Speaking of fruit and stringing together a linear narrative, I’ll post up a few pics so you can string along [...]

THINGS TO LOOK FORWARD TO IN THE YEAR 2012

For all of y’all a-feared of the coming apocalypse, you can be happy to note that Kogi BBQ has taken a public stance against it.  Which totally nullifies its power and usurps the possibility of it ever transpiring.  And if I’m wrong, I guess we’ll find out December 21st, 2012.  And we’ll see who’ll be [...]

HAVE YOU SEEN THIS WIZARD? — also, about Silver Lake last weekend

The universe must be very aware that I have a penchant for MISSING/LOST fliers and strange, unusual things.  I was jogging (no worries, I don’t do it very often) around Los Feliz/Hollywood when I came across posters for what looked like a magician’s version of a garden gnome.  The actual flier is as follows: I’m [...]

If y’all want Kogi back in your neighborhood, give us a holler. Preferably RIGHT HERE.

Aloha, y’all, Before I git into the stuff that tickles my short attention span, I’ve been getting a lotta random hollers on our Twitter feed, something akin to: “Why no more Hawthorne??”, “No more Whittier?”, and “You used to roll to El Segundo!!  WHY DON’T YOU LOVE US ANYMORE???” And the answer is that we [...]
