Jill, Kendra and I went to Coney Island to see the White Stripes at Keyspan Park. I had never been to Coney Island before, and the first time I learned that Coney Island, is in fact, NOT AN ISLAND. First thing we did was to go on the Cyclone. It was so old and scary, I was screaming and laughing at the same time. You could actually feel the cars lift of the tracks several times throughout the ride. After the Cyclone we went and got a hot dog at Nathan's. It is true what they say--those hot-dogs were so GOOD, even though we had to wait in line for 55 minutes to get them! Oh and we also ordered a large beer and it was so ridiculously big. Jill and I were so embarrassed! After our snack we went over to Keyspan Park to go the White Stripes concert. Before we went I was pretty excited, I had a feeling it was going to be a great venue. Boy was I wrong. Sigh. It Sucked. First of all the stage was so far away, that even with my super zoom Canon Rebel, I could not get a decent shot of the band. Never mind the netting they had in front of us, or the huge sound tent the obstructed the view of the best seats in the house. The sound was OK, but I may have well been listening to a live recording at an outdoor dance club--they were so far it barely mattered. It was really disappointing. But my love for Meg & Jack white is unconditional, and I forgive them. It was a great idea, but next time please play somewhere amazing like the Bowery Ballroom, only sell tickets through your website, for your true fans, and no one else.

Here are some pics that managed to come out:

Saturday we woke up early and left beautiful downtown San Pedro and went back to Pauls fabulous Hollywood abode. We washed up and went to Rita Flora Kitchen for brunch. This is where Paul and i met my second day in Los Angeles, he hired me. 7 months later he fired me for taking to many vacations. We've been best friends ever since. Then we went shopping at The Grove, which is this big outdoor mall where the farmers market used to be on Fairfax & 3rd. I bought the most spectacular hand embroidered jacket, it is so amazing. I also got a gorgeous lace blouse. Jill didn't buy anything, I guess she couldn't find anything.
After shopping Paul gave Jill and I his car and we went to the Ole Henriksen Skin Care Center for the best facials either of us have ever had in our lives. My skin is glowing.

That night we met all of our friends at a Mexican restaurant on Sunset Blvd. that has flaming margaritas, yup they were on fire! The food was great too. Then we went to Pauls friends Seth spectacular apt. on Santa Monica for a drink, and then off to my friend Jakes party in Santa Monica. It was such a great night. Here are some of the highlights:

Oh my old friend Lola came to see us off at the airport! She couldn't party with us all weekend because she is 6 months pregnant!

Jill and i flew into LA on Friday and my dear sweet husband picked us up at 8:30 and wisked us off to beautiful downtown San Pedro to see our favoite punk band in the whole world, Toys That Kill play at Harolds Place, their local bar. We decided to get a hotel room there so no-one had to drive drunk. we stayed the the beautiful Vagabond Inn in downtown San Pedro. Classy, but responsible. Jill, Paul, Elliot and i arrived at Harolds around 10:30, right in time to catch Foxy Autopsy. We all enjoyed many drinks and sang Happy Birthday to Jill. All of Toys That Kill were there--they were all so cute. We got pretty excited when they went on-we made them play all of our favorite songs, except Blanket, because Jimmy didn't know how to play it. Jill and I ended up in the mosh pit, but were prmptly removed by two huge guys, I think we were stepping on people with our stilletos. Oops sorry guys, but you did't need to spill whisky down our shirts either!
After the concert, we all went back to our luxery suite at the Vagabond hotel and partied to the wee hours. We also invented a new game called I-Pod Kareokee.
Got to be at 5:00am, but I made sure to wake up everyone on at 9:00am the next morning for shopping. Anyway, here are the pictures from Friday night:

Live from Trinity College in Hartford Ct:

My sister, Lorraine:

Look how gorgeous she is! Love the fedora babes, I wish I was still in college--looks so fun! And look how highly designed your dormroom is--my room was a dump with a cot in the corner. Then again Centenary College is a dump. Send me more pics and I can have a monthly college update entry--you know to sex up the blog a little bit with hot college teens. aha ha ah aha ha ahha just joking (sorry Mom)!

Cheers,

Jill, Kendra and I went to see Coldplay tonight at the Garden. This is my third time seeing them, and they were amazing. They just keep getting better and better. We had great tickets from the bands pre-sale on the floor, in section 6! Note to self, wear comfortable shoes when you have floor tickets, because you have to stand the whole time to see anything, and doing it in heels basically sucks for your feet!

PICS:

Chris Martin, Coldplay:

I am not obsessed with Chris Martin (ok, maybe a little bit), but there were so many people around me, it was hard to get a clear shot of anyone but him:

This is when he came into the crowd and sang right behing us:

Last night our dearest and queerest, Really Gay Dave turned 30. We all celebrated with dinner at Paprika on St. Marks in the E. Village. Of course the night ended perfectly with Steve sticking a dollar in the ass of a homeless mans blow-up doll.

Happy Birthday Dave!:

Alice & Jill (in her sensational new dress):

We even had a cake for Steve, who turned 29 on Friday, but spent his time with his "other" friends:

So we went out on Friday night and celebrated Steve's b-day, even though he didn't show up. He went out with his "Columbia Univ." friends. Whatever, we had a great time.

Then on Saturday afternoon, I headed up to CT for the weekend with my family. Sunday was Grandma's birthday and we celebrated at McKenzie's in Old Greenwich. Grandma got hammered on one drink called the Commuter Punch, it was simaler to a Long Island Iced Tea, lots of booze. She started berading me about having a baby!! Ugh, I told her maybe I would get pregnant in the punk rock house when I go to LA. Ah ah aha ah aha ha ha. Anyway, the rest of the weekend was spectacular, chillin with my parents and going to the beach with Stinky Kyle on Monday. I got great color! Love it!

I know I am sorry I have not updated in over a week. It was a rough week watching one of my favorite cities drown, and then watching the government in my country desert thousands of poor people. The whole situation was really just making me sick to my stomach. Jill and I have opened the Barbie Dream Loft up to a hip young refugee through moveon.org--I know, not only are we cute, smart and fabulous--we are so unbelievably fucking nice!. God there is nothing we can't do.
In better news, Toys That Kill, my favorite band in the WHOLE world, has set up a show at Harolds in San Pedro, CA on September 16, 2005, for Jill's birthday, while we are in Los Angeles! I am so excited. Pauls says we will probably get to party in their Punk Rock House after the show, because it is where they live. Just thinking about a Punk Rock House filled with cute punk rock boys in California makes me ovulate.

Cheers,

Jocelyn
