Since moving to LA, I’ve experienced so many unexpected cool things. Today I got to meet the man that has been making my Strings for years because his shop is about 8 miles from where I live. worked with me today to find the right string gauge which I’m pretty sure is the Stevie Ray Vaughan equivalent of nylon strings.

Just saw this by myself. It’s my new favorite. I’ve never been more physically affected by a film. I really should have had a designated driver. It’s a wonder I made it out to my car ok, let alone home. I felt like I was in a fever dream. Be careful if you haven’t seen this yet. Watch the subtitled version if you can.
