another day in the neighborhood

By e; — Thursday, March 27, 2003

A couple minutes ago I look out my window and see an LAPD helicoptor maybe 200 feet away (probably 30 feet above the level of our building). That's kind of unusual during the day, so it catches my interest. He looks like he's circling the Vermont/29th intersection, so I look over that direction. A black guy runs around the corner, and I think "LAPD's probably chasing that guy." Five seconds later an LAPD car rounds the corner, catches up to the guy, pulls alongside him, and opens his door. At this point they get sort of screened by the Autozone, put I assume he pulled his gun on him, and took him in that way. Four or five cars quickly descend on the scene. Now, seven minutes later, there's absolutely no sign that this just happened.

adam & the weight

By e; — Monday, March 24, 2003

Last May I mentioned that I had seen Adam Kowalczyk open for Rodney, and that I expected good things from his band, adam & the weight. Well, on March 13 I went to their cd release party at the key club. I wasn't disappointed. The band played a relatively short set, but I was really impressed by how refined their performance was. Both muscially and with their stage presence they put on a first-rate show. Adam's brother, Ed (yes, the lead from Live), sang on one of the songs, which was very cool to hear. The Live influence is pretty obvious, Adam's voice has a lot of the same traits as Ed's, but I have to say that's a big plus for me. In fact, I was so impresesed that I did something I rarely do these days... I bought the cd. Their song Come Undone then proceeded to be stuck in my head the entire time I was in France. I highly recommend checking out both the band and their album.

I'm back in the US. Expect a long write-up soon, but right now I'm going to try and nip the jet-lag thing in the bud and go to bed.
