On Thursday I started my journey to Seattle from Van Nuys. Victor dropped me off at the Van Nuys flyaway. Curiously they only accepted credit cards for payment. To my surprise the buses were actually charter buses and not city buses. 45 minutes later I was at LAX. A few hours later I was sitting […]

Bergamot Station
On Saturday in the early afternoon I took a trip to Bergamot station to see the Monsters show at Copro. For some reason, I thought that “chuck” painting would be much larger. In reality it is only about two feet high. Still an impressive piece, though. The eyes are more blue in person. Here are […]
