Random nights and wrong addresses

I have a love for random and spontaneous night. Especially when good people and music are involved.

Last night was a defining moment for all of those things. 


It started last week at a Give Prints photoshoot that I was styling. The Giveprints team started talking to our models(guy and girl) and discovered one of them lived about a block from me. Then discovered that I had in fact encountered the guy before at various shows that he plays at. I'm a fan of the projects he plays in. But he proceeds to tell us that he is having an actual hootenanny. 


So why not go, it was within walking distance of my house. I went and had a blast and oddly enough ran into a handful of people that I know. I loved that this guy planned this event, a good hundred people, music, firepits, laughs, chili cookoff and brews all ingredients to a successful night. 


Then after Bethany and I picked up Olivia to go to this art show in LA to see one of Bethany's friends. This art show was in little Tokyo and with miscommunication and a wrong address. We went on a search. First stop, comic book convention. How in the world this happened, no idea. Hilarious all the same. 


After multiple circles around 2nd street we finally ended up at the correct location. I look at the art show lineup and see that a friends boyfriend was also at the show. Only to find out, all the random people I knew again were there. Not a single one of us planned the outing. And logically in all of our minds we wouldn't place each other at the art show. The art show was at times questionable but interesting, thought provoking. Overall, a good time.  It was great to see all the people. 


After about an hour or so. The girls and I decided that we needed food. After a few more circles around to find a place. I noticed a place that I had been to before with a friend and next door to the restaurant was another place that looked promising. Far Bar.   Success. It was perfect. 


Random assortment of food a cross between middle eastern, to burgers, to sushi-- all great ideas. Good drink selection and perfecting setting. We discovered the outside bar that was great. Twinkle lights giving the appeal that were stars, brick walls and heat lamps. 


It was a nice, non-stressful outing that can sometimes be accompanied with the typical LA hustle and bustle. 


And to end the night with a long skype date. 




I'm a fan.
