Los Angeles, I’m sorry! It’s taken me over a week to make this post. I was afraid Dear Leader would rename you Los America or some other inane BS before I got around to it.

This little jaunt came together very last-second, but it was also long overdue and I loved every minute. Even the minutes that involved a Flintstones-themed pizzeria in Topanga populated by wild bees, even wilder children and their disinterested new age mommies. Here are some lovely sights, sounds, scenes, places and faces I encountered on my 4-ish day sojourn, listed in vaguely chronological order. Until next time, amigos!

1. El Rancho Relaxo, my rancho away from home. In fair Glendale, the filet of the city.
2. This, my friends, is known as Fine Art. (“Ultraglide in Mixed Media”, for you music lovers.)
3. My wonderful hosts, who let me borrow their whole living room. [Alexa, play the “Growing Pains” theme song]
4. The Orpheum theater, a time capsule of 70s elegance. Host to Brad Mehldau, in celebration of the life and music of our man Elliott Smith.
5. If Brad Mehldau, Chris Thile, Blake Mills and a 17-piece orchestra started a band, I’d be their biggest fan.
6. No matter the question, the Churro Man has the answer.
7. The tabloids are calling them The Sweethearts of Sherman Oaks. I call them Encino Man and Woman.
8. An order of chiles rellenos so good, it could make a mechanic cry. Thank you, Ms. Daisy.
9. If you like BIG TV, have I got a spot for you!
10. If you like Nate Fernald, have I got a photo for you!
11. Some of the more colorful citizens of Venice Beach.
12. The second-best piano performance I saw that weekend.
13. In a city of angels, I was lucky enough to have lunch with three!
14. “I’ve got my own studio, the son of the G. It’s no question, life’s been good to me.”
15. It’s always nice to meet someone new who also appreciates a good hat.
16. At last, I arrive in Valhalla.
17. Bobby Hill, with words to live by.
18. Oh, Sonny’s rat tail – I think I’ll miss you most of all!
19. How do you make God laugh? Make a plan. How do you make a TSA agent laugh? Be a 48yr old man wearing this shirt at security.
20. Safely returned to the bosom of the Garden State.
