As a child i could remember one of my favorite lunch break past times… Dodge ball. Yup, the game where the bullies would headhunt and the girls would scream every time a ball was thrown. It’s back. Leagues are forming all over Los Angeles and heads like Arab Parrot, Hit+Run, Status Faction, and artists from all over L.A are wrecking it big time…

Saturday I headed to the Peterson Automotive Museum for a car show and symposium. Because of the traffic in Los Angeles (even on the weekend) I missed the symposium but made the show and hop. Big Fern, Mister Cartoon and the DeAlbas were on hand with cars and also participated in the symposium.

Mister Cartoon’s latest addition to his stable of cars. I believe its a 39 Dodge.

Sal from SA Studios and his girl.

Individuals Car Club came out and did a hopping demo along with Kool Aid Hydros. There was some breakage.

Folliero’s Pizza ~ 566 N. Figueroa St. Los Angeles, CA 90042 ~ (323) 254-0505

Suck it Brooklyn! While you fiendishly pine for our Southland tacos, we’re over here avoiding the motherfucking Noid from Bravo in Santa Monica to Coop in Cheviot Hills to Mozza in Hollywood (btw, did you know there’s a fancy Mex restaurant in NYC called Florencia13?). Stepping into famous Foliero’s Pizza in Highland Park is like hoo-riding with Doc Brown back to the early 1960’s. Opened 40 years ago, this charming pizza parlour is old school to the bone, a red brick building with a carved wooden doorway, bare brick walls inside, and smiling, laughing families carving up the pies that a cracker jack team of Mexican Mario and Luigis get to tossing. Service is particularly warm and there’s a community vibe here. And beer. They have beer.

The thin crust pizza here is very good, often even great, depending on fate and timing. Rustic and made from scratch, its ilk can be found at authentic diners from Naples to Corsica. You will not get cheesy bread in the crust or 14 pizzas for the price of one, just whole pies that taste rightly of fine olive oil, ripe wheat, basil, mozzarella, along with your fresh ingredients. Some specialty pies bust items like chorizo on them, which I hear is a good call.

Yes, this pizza is on its way towards thin and the baked crust is light and crisp. The cheese is stretchier then one of Plasticman’s loads. Meat toppings are greasy and thus quite tasty, while the veggies can range from overcooked to just right. The sauce does not have much bite, it is just a mellow, ripe base for the party that is to be held in your mouth.
