Dispatches from the City of Angels
I'm a writer and humorist living in and writing about Los Angeles. You can catch my novel LOSING CLEMENTINE out March 6 from William Morrow. In the meantime, feel free to poke around. Over at my website you can find even more blog entries than I could fit here, as well as a few other ramblings. Enjoy and come back often.

Everything I need to know I learned at the Coachella music festival
1. Fire ants can, in fact, swim underwater. Also bite.
2. If you leave a Peep marshmallow treat floating in a swimming pool overnight, the sugar coating will dissolve, but the underlying synthetic white stuff will not. This is scary. Don't eat Peeps.
3. Half a dozen responsible, intelligent, successful adults may not be enough to figure out how to operate a new fangled oven, even if several of them have advanced degrees and were only a little drunk.
4. There are some seriously freaking nasty spiders in the desert. At least one of them will find its way into your shower. Screaming is a perfectly acceptable response to this.
5. Soy chorizo is, believe it or not, a tasty food product.
6. Golf carts make fine transportation devices even on roads. Are also awesome.
7. The effectiveness of coffee as a hangover cure exists in inverse proportion to your age. Forewarned is forearmed.
