I like the beautiful old chola with the bad attitude more than one high on angel dust, it's a better representation of a chicana. nine out of ten cholas in my family agree! Lol.... Next time it should be me at there tent with a 40 in my hand....... - Angelica

Great pics but I especially love that first one. I love everyone's facial expressions.

It wasn't just that the ice cream van was the most expensive ice cream van ever -- everything was the most expensive everything ever. It was great fun though, despite the whole "this Blonde Redhead show is boring and everyone here is overheated and on the verge of punching one another" debacle (under the Bates street sign on Saturday night). This post reminded me I took pictures. I should probably plug the camera in.

I love the Jimi Hendrix dude talking to the LAFD guys. Sat next to him at ArthurFest. The man is possessed with genius.

Soooo....who is that old man on the right in the first photo? Always see him at reggae shows at the Echo etc. He can really get his skank on! Amazing. What's the scoop?
