Mini-Documentary: CicLAvia – Redefining the Streets of Los Angeles

Spent the past four days working on this mini-documentary on my CicLAvia experience last Sunday, editing, doing the voiceover and composing the music. Enjoy!

CicLA Ye Shall Find

Wow. All I can say is, “Wow.”

Of course there are more words to describe CicLAvia, but that’s the first one to come to mind.

I was proud to have not only be one of some 100,000 participants, but I signed up as one of the goldenrod-shirted volunteers of the event. I got to stand […]

L.A. Times Article Highlights Cahuenga Library, Branch Cuts

Got an email from Julia Griswold from the East Hollywood Neighborhood Council who shared a link to this article in today’s Los Angeles Times that talks about the recent cuts in service to the L.A. Public Library system affecting youth patrons, while their lives face other distractions, such as midnight video game launch events.

Torrid Tale Of The Towed: The Epilogue

Today was the final day of paying that $80 parking ticket I got back when my car got towed on the night of August 12 in Downtown L.A. Surely, I had the option to pay online, or by phone, but there was a $2 “Convenience Fee” for making such a transaction via credit card. That’s […]

Today was Park[ing] Day LA, the local version of an international event where street parking spaces are converted into makeshift, guerrilla-style open space for a number of hours for the day. The purpose of the event is to create a dialogue to call attention to the fact that more space in cities is dedicated towards […]

Pitbull Attack Update: Hallelujah!

I returned to St. Eugene’s church to play piano for the gospel choir. Surely there were prayers said for Ms. Holloway, who was attacked by a stray pitbull dog last Sunday, but the miracle came at the end: During the announcements at the end of Mass, Kishna Holloway got up and thanked the parishoners for […]

The Torrid Tale Of The Towed

After successfully evading it in 18 years of driving, my car got towed away for the first time on Thursday night as I was playing with members of my band for our Soul Barkada Lounge jam at the Downtown L.A. ArtWalk.

I arrived at the Spring Street venue at around 6:45 p.m., unloaded my […]
