Friday one of the subway station in Toronto, Canada flooded and of course come people decided to have a little photoshop fun with it and someone make this. A friend of mine that found the image sent it to me knowing I would like it, and of course I do. Anyways here is the story.
Something I found on the subway awhile back. Parody of the N.W.A. album Straight Outta Compton.
Something I found on reddit. Back in the old days here in LA, long before I was born we had a massive rail system here, and I do mean massive, it went everywhere. Also from what I understand the entertainment industry liked this a lot to. By the early 60’s the rail lines where gone. Then starting sometime in the 90’s the county has been working to bring these rail lines back because here in LA, we have traffic problems. Ride the 405, you’ll get it. So one project is to extend the purple line that started at Union Station and currently ends at by Koreatown going to Santa Monica by the beach. This would be extremely helpful because that ride over on the road is awful.
But there is one problem with this, the city of Beverly Hills wants to be annoying saying that don’t want the line going through the city or a stop there because it will bring poor people. I’ve been around Beverly Hills, it’s not that interesting anyways. So now the high school there is being a pain in the ass because the line will end up going under it, go figure.
And now to tell the story. The day started off with everyone meeting at the Hollywood and Vine red line station but because the train I was on decided to sit at one stop a few minutes longer then it needed to I ended up missing the first meet up. But with luck I got to see everyone at the first location we where going to on the subway, Barnsdall Park where we could see the Barnsdall Art Park and/or Hollyhock House. We hung around there for a good while, talked, took photos and such.
The next location was Olvera Street where Heritage Day was going on. They always seem to have something going on there don’t they? Where we got some food then across the street to Union Station where we got some drinks, hung more, and took a group photo of the lot of us together. After that we went on the subway again going to Angels Flight, the worlds shortest rail line in the world and learned the history of the area.
Last thing of the day was Chinatown, first taking the red line to union then the gold. Those of us left went to a restaurant, ate more and hung in the area to maybe do some shopping. I ended up taking off during that. It was a long day but fun, would do again.
Also I found some scientologists on the subway during the event. Looks like I need to make some cards linking to clambake. And now all scientologist that ride the subway are going to be briefed on me on who to look out for when talking to people because I’m sure they check the site all the time. Unless they don’t care about me anymore which would be sad.
An event by railLA, a Whistle-stop tour of historic Los Angeles! We’ll dress up and take to the rails in dapper attire to celebrate the history, culture, and future of Los Angeles and its rail lines!
Those who ‘dress dapper’ will be invited to attend art shows, tours, meet ups, and free events along the rail lines in LA. All that is required is a ticket to ride the rails and you – dressed up in your dapper attire of choice. Part performance art, part cultural experiment, Dapper Day on the Subway is about exploring the lost luxury and convenience of rail travel, embracing rail as a gateway to culture, and having a lot of fun while doing it!
railLA is hosting our first Dapper Day on the Subway this year on Sunday, April 29, 2012.

I just came across this one. I posted another video of her being a little goofy but I will always remember that time I was heading home and she gave me that sandwich.
Yes! they are online now. Alright now let me tell you about my adventure, first thing I did was I went down to Hollywood to find the right phone store because I was having a problem with mine and I wanted it fixed so I can use it again. During this extra trek I was finding that my timing seemed to of been going well then I started heading back over to North Hollywood to meet with my crowd for the ride to Union Station. So as I was heading over to union one of the people I was talking to on the ride over had the idea we run over to the other cars and meet with idea people on them and take more photos and after riding the train for a half hour we finally made it.
Greeting us at Union Station was a larger number of people that rode over from other lines in LA coming from Pasadena, East LA, and Koreatown. After roaming around the place for 30 to 45 minutes we all hopped back on the red line going to Hollywood once again for a group photo at the Chinese Theatre and then just wander about the area.
Lots of people on the subway come to discover this and found it very funny, while others clearly looked disturbed and likely wanted to shoot themselves in the face.
Alright, once again nothing. This week, as I was heading to downtown for new year sI found this guy past out but the countdown could even start and I have no idea what happen. Can you tell?
I kind of feel it’s missing something but over all I’m happy. Also I put Wakko from Animaniacs in because he isn’t wearing any pants, and I love that cartoon. If you haven’t seen it look for it.
Also happy new year, hope this one brings lots of new things for me to do.
Alright I know last weeks photo was bad, but I couldn’t find anything that good so I panicked and went with that… this week, love them? don’t shoot them. why?
Yeah all I can find slightly new years related. The best part was this photo was taken in July last year.
