It's like you can travel around the world thru music, by hitting different venues (some outside, some in theaters, others in churches) within a half mile radius of downtown. It's been going for 30+ years.

Last night, I attempted to go to the Alice Coltrane art exhibition opening at the Hammer in LA (but despite showing up early they‘d already hit capacity for the event womp womp)
Anyways I had it booked if this happened I’d head to the World Stage in Leimert Park just 20-minutes east for some jazz. And y’all… it’s been on my list to get to this side of town and check it out - blown away. Amazing talent coming through here.
If you’re a fan of jazz, please check it out. I’ll for sure be back ☆♪

For local shows we don’t have much to choose from but Blackthorn is pretty sick and the people are also sick and it’s local so supporting local businesses is sick. This other one is an almost 4 hr drive but Bottleneck in Lawrence KS has a lot of great bands pass through and the vibe is immaculate and the crowd is always top notch too. Saw The Chats there and it was everything I could have hoped for and more. A closer one is George’s Majestic Lounge in Fayetteville AR. Down side is that the train tracks are right beside the venue so when it passes through you can’t hear a damn thing and have to wait for it to pass (happened during little Been Stellar were playing).

Dude walked e-v-e-r-y street in NYC over the course of years. Did little increments each day. Wrote about all sorts of random things relating to the city as he went along.
There's a great segment about his obsession with barbershops/salons incorporating the letter "z" into the name of their shop eg Royal Cutz VIP

I can't remember the last time I didn't have something checked out from the public library. I got books on books on books in rotation, all with their slips popping out. Damn if they don't have like every film in the Criterion Collection. The people watching off the charts too... Need i say more? Get ya sum!
