The Elliot March 19, 2011

is a nice ass place

so here’s the story: obviously I am without a car

so I catch the metro to the Elliot because it’s really close to some station that I cannot remember right now

so I was suppose to take Broadway down to 2nd street and make a right BUT I make a left instead

what a mistake

I end up in effing Chinatown… walking all alone the downtown L.A. streets in my dress and heels at 10pm

I make the smartest decision don’t I?

had I taken the RIGHT… hell, even looked to my right I would have seen big ass signs that said 2nd street *DEEP SIGH*

but I’m alive, so no worries

back to the Elliot, which if you ever go you might miss if you don’t write down the exact address… no signs, or arrows pointing you there… I passed right by it, and almost passe by it a second time but thanks to the help of the doorman waving his flashlight at me I went over to the door which is down an alley lol

The place looks like a time capsule… like Thomas Edison built the place

Vintage Trouble was playing Thursday night and their was no cover! and it was St. Patrick’s day… to be honest, I think that’s the first time I’ve been OUT on St. Pat’s day (not really a drinker)

I met two friends there (who thankfully gave me a ride back lol) and we had a good time

I got a green amerretto and their was this $6 meal with cabbage, potatoes and corn beef… it was like a stew without the juice lol

anyway I took some pics, but my camera ran out of battery so I only got to snap two

Vintage Trouble is a great band live and musically in general… apparently they play for free every Sunday(?) at the Tar Pit on La Brea

go check them out if you’re in the L.A. area or plan on being here soon

Peace ya’ll
