Dude, what else could you want besides the earthquake and Paris?
Funky Sole on Saturday has Egon back in the mix.
haha yeah what with the earthquake and Paris within 2 hrs of my arrival it was almost like someone was trying to tell me to cut my trip short and go home, nothing more to see here.
but maybe I will holleur at the boy Egon. where is this gig?
It's at the Echo in Echo Park.
If you roll out to the neighborhood early enough (9-ish), hit up the churro truck on Echo Park Blvd, right west of Sunset.
8 churros for $3.
or do you hate your family?
Yeah - just started about three weeks ago. They were at Jimmy's Lounge (which I thought was a pretty cool venue) but I think the Lounge closed down.
Ah so is that what happened? I talked to Miles for a sec at the Echo opener, and it seemed like they weren't all that happy with Jimmy's Lounge, especially the security. I always thought it was a shitty spot in comparison to Star Shoes, especially since the owners always seemed willing to throw a whole other party in the back separate from Funky Sole. And parking around there was even shittier than Hollywood. Although I must say that stripper pole did occasionally lead to some interesting Becky moments...
I'll beshooting hoops down by the lake after this here game I tivoed.
no and no. catch you next time holmeses.
I hated Star Shoes cos the PA always fugged up my hearing for a day or after. Terrible sound in there. Jimmy's was pretty decent.....The Echo is cool for getting your dance on, but not for lounging.
Are the Echo and Echoplex physically connected?
^^invitation for yuki to roll thru and and get dunked on^^
echo - upstairs, echoplex - downstairs
i loved star shoes because it was always had an interesting crowd, great projections on the walls, and was so crampt that you just had to dance to keep from being squished to death. plus we went so often that the bartender by the dj booth cut us a deal on drinks.
somewhere in this room i have a piece of the wall that egon drove the pick ax through on the final night there. truly an end of an era, at least for me.
