Hey, how come no one is standing up for the academy award winning Marty? Yesterday, I took Sean on the subway to shoot trains (for Ben going to work). For some reason, I can never get anything right the first time. It's only after looking at and thinking about the footage when I realized I should get some shots of the train whizzing by, like a transition, from straight on side view. So my "shoot it twice" approach (or disability) still holds.
Got off in Los Feliz and took Sean to Fred 62 for lunch then stopped by Skylight books where they have probably the largest, best-stocked section on film production I've seen in LA. Los Feliz is one of those areas where I just don't belong. Everyone looks like they're in their twenties and you know they hang out at various coffeeshops with their laptops editing videos and writing scripts. At Fred 62's website they have a downloadable contract for using their restaurant as a film location. A different world.
On a sidenote, one of my Korean relatives kept talking about "Rose Palace" one evening. I finally realized that he was in fact talking about Los Feliz.

from a noir short story i read today called "the method" by janet fitch:
"I was working the 5-11 shift at Orzo, a trattoria on Hillhurst that catered to the Loz Feliz/Silverlake hipsters, men in leather jackets and perfect two-day stubble, women with clean hair and long knitted scarves...'I think I'll have the Classico', he pointed at the board with a langourous finger, a gay gesture though he didn't seem gay. I guessed him for a writer."

Did I have the Classico? I thought it was the Rustica.
