1957 after a summer break. Do yourself a favor and bookmark it.
