This picture just made me tear up in my cubicle because the little Wilbur piggy looks like my Gonzo bean… smile and all!
Gonzooooo!
Curbed is doing a Millard Sheets appreciation week, so I am appreciating him right now before my playlist finishes uploading.
Sheets created some of the most iconic public art in Southern California- the Home Savings and Loan building murals. Now they are mostly Chase banks, since they aquired Washington Mutual after WaMu bought Great Western. Fun fact: My first bank account was Great Western because I wanted to go to the cool bank building.
I have loved those murals since I was a little kid. My dad would take me walking to check out the fountains at the bank (weird, i guess.) The murals have always conjured such a 1940s California-specific image in my mind… and it makes me nostalgic for a time when everyone wore hats, drove around in boat-like cars, and there was still a hint of the West being the land of hard work and golden opportunity. And then I get a mental whiff of Juniper trees. Thanks Millard.
Amazing news! The Instagram Socialmatic concept camera is going to become a reality!
The camera will come with WiFi, Bluetooth, 16GB of storage, and an internal printer for instant prints.
This is actually really cool.

“Having the right to show up and speak are basic to survival, to dignity, and to liberty. I’m grateful that, after an early life of being silenced, sometimes violently, I grew up to have a voice, circumstances that will always bind me to the rights of the voiceless.”

Though the website for Los Feliz Indian restaurant Electric Lotus is still functional, the phone rings and rings. Unfortunately, Electric Lotus has baked its last naan and is now shuttered. [EaterWire]
—————————————————————————————-
This is where I learned to rave. I spent my 17th birthday at Electric Lotus (with Patrick and Tammy while sitting on bright silk floor cushions, dreaming about being cool grown ups) and did my first real DJ stalking there. Later, it became a familiar haunt for trips home from school. Then, we held a 21 person dinner in the back room for Dylan’s 26th or 27th b-day… Shortly thereafter it became our resident indian delivery joint or semi-eastside meeting place.
Its funny how restaurants can carry so many memories!! I’ll miss you Electric Lotus- thanks for the masala & the phat beats.
Anyone else excited?!?!! I am!
