what a difference a day makes
It took me all of 24 hours to reach a few important, attitude-altering conclusions about my upcoming month away:
1. Driving myself down will give me the freedom to come and go whenever/wherever I want. Duh. And I can see some friends along the way. And while I'm in LA, I might just buy myself a new car for the ride home.
2. I can get a ton of necessary stuff accomplished while I'm in SoCal: get my taxes done, do research & planning for the show (some of which will be as simple as watching my LA-based inspiration, Huell Howser, on TV), meet with new clients and catch-up with others, make plans with my family for our upcoming Alaska adventure, and even get a haircut from James, stylist to the stars!
3. I'm going to have a fucking blast! The Dim Sum Club has invited me to join them on a trek to Monterey Park. I'm thinking this might also be a good opportunity to see the Palm Springs Follies 'cause I'm definitely planning to spend some time out there. Finally get to check out some fun new clubs I've been hearing about, including Akbar's "Dirty House." And there a ton of great concerts coming up, including Duran Duran @ Staples (and as this is the night before the Oscars, you know it's gonna be celeb-heavy), Interpol @ Grand Olympic, Luna & Midnight Movies @ El Rey. I have a sneaking suspicion that there might be a Grandaddy & Earlimart gig in LA next month as well.
4. Finally, and most importantly of all, my Mom is very excited I'm coming. And my time with her comes before all the above.
