Aviva and I decided to go to the artist community called the Brewery in south Los Angeles.\u00c2\u00a0 There are at least 100 galleries and artist studios\/lofts in the complex, which used to be a brewery (of course).<\/p>\n

The tee shirt<\/a> I wore this day – “Beware of Perverts” (Chikan chuui), with “Dangerous Persons are in this Area” below.<\/p>\n

This is the postcard for the artwalk.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

There is a huge wooden carousel horse statue outside the Brewery.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The smokestack – see, it says BREWERY on it!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A cool sculpture outside one of the galleries.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

One of the galleries was doing a participation piece – they wanted everyone to write what they’re really good at on the nametag and that would create conversation. Aviva wouldn’t play along, but I did and I wrote “I make computers do things” – I got into two conversations in about a minute!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Our favorite work was probably a range of “dolls” at Let’s Play Dead<\/a> – these were no ordinary dolls, they are distressed.\u00c2\u00a0 Some are Siamese attached at various places, one was impaled on a large spike!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And this is the card for the gallery called Let’s Play Dead.<\/p>\n

After the Brewery we drove a few minutes to Little Tokyo.\u00c2\u00a0 I love my tee shirt – the girl working the floor at Anime Jungle, a great anime figure shop, asked me what the Japanese meant!\u00c2\u00a0 When I told her she giggled.\u00c2\u00a0 Does that make me a pervert (I wasn’t on a train at least).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We had dinner at Izayoi, a restaurant Aviva found in the Sagats guide.\u00c2\u00a0 It was really good – the food is either sushi or tapas-like little plates of things – all very very good!\u00c2\u00a0 The coolest things we had were the savory egg custard and the sesame pudding desert.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
