Vegas Lent! #VegasMate

Cruel, indeed.

Ooh! Vegas chef Roy Choi (Best Friend, Chef Truck) has one of his Kogi BBQ trucks here at Cruel World Festival. Two years ago, I had to deliberately search it out. Today I stumbled across it.

I was gonna be snobby and brag about how I only trust locals when choosing the best meals. After having (good) chain pizza last night, I drove past a taco stand: long line, loud music. I kicked myself. For a late lunch, I tried finding one in Burbank. Took 3 tries. Good though.

Before my late lunch, I visited the old M.A.S.H. set in the Malibu Canyon, a 5.4 mile round-trip hike.

A dam, cowboys, atomic testing, big-league sports, and the Electric Daisy Carnival? It's a progression that seems almost logical when you step through the last 120 years of Las Vegas history, as I do in my latest Informed Informality: dgschwartz.com/2025/05/19/at-…

Fred Meyer (Kroger)’s muzak is playing Ratt, “Round and Round”, and I’ve never felt older.

Seven years since this touching tribute from Paris Las Vegas. #HappyVetsDay #MemorialDaySaysWhat

Don’t tell Angry Seattle or anybody from out of town, but one of the great things about Seattle is that days like today are perfect for grabbing lunch at Ivar’s on the waterfront and watching tourists feed fries to the gulls. It rains tomorrow. Stay away.

It took me a lot longer than it should've for me to understand why WSDOT chose *that* song. Well played, Snoqualmie Pass .

Nice. Torn wallpaper, broken doors... just like it was when I stayed at the IP.

Goonies 40th anniversary today. Time for some rrrrocky rrroad.
