My friend Whitney started using the phrase BSE "Best Summer Ever" a few months ago. One thing that's great about LA is that it's basically summer all year round. So, our BSE started mid-March. BSE started with us (Jennifer, Siobhan, Hollie and me) making it to the bowling finals (see above). It was a great season and we met a bunch of cool people. Unfortunately, our team name was "Don't Look at Our Mole While We Bowl" which Siobhan submitted as a joke. Obviously, no one knew what this meant, and our team name was mis-entered into the system as "Don't Look at My Moke", which even less people understood. This confusion may have worked in our favor, distracting the other teams and helping the Mokes land in the finals. While ultimately we choked under the pressure and lost to Cobra Kai in the first round, we were the only all-girl team to make it to the finals. Go Team Moke!
It is definitely summertime. Cullen threw a crawfish boil in his new house in Echo Park, which is beautiful. He flew in tons of crawfish from Louisiana and boiled them with corn, onions, artichokes and potatoes. It was amazing. I couldn’t stop eating the crawfish even after my lips started burning from all the Cajun seasoning…it was that good. I didn’t grow up eating crawfish - in my neck of the woods, we called them crawdads, and we would catch them in the creek for fun. Late May also marked the beginning of my absolute favorite summer activity - Cinespia (movies in Hollywood Forever Cemetery). The first film was Paul Newman’s Cool Hand Luke, which I’d never seen. The place was packed, and I’m looking forward to spending a lot of time at the cemetery this summer.:) BSE.
