'ello peeps...i'm back in Los Angeles this weekend. Partly for some time with my younger brother (and terrific screenwriter at USC Film School) as well as for a much needed spacial change from Brooklyn for some new songwriting inspiration. I've got to change scenes every now and again to gain some perspective. During Christmas this past year, snowy New Hampshire became my oasis. This weekend, it'll be L.A.-- a town I'm pretty familiar with, but still want to find a root to grab onto.
Had some breakfast this morning in Los Feliz at Mustard Cafe and have been catching up with my brother. We're going to visit one of his film shoots tomorrow morning in Hollywood and I might check out a few of my favorite vintage music shops as well. Though I need to be very careful there. I should leave all my credit cards at home lest I get too tempted to make another large pruchase.
I'll keep you updated on some new song ideas and some new moods I might stumble upon here in L.A. It's a city I certainly don't feel as connected to as New York, but one that I've grown fond of after many shows and many visits over the years. I think we'll hit Umami Burger tonight. So good.
