I was originally gonna catch Brötzmann and Haino for 2 nights, but it got postponed. I took a discounted rate on my hotel so I couldn't get a refund and decided to come anyway. Caught Ken Vandermark and Nate Wooley on Friday, went to a few bars, art museums, and Amoeba yesterday.

Both of those are outstanding consolation prizes.

I assume Friday’s show was the better but I love Robert Rich.

I haven’t been in a situation like that in a long time but that’s some scary ass ****. That guy must have known you REALLY needed that ride.

When you’re out like that you have to turn your phone all the way off at like 30%.

Great ****ing experience man

That’s livin life

Is Amoeba promoting new music?

Or just use a public payphone.

Or walk into any establishment and ask to use their phone for a few minutes. 99% of the time people can be accommodating. I know that because I've had to do it a few times.

Yep, if you're by shops/bars and they're open pretty much all of them are gonna let you use their phone to call a taxi.

I would have done that instead of walk five miles.

Those are still a thing?

Yep. Less of them about though.

Good luck finding one.

Maybe- in some parts of some cities that’s a tall ass order.

It drained fast on me, was very unexpected. I can handle the city at night in most circumstances and probably would've gotten along fine if I walked. The fat bag of records would've made it a little sketch though.

And ja they had signs for shows there. Their jazz and experimental sections were impressive. You can see my haul in the vinyl thread.

Lmao. Someone's never been to LA. I did try that btw.

Loads about here, mile in any direction and you'd find one ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
