Today was free museum day in Los Angeles so I enjoyed an afternoon of learning at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures. It was nice to do something a little different plus there were musical performances, horses, and button making to round out the experience. On my walk back to the car, I stumbled upon the grand opening of a new Indian market where they were celebrating with a free buffet! Oddly enough, this was not my first random buffet encounter of the week and to that I will say that I wish that all music showcases came with a nacho bar!

Nothing says welcome home from a long vacation like 5 hours of music at the Hotel Cafe, which is exactly what I did last Tuesday night. The highlight of the night was special guests Matt and Chris of The Amazons who, after playing with friend and tour-mate Joshua Speers, did a couple of their tunes.  Seeing them in such an intimate space felt particularly special after watching The Amazons play for huge festival crowds overseas last spring. Gotta love LA!

Next week I’m most looking forward to the long awaited return of Jessie Baylin and a special Ben Grey (of Dear Boy) birthday party.
