wasted with art

Plankton Robots, 2038 Bay Street, Los Angeles, CA
I love after hours events, especially when it’s about art. The city of Los Angeles goes to sleep early, but for those who time is no limitation, there are places that are strategically hidden, but are worth finding. My friend Jonah, an artist had a show in such a place. I almost didn’t find it, but when there is a will, there is a way. Drinks were $1.00, but the music and good times for free. There were lots of drunks, smokers and musicians hanging out at this art scene. We talked about lot of things, topics like art exhibitions prior to this one and others things which I cannot remember. I heard loud music in the back of the room so I started walking towards the wild side. After walking through a long corridor, I was not surprise to see people getting wasted while listening to the live band of the other end. The drunks were getting more than alcohol. There was good music with interesting art around it but eventually, they left to get food to sober up. Jonah told me that he is putting together a band, called “Where is the Moment” and he asked me to be one of the band members. That’s a one time opportunity I couldn’t refuse, so of course, I accepted! Next Sunday is our first rehearsal. As I looked around the place, I realized almost everyone was gone, so it was time for me to make my move too. I took away with me more than just a good time; I took away a memorable experience, thanks to all the talented artists who made this possible to all of us.
