Friday, September 9 in LA




I've been to PASH once and had a good time. The jocks spin good rock from the mid to late '70's - super obscure stuff on vinyl. Normally I'd post a one-off for Friday but tonight there's not much going on. I'm attending a birthday party in Los Feliz and am getting my game together for Bocce ball finals tomorrow afternoon. More to come for Saturday night.
