Tomorrow I’ll be heading over to the Sunset Junction Street Festival with one of my super-cool-music-industry friends. Well, she was my friend before she was a super-cool-music-industry person….Not she is my friend BECAUSE she is a super-cool-music-industry person. Okay, I’ll admit it. She’s my friend because she’s good looking. UCLA or USC Campus Confidants should make their way over to the East Side with us since apparently there is soooo much more than all the great music. I’m looking forward to seeing the Submarines (more than just my obsession with Apple computers) as well as a few of my super-cool-music- industry friend’s suggestions:
War Tapes
Dengue Fever
Nico Vega
The Delta Spirit
Islands
Conor Oberst
PS ….How many more times do you want me to say super-cool-music-industry friend?
PPS…I encourage all of you to be even more super-cool by going green and heading to the festivities via Metro like we are! Below are the Metro instructions according to the site. It will be quite the adventure but we’re willing to forge ahead into the unknown for Mother Earth.
Take the Metro to the Santa Monica-Vermont or the Sunset-Vermont Stops.
Either walk (5 blocks, going east on Santa Monica or Sunset Blvds.) or take the bus (routes 2, 3 or 4) going towards downtown (east), and get off at Hoover Street (route 4) or at Fountain Avenue (route 2 or 3).

I remember a time in LA where the taco truck was a shameful crime. Despite being ever-so-tasty, did you really know what kind of meat was in your super speedy burrito? Please believe this girl has had her fair share of hot dogs from a cart vendor in Santee Alley in Downtown LA. Those discount prom dresses always came with a $1.50 hot dog!!!
This is a re-post of a great great great article from Daily Candy showcasing the revival and gentrification of the LA Taco Truck. But I have to add to their post because they forgot the best taco truck of them all, KOGI KOREAN BBQ! This Taco truck serves up Korean tacos. Yes, I know what you’re thinking. But one bite of a Korean Short Rib Taco and you will claim yourself converted. And if you don’t believe me than you can ask every studio executive in LA who this truck serves up weekly. If it’s good enough for the people who green-light George Clooney’s projects its good enough for your 12 am “fourth meal”. To top off all their glorious food, the guy behind their Twitter tweets is really funny and a little bit gangsta. Come on, you gotta be creative when you’re serving up Korean tacos on a truck.
Follow Kogi Korean BBQ-To-Go here on Twitter. And read about their amazingly sweet story here in the LA Times.
Below is Daily Candy’s list and to read the full details of their favorite LA trucks check out their article here.
