The People of Walmart Can’t Compare to
September 30, 2009
The People of Fallas Paredes… a real store in Los Angeles… enquiring minds want to know. We don’t speak Spanish. sounds like phalluses on parade?
More on this when we hang out in the parking lot of the FP on Vermont Avenue, south of Hollywood Boulevard.
For reference- here is the mega comedy site http://www.peopleofwalmart.com/

See the results- when mimes get violent and create memes:

Last train to Dicksboro/Night Shadez
September 29, 2009
Cruising with Ms. Kellie (friend since the 90’s), also from NC, living in LA.
We hit up Desert Rose in Los Feliz. Happy Hour is scrumptious there and the service impeccable, so much that we tipped them 40%.
When I first moved to LA, I couldn’t stop complaining- “this would never happen in New York”. Now when I get good table service, I say “Dang, this never happens in LA”- but in a good way. It’s just that in LA, every waiter is the proverbial actor…
Then we went on a night time photo expedition- no flash = everything has a nice NOIR tinge to it. Voila.
Filmed some for a TKO Show- Topie Kellie Operetta-
Bi-Coastal Migration
September 27, 2009
After 9/11, New York friends started trickling out to the West Coast. Lately LA friends have been moving East. What to do, what to do?
Can we re-arrange the states so certain ones are closer together?
Missing members of the Franklin Avenue Gang who moved to NYC:
Whitney Marston Pierce (Fierce) and Chris Brunner
This couple really takes the cake, like literally.
Have video of them somewhere at our last Downtown LA dog party- must dig it up.
Shooting in Hollywood- The WTF Show
September 27, 2009
We shot some stuff for the Willie Topie Fun (WTF) Show today with buddy @BradleyRiot. Will is sporting some weird Frank Zappa look.
Next, we’ll go talk to street walkers on Santa Monica Boulevard and Highland Avenue about street style. Who would know better than people who stand on street corners all day, right?
We’ll be editing starting tomorrow.
They’re baaaack

Topie is a yenta, really. She’s set up many a couple- one that went on to be a lawyer and a cardiologist, and these two: Jenn & Greg—>

If it’s good enuff for David Bowie, it’s good enough for us.

We love Evan Charnov
September 24, 2009
Topie’s old boss, Evan Charnov, finished writing Lost Boys 3: The Thirst.
It’s getting made in South America (Capetown) in November, sadly not LA, directed by Dario Piana.
When veteran vampire hunter Edgar Frog finds himself destitute and almost friendless, when [sic] a wealthy vampire-romance novelist offers him a small fortune to go on the vampire hunt of a lifetime and rescue her son.
Guess who’s back in town?
