I cannot wait to see the physical manifestations of the statement below. Thank you in advance.
To live and work as an artist in Los Angeles is to daily travel with too much awareness through a land filled everywhere with images of ghosts and ghosts of images. It is to confront head on the problem of never knowing exactly what is real about the city you call home, and to find some truth in that. In a place like this, to state the obvious is thus to state quite a bit. This is a show of artists who live and work in Los Angeles.

Big shout out to California for overcoming the stifling political ambitions of LDS church money. Sorry. I ain’t normally trying to call shit out like that but it was what it was. Viva California.
FYF seems like a far off musical L.A. dream, but its really just around the corner and will come around sooner than you think. All I’m praying for is that it won’t be as disastrously hot as it is now, because I don’t know how cute it’ll be seeing girls reapply their makeup over their already melted off caked on masterpieces. Then again I’m kind of excited to see that. Oh and the pit stains, I love my men with pit stains. Its a fun time to be had by all, between it being the strangest mixture of people you’ll see and the pervs scoping out and around for jail bait, all to a backdrop of good music, it’s quite the scene to be missed. So don’t miss it!
