it's a bus terminal. the flyaway is the express bus that goes to LAX.

oh yeah, I know the Flyaway!

How about this though - Akio Suzuki, Gozo Yoshimasu and Otomo Yoshihide at CalArts tonight for FREE

if you could bring calarts to me (just uproot the whole city of santa clarita), i'd be all for it. not feeling so great and need to save my energy for the weekend.

yet another intriguing show at the echo: lydia lunch with algis kizys, bob bert, and weasel walter:

Ha, just got the email for that show too. Probably going to go...

like i said on twitter, it starts at 6:30 so us olds can get out of there and take our metamucil.

that free faust show at calarts sounds so horrible

it sounds like that band from the last season of lost

a MIXTURE of ROCK and CLASSICAL

apparently they're doing an orchestral SunnO))) cover.

I got laid off this week, gonna have time to go to everything now. 1 hour after getting the can I was watching The Master in the Arclight Dome with a palmful of Milk Duds.

get on that unemployment

Yeah for sure

Okay space shuttle geeks are you here...

not sure i have a good vantage point, but following along on twitter.

Just hit the Santa Monica pier!

Not directly of course.

Apparently four minutes out from Disneyland. Crossing my fingers I can see something from UCI here...

saw it!

in studio city, about 8-10 minutes ago

Pasadena has contact!

Oh damn that was great.

I just missed it :/

saw it flying over universal!

thrice over los feliz

it was waiting for the line at ricky's to thin out a little #LAhumor

Ha, nice touch with Nichelle Nichols starting the ceremony.

Saw it overhead as it made the JPL/Pasadena loop.

Lots of people saying the flyover was one of the most spectacular things they've seen. WTF folks, where were you when the space program was actually running!

CARMAGEDDON HAS BEGUN (zzzzz)

I SHALL...avoid the freeways I avoid anyway never mind

The two photos showing Ned's disposition before and during Carmageddon are the exact same.

"There's a sparkle in his right eye in the second one. He may indeed be gloating but it's hard to tell with this resolution."

This is happening this weekend, including "Dean Wareham Plays Galaxie 500"

Filter mag's Culture Collide Block Party

Wareham performing Galaxie songs, and Marit Larsen later? Hmm
