Dreaming California

For those of you who want to know, over the last couple of days I was in Brea, California visiting my parents where I didn't have the time or a fast enough Internet connection to put together a new hardcore show or post a new video.

I wanted to do it for you, really I did, but it just didn't happen. I did get to shoot some video of a hike I went on with my dad, and also put together a little video of my nephews using some of my mom's photos and clips I shot of the kids on Saturday. Though it might be a great deal like family vacation footage, I am editing one of these into the next Brooklyn Kitchen video.

I also visited the Brea Tower Records (only a Toyota Tacoma's throw from my parent's house) where the jazz section was less picked over than in NYC. I only bought a boxed set of Charlie Parker recordings ($25.00), something I've been meaning to do for a long time. As a result, this Sunday's Hardcore Show may include a large chunk of Bird's early sides.
