Irving
September 8, 2002the one thing lisa & salim wanted to do on their vacation last weekend that didn't involve food was visit spaceland. lucky for us, irving was playing a cd release party saturday night, so there was a good reason to go.
i had never heard of the l.a. natives, but l & s had seen them play just the week before in san francisco. he described them as “happy catchy '60s-ish pop,” which sounded promising. i just was excited to take an evening stroll, have a couple drinks and live music, then stumble home.
the band exceeded my expectations: happy, catchy, '60s-ish and so unbelievably cute, each and every one of them. (their website is adorable, too: buttons for buttons and corduroy everywhere.) each band member writes and sings, and the show reminded me of a game of musical chairs and beach blanket bingo. i guess they're from the 'hood, so i'm sure they'll be back soon, and you bet i'll be there. just look for the girl swooning.
I'm Christine, and this is a slice of my life—a sweet, rich, wildly indulgent slice that would taste really good with a scoop of Breyers vanilla bean ice cream. Read more >>
I run a darling, friendly, little graphic design studio.
I look on the bright side.
I take photos. Lots of photos.
I wish on stars and on websites.
I built my first web site 7 years ago and got 15 seconds of fame. (It changed my life.)
I launched, then relaunched, an online magazine.
I admitted to several embarrassing crushes.
I consumed more bacon than any human should and lived to tell the tales.
