Dig it all has shoes twice a month check us out on Instagram. We also recently had a Rudolph Valentino memorial party after celebrating the 98th Valentino memorial service at Hollywood forever cemetery..
Paul, Picasso Trova and I enjoyed the ceremony which was beautifully performed inside the church . Jeffery valance was there Gloria O an LA favorite photographer Gary Leonard was snapping the pics. I saw some people having a wonderful punk rock birthday luncheon on Vampira’s grave .

Well curated, we did the tomato dip, plenty art gallery opening a couple years ago at art share which is a very large space and filled it with hundreds of pieces of his work. It’s always a reunion when we get together..
Tomatoes are plenty was the lead singer of a band called the screamers in the early 80s talented to be the first punk rock band in LA. He also made a movie called population one which is a European style flick which you can see on YouTube. He was an artist, a writer, and an all-around great guy. It’s always nice to celebrate his contributions to our community as an artist and the singer.
I went to knucklehead and saw the new wild Kings of midnight with Gitaine Demone formally of Christian death and Paul Rossler formally of the Screamers creating great movie soundtrack music for the future.
Knucklehead is a cute little golf club on Santa Monica Blvd. near Vine across the street from three of clubs where HTTH was performing. They have a metal scene going on over there. I really like that food truck that’s right there.
