Come for the drinks, stay for the food.
Who’s that knocking at my door? Don’t cha wanna know? Don’t cha? I’m not surprised that when I’m fortunate enough to have LA Observed link to me, (and Defamer, through LAO), I get many new visitors, but hundreds more? A friend and I were discussing this, and when I told her that I got even more visits than when Editor & Publisher mentioned me, she said, “Well, that makes sense. Kevin is the conduit to the West for everyone on the East Coast. Who else are they going to call?” LA Observed’s latest mention of me was the unfortunate and violent draining of Silver Lake. Of course, everyone likes to…

A slight change. Updated. Again.
My blog and website have just been moved to the updated server of my…server. They tried 3 times before and it didn’t work, but they said it did this time, and now my life will truly get better.

Note to Self.
We had a good meeting of the PROS committee last night, and I learned some things about weed seeds, we won a case with the District Attorney!, the City department who approves permits could be a teeny-tiny bit corrupt, and someone said he supported me in an incident a few months ago, WHEN MY COUNCILMAN SCREAMED AT ME. All of these, coming up shortly when I’m done my deadline. Oh, and a big Yay, CNN linked to me this weekend to my post on the Siberian tiger attack in San Fran!! Guess that makes me a Blogger now. Also, I’m going international, at least with my cartoons. I was invited…
