Remember how fun it was kicking around that big red ball in elementary school? Adults are reliving that with kickball being all the rage right now. WAKA which is also known as the World Adult Kickball Association has really taken off in the United States over the past few years. The league is in midseason right now but sign up for next season!

June 2007 Archives
Just a heads up that Yep Roc duo, The Moaners, are hitting the road with Jesse Sykes and the Sweet Hereafter! Their publicist, Jenny, says "the Moaners have managed to capture the unapologetic sexuality of Polly Jean Harvey and combine it with the raw amplified blues of the Fat Possum crowd." That's sort of true. I think of Tom Waits as a woman playing a saw.
We already know I love Jesse Sykes: moody, spacey, dreamy alt country so slow and sad it makes the Cowboy Junkies sound like dance music.
I also love Bordello, L.A.'s sexiest new bar. Can you say romance? Can you say classy? Jen took me there for my birthday and bought me expensive drinks. Thanks, Jen!
But why Wednesday night? I don't love Wednesday night, and it doesn't love me. It's so far from Friday, they're not even speaking. Do what you can. That's all I ask.
I went to a kids birthday bowling party last weekend at Tustin Lanes. I got a strike the first time I rolled the ball. I also got one of the top scores, but most of the other bowlers were six and seven years old. It was fun to play with bumpers. That was the good news.
The bad news is that about half the kids got sick. Those poor little kindergarteners spent the last week of school hacking like old chain-smokers.
This week I heard Kevin & Bean interview the Loch Ness Monster on KROQ, saw a car in the left-turn lane with its right-turn signal on, and watched a high-speed car chase on FOX. Does life in LA get any better?!
(Please notice I didn't say anything about Paris Hilton. I'm sick of hearing about her, and so are you.)
