Bicycle, bicycle

Kirsten and Matt were kind enough to loan us their bikes, so on saturday we headed north to some park we drove by earlier that seemed pretty nice. We went there, sat down in the afternoon sun, chilled and enjoyed the view. Had we known its reputation before going there we probably would have thought twice about going, but it actually was totally fine. The park is closed to the public between 19 and 05, which probably makes sense…

Here’s what we believe to be an ice cream truck, that tune is still stuck in my head…

This is us heading back south after the park hangout. We went past downtown and headed for Little Tokyo to get some döner kebabs, but I convinced Sean that we should first take a little detour in an area we hadn’t explored yet on our way there. We turned a corner around a block and the clean and well lit streets immediately turned into pitch dark alleys with strung out people scattered on the sidewalk. We started to feel a bit anxious while entering the next block, and the first thing we see is a fist fight between 7-8 people in the middle of the street. Me and Sean agreed that it was pretty good time to turn the bikes around, so we went back up to the streets we knew, and then made it to Little Tokyo for the best kebab I’ve ever had, while pondering the importance of not turning the wrong corner. Anyways, a nice finish to a nice day.

Oh, I googled the shady area today by the way, and it turned out to be one of the roads leading into Compton after a few km… We may litterally have dodged a bullet there.

Visit from my Hyper Island classmates

Monday was a holiday here in the US, Presidents Day, so we had a 3-day weekend. Our classmates who are doing their internships in San Francisco took this opportunity to come visit us down here in LA. Fortunately, the weather is really starting to warm up, and we had nothing but sun for the entire duration of their stay. In fact, I haven’t seen a cloud in a week…

Here we have Sean, Maja, Johan, Johan, Marius and Marius' girlfriend Rikke down at the beach in Venice. I think this was right before we took our first swim of the season. And it was actually quite warm in the ocean! Well, " />

Movits! & Zacke at Spaceland

Among other things that has happened these last few weeks, me and Sean met up with Movits! and Zacke a while back. If you didn’t already know, they are touring the states, and conveniently enough they played here in LA shortly after I arrived.

They told me that the show at Spaceland was one of the better ones so far, and I’ll take their word for it, the club was really boiling throughout the show. Very surreal to see my hometown friends recieveing this much appreciation and support on the other side of the globe from an audience that doesn’t understand a word they are singing about. But it’s nice to see them get the recognition they deserve, hopefully Sweden will catch on soon enough. There was a number of swedes in the audience too though, among others Alexander Skarsgård, which also was pretty funny.

Last part of the show. Since I saw them last, there had been a really noticeable improvement in their stage presence, and overall performance.

Zacke finally released his debut album yesterday by the way, which was worth the wait and definitely worth a listen.

And of course check out Movits! video blog at www.firstwetakemanhattan.se, even though the bastards edited me out of the LA episode…
