Welcome to Hollywood

Well, actually, downtown LA. This is where I’m mixing my record. We’ve started working on it and it already sounds great—I’m very excited!

It’s been almost two years since I’ve been in LA and coming from Paris now, I really see the difference between East and West Coast. People generally are more open here, friendlier, than they are in either NYC or Paris. It’s kind of a relief, actually, because nobody’s guard seems to automatically be up—like they are in my former and current hometowns. I think the sunshine just makes people a little more relaxed. (I mean, it fries their brains in other ways, too, I know.)

So yay LA! I’m happy to be here for the moment, though it’s not like I’m touring the sites or anything (you know, the Walk of Fame, Fred Segal, the Grove, Kitson’s, etc and so on… Hey, strip mall culture abounds here.) I am going to try a yoga class today and I’m thrilled about all the great Mexican food I can eat while I’m here, not to mention, In-N-Out burgers!!

Now if only I could drive…
