THE WHO at the Hollywood Bowl!

Jul 03, 2012 No Comments by

10 years ago, I was sitting in my seat at the Hollywood Bowl, along with my friends Chris, Colleen and Chad. I was The Who Hollywood Bowlbeyond excited to FINALLY see and hear (and feel) my all-time favorite band perform live. I’d missed an opportunity to see them a few years prior, so I was bound and determined to be there this time.

by John Santos Swimming pools, movies stars.  That’s what most of the country thinks when they hear about Los Angeles.  Monster Trucks for some reason never seem to make the list.  But what many don’t know is the Los Angeles, and Southern California in general is quite the hotspot for Monster Trucks, off road racing, [...]

It had been far too long – 1-0 for ChivasUSA

Jun 14, 2012 No Comments

by John Santos To say it had been some time since the Goats last tasted victory against their neighbors from down the hall, would be an understatement.  And while I was trying to be as hopeful as can be, history certainly wasn’t helping.

Oct 26, 2011 1 Comment

by Jean Brugger I have worked way, way, way behind the scenes for Universal Pictures since 1987 – at their advertising agency – distributing and scheduling their television and radio commercials.

Oct 09, 2011 No Comments

by Karen Kritzer LA’s Roxy Theater.  2007.  Sid was long dead.  Lydon’s “Public Image Limited” was also laid to rest.  Steve Jones was hosting “Jonesy’s Jukebox” on Indie 103.1 and I was/am a rabid Jonesy fan.  Paul Cook guested on Steve’s show and their banter about their Sex Pistols days were side splitting hilarious.

Sep 29, 2011 No Comments

by Karen Kritzer The Clash.  $5.00 bucks to see the Clash.  $5.00 bucks to be a part of history.  There is no price you can put on this show.  You simply had to be here.  Imagine this:  There was an early 6:00 pm show of an Israeli folk singer that night.  No one remembers that, [...]
