Last night was I went to an art show with Nick and Jessica in Little Ethiopia on Fairfax. We got there early so we decided to try out Ethiopia food. I called my boss Brenda to see if she knew any good places because she knows so many restarants. They basically all look the same so we just decided to go to this one with little huts inside. The place was cool and everything but we didnt know what to order so we told our waitress and so she brought us this huge place with a little bit of everything on it. I really had no idea what anything was except for the lamb part. The rest was AWFUL SO SO SO SO NASTY. I CAN'T BELIVE IT. Okay, well the first couple bites were okay, you know different. Man, then our stomachs started hurting just looking at it. We ate like nothing I felt kinda rude. So then we went to Starbucks and walked over the gallery.
So the Gallery was for Tony Alva. Tony Alva was the first guy to catch air out of a pool on a skateboard. He was also the part of the lords of dogtown. I remember I loved that movie when it came out! So we looked at the art that was there. Nick bought a poster and an Alva deck and had him sign it. I got to meet Shepard Fairy, the Obey artist, and Tony Alva himself. I really liked the atmosphear alot and I want to go to another one :)

The posters were onsale for $80, and I just looked on ebay and they're going for $299 at the least! I should have got one.
