1. Silversun Degrees Of Separation: Living in L.A., people are bound to have some association with members of the band -- I used to work with Nikki at Rhino; she's super sweet and always wear killer clothes. Also, in the blog-la-sphere, Celia's cousin is drummer Christopher. Any of you out there who somehow has some association with the band? (P.S. We'll announce the winner of tix to Saturday's show at the Wiltern tomorrow.)
2. Ugly Podcast: I listen to the Ugly Betty podcasts (go to iTunes) hosted by Becki Newton (Amanda) and Michael Urie (Mark) weekly and those two are quick-witted, super funny and seem to be extensions of their characters on the show. Every week, they tease the upcoming episode and talk about some inside stuff happening on production. This week's podcast, for example, features a couple of special guests and they all quickly get into playing like they have callers calling in the show and being stupidly funny.
3. High on Highland Park: On a rare night out a few weeks ago, we finally ventured to check out the Verdugo Bar in Glassell Park (right around the corner from Franklin Avenue HQ) -- but sadly they were closed. Not sure if they have re-opened but the Chowhound thread indicates that they may have liquor license issues. We ended up at The York, where they served some stiff top-shelf drinks for $6 a pop-- pretty good deal. The vibe was good (hipster, not the Marc Jacobs kind). Quickly checked out Johnnie's as well-- smaller but seems cool. Would definitely go back to these two bars again.
