The Greatest..
Thursday saw the start of my infatuation with Brea, California. 
The city itself? Just a bad Irvine ripoff... but they did have one thing there this weekend that made up for everything: Norm McDonald!
Norm performed Thursday thru Sunday, and I was fortunate enough to catch his first and last performance.
God I love that guy. I wish I could just recite the entire routine here verbatim, but it just wouldnt do it justice. He is getting old and ornery, but he is better then ever. My stomach still hurts.
Speaking of the greatest, Saturday saw the first ever game for Beckham in the MLS.
He only played for 12 minutes, but it wasnt about his game, it was just about his mere presence.
The other game played was pretty good as well, Suwon taking on Tigres.
And even better, The Simpsons Movie sponsored the whole thing.
Oh right, almost forgot about the madness on Friday. We did some work for the CW again, this time here in LA. Here is the grand party we attended at the Pacific Design Center.
Then it was off the the Hollywood Bowl to see Jaime Cullum. This little guy has always been one of my favorite performers. His style: Pop Standards a la the American Songbook that are modern yet classic. And now putting him in front of an orchestra... magnifico.
And when he played what has become my favorite Sinatra song, "I've Got You Under My Skin", I just... well, I could have heard it over and over.
And finally, just for the hell of it, I swung by the Grove to check out the Harry Potter madness.
Spoiler alert: Turns out this is the book he finally comes out of the closet.

Worth a Thousand...
Fourth of July Party at Artist Wendy West's
Fourth of July Soccer
I finally got into the Kwik-E-Mart down the street
I have been several times since, and everytime I go, all the Krusty O's, Buzz, etc is sold out. All they have are the never-ending array of Simpsons toys. I thought this was a convenience store?
5th of July BBQ
Riding in Downtown
Sunday at the Bowl - Groove Armada and Cafe TaCuba
Taco Zone in Echo Park - the Taco Truck outside Vons:
I guess its not really a Taco Truck, but more of a Taco Trailer
Although a little more expensive then its truck counterparts, it is definitely worth it, and a great place to get that midnight snack.
Finally, Beckham is in town. I worked both his arrival press conference and his first practice. Talk about nutty, its great to finally see soccer get some love in this country.
