Smash the System

Tipped off by an In The Know co-worker, I defied my recalcitrant cold on Sunday and made a break for a warehouse turned installation in Downtown LA to see the latest stunt by not so underground anymore underground London graffiti artist Banksy. (poor elephant)

I forget that LA has hipsters a la the likes of those found in our old ‘hood of Williamsburg, Brooklyn. But if you are downtown at an art exhibit of any kind, there you will find them – skinny pant wearing boyz, Japanese chickies in silver leather fringed boots and everybody in wife-beaters. Oh, how I miss that scene just a little.
