Postcard from Venice CA
by admin on Feb.10, 2011, under General
Hello from Los Angeles! Been out here for over a week. Stayed the first few nights down by Venice beach in a place called Cadillac Hotel. Great spot, never seen the sun before in February. Caught Jim Morrison and the Doors being played on radio set down by the beach which was cool this is his spot! Went off to find the mural they have for him. He’s still the idol round these parts.
Took my guitar down to the beach, and made a few friends. Spent most nights in this joint The Venice Ale House, great fish tacos and a great pint too called Longboard from Hawaii.
Now staying at a friends apartment near Abbot Kinney. Glorious garden out the back, I’ve been writing a few new songs out there, one which seems to be standing out, might play it at Hotel Cafe on the 14th.
Went to a Regina Spector screening of her concert DVD ‘Live in London’ a few nights ago. Fancy screening room at The Soho house in Hollywood. Regina’s special. Never really listened to her properly before- I’m a convert. You should check it I think it’s out in the shops.
Soaking it all up, feeling creative, excited to be playing some gigs out here, loving the sun!
