Friday night went to see Jon Brion at Largo with Matt, Angi and Angi's friend Brandi. I am so happy that Angi and Matt introduced me to these shows - it's one of my favorite things to do in LA. Largo is an old-fashioned supper club and Jon Brion is a musical genius/mad scientist that creates songs onstage playing about 12 different instruments at a time and looping them together into a song. He's also a film composer (I Heart Huckabees, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind) and music producer (Kanye West, Fiona Apple, Aimee Mann). His shows are like nothing I've ever seen and each one is different. Friday's highlight was a cover of a Cat Stevens song redone using 2 guitars, a piano and harmonica. Sounds weird, but was really cool.

Where are your winter coats? Oh yeah, you don't live in Chicago anymore. Please tell Brandi that she's a fine girl.
I'm glad you guys had fun! I heart Jon Brion too.
