On February 18th, Crate & Barrel hosted a FREE show with Rachel Platten at The Grove. Rachel released her album, Wildfire, in January and I’ve been obsessed with Fight Song. It has become one of my all time favorite songs. I found out about the event 2 days prior. There was an Eventbrite link to RSVP. Crate & Barrel had snacks, limited signed Wildfire cds for purchase, and a chance to meet Rachel afterwards.

Lights at The Wiltern
I’ve seen Lights perform 6 times in the past 5 years. Last Friday, I went to her concert at The Wiltern in Los Angeles. I have never been to this venue before and paid $20 for parking at the parking garage next door (absolutely insane).
Usually her L.A. shows sell out, but Lights had a show in Anaheim the night before. A group of us were supposed to be seated above in LOGE, but they allowed everyone on the Floor.Read More »
House from Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” Music Video
Towards the end of Michael Jackson’s music video for “Thriller,” you see this house. It’s located in Angelino Heights (northwest to downtown LA) near dozens of other beautiful Victorian homes. Besides the “Thriller” music video, this home was also featured in Charmed (season 4, episode 5) and the 1989 movie, Teen Witch.
Several homes on this street have also been used for more filming locations. I’m not familiar with Charmed, but another house from that TV show is located a few doors down at 1329 Carroll Avenue. If you’re a fan of The Office, Holly’s home is nearby at 1347 Kellam Avenue.Read More »
Mindy Kaling “Why Not Me?” Book Signing at The Grove
One thing I love about The Grove in Los Angeles is the book signings at Barnes & Noble. I follow “Barnes & Noble Events at The Grove” on Twitter and read that Mindy Kaling was going to have a book signing in October. Her TV show, The Mindy Project, is one of my favorite comedies right now. I had a feeling this book signing would be a popular one! Barnes & Noble at The Grove have their own Facebook page and according to their event page, over a thousand people planned on attending. It ended up getting postponed from Friday, October 2nd to Thursday, October 8th.
Taylor Swift Concert at the Staples Center (1989 World Tour)
The Staples Center has been on my bucket list for years. Not for a sports game, but to see a concert. The first time I saw Taylor Swift was in San Diego for her Speak Now tour in 2011. When her 1989 album dropped last year, I knew I had to go see her in concert again! I was unsure if I should choose to see her in SD or LA. San Diego tickets released first and I wasn’t excited about the seating chart for Petco Park. The fans seemed so far away from the stage. I knew Los Angeles shows sold out much quicker, but I didn’t care. I wanted to at least try and get tickets. It was going to be my most expensive concert ticket purchase, ever. I had a feeling she was going to add more shows in LA and she did! Read More »
“New Girl” Apartment
When New Girl first aired, I was obsessed. A few years ago, my best friend and I decided to spend a day touring filming locations on our own. I highly recommend putting a list together and mapping out the places you want to see. This was our first stop that morning. Once we turned onto this street, it stood out. You can’t miss it! The New Girl apartment is located in the Arts District of Downtown Los Angeles.
