echo park !!!!!

Stories - the cutest bookstore with a cafe in the back Canyon Coffee - you will see the hottest people ever walk in and out of that place plus their toasts are delicious & then go next door to cookbook for a delicious sandwich Echo Park Lake - i love walking the perimeter (about 1 mile) and seeing all the baby geese The Douglas - best bar!! The outside patio is so fun & they do play the best music Carroll Street - walk through and you will see the most beautiful victorian houses Offe Market - my favorite clothing store in all of LA. They sell tons of overstock from smaller brands like baggu and lisa says gah! ok i have many many more recs for this old beloved neighborhood of mine so just let me know if you want more <3

the short answer and the long answer

apparel-ish? I started an apparel brand called Blood is the new Black when I was 23 (in 2004, i’m 42 now) the brand acted as an arts collective, i’d select several artists every season to add to the brand and would curate their submitted works into collections. distro ranged from beams (jp) colette (fr) selfridges (uk) all the way to pac sun, urban outfitters, zumiez in the states. during the 9 years I had the brand I also published zines, produced artist directed films, curated gallery shows etc. it was part of the indie sleaze era and you’d see folks like tegan and sara, michael pitt, britney spears, allison mosshart wearing the brand. somehow I pivoted to country music along the way and started a brand called midnight rider in 2013. i made licensed repop and vintage feeling tees for musicians and folks like willie nelson, townes van zandt, nudies rodeo tailors, john wayne, the judds, waylon jennings, zz top and so many others. I sold that brand last year! now I do licensing and merchandise for waylon jennings (so if you see waylon merch or collabs i’m the one behind it). I also spend my free time taking photos and i’m currently working on a book about grand national owners. id love to mentor folks who have or are starting their own businesses because i’ve learned a lot in the process both good and bad.

community college

want to learn a new thing for $150? community college need access to a ceramics studio or darkroom? community college want to sound mysterious/intellectual and say things like “i’m back in school” as a grown adult? community college don’t want 200k worth of liberal arts college debt? community college want to be in a rag tag group of misfits of all ages and form an unlikely friendship and still have a group chat going after the semester ends? community college looking for a socioeconomically diverse group of cohorts? community college i’m about to start my third semester of photography classes and im so obsessed, its been the most wonderful experience

cocteau twins

Cocteau Twins in 1993 or 1994 (with Luna opening) - I was in the 8th grade and my sister who was 14 years older than me took me. We saw Mazzy Star/JaMC and Depeche Mode the next year.
