The City Of Angels. ala Pinkberry vs Yogurt Land
After the midget episode, Adam & I exhausted resources looking for places to live outside of North Hollywood. We must have looked at more then 40 places, in-between playing Open mics and Adams pre-booked shows. Somewhere inbetween i caught a crazy addiction to Pinkberry, to the point that i have actually broken down all of the items there into a perfect berry storm. Yes , ill share. Step one, sample. always sample. They change there flavours frequently and un announced , not to my approval.
However , heres the moneyshot.
1 Medium ; Chocolate Hazelnut swirled with Salty Carmel
Toppings goes like this;
Strawberries, Blueberries, Raspberries and Mochi Berries (not actually berries, rice cake sort of treats (Topshelf), then on to the bad boy stuff, add Almond Roca & Coconut shavings. Top it with Green Tea Powder ( Macha, my favourite) then hit it with some Vanilla Agovah syrup (not found at all Pinkberry's)
That my friends is the quickest way to a Yogurt addiction. So as i was saying i developed a bit of an addicting guilty pleasure. Thats when i came across Yogurt Land (competitor), this is a to self indulging for me, but to hard to pass up. Its a "pay per weight" self serve version of Pinkberry with more items and cheaper and nobody to make you feel guilty about loading up the yogurt with all the shit (gummi bears, candy etc) That addiction was short lived , back to Pinkberry i sided. (ALL I DO IS POUND)
In anycase, back on the hunt for a better living, off to Venice we go , where the freak flags fly, all day and night. My kind of home. As we begin our search , we find New Years upon us and decide to bring in the New Year in Venice. We meet some great people and find ourself-selves half snapped in an alley reminiscent of a hippie times square. Theres a really amazing image of Charlie Chaplin on the side of a building that cracks a bottle of Champagne at midnight as fireworks light up the beach and sky above. Thats short lived as cab runs over some drunk guys foot and his old lady chases him down throwing gang signs.
The next day , we take a good run up Laurel Canyon to clear our thoughts and bring in the new year in a good way, im uber hungover and crash hard after. We then find a nice spot in the heart of Venice and get our application in and it goes all the way through every channel, right to the owners desk on the holidays. Now we play the waiting game again. Let the games begin.
