I am here for Dating, Serious Relationships, Friends and Networking

About Me

The Silver Lake area is located just five miles northwest of downtown Los Angeles and just east of Griffith Park. The district gets its name from the Department of Water and Power's Silver Lake Reservoir, which was named after Herman Silver, a member of Los Angeles’ first Board of Water commissioners. The Department of Water and Power established these reservoirs in the early 1900s as part of the city-wide system of water storage & delivery that today has only 10 open reservoirs remaining. Today Silver Lake is best known as Los Angeles' hipster/homo mecca. Annoying hipsters and Village People clones aside, it is truly the best area of Los Angeles - no, the country! So many great artist, musicians, visionaries come outta my 'hood, ya'll. Anyone who says that they "hate Los Angeles" obviously hasn't been to the (North)Eastside, baby!

My Interests

Skunks, Tiki Ti, KCET, the reservoir, Sunset Junction, Millie's, the Silver Lake Neighborhood Council, Eric Garcetti, The Music Box Steps, Western Exterminator, El Chavo, Astro Family Restaurant, Circus of Books, the dog park, Spaceland, Café Tropical, American Electric Tattoo, Silverlake Lounge, tacos, burritos, Pull My Daisy, the dudes that sing at La Parilla, Red Lion, Rockaway Records,Cha Cha Lounge, The Shield on FX, Video Mart and the big 99 cents only store, that huge curbside yard sale by the 101 every Saturday and Sunday, Zen Sushi, the Queen of Silver Lake, Tacos Delta, Eat Well, the Silver Lake Farmer's Market, Big Mac's Liquor, $5 guy, Walking Man, triangle park, the "secret" parking lot for Trader Joe's, artists, musicians, families, hipsters, homos, latinos, anything and everything in between.

I'd like to meet:

Someone who knows that Silver Lake is actually two words. Someone who won't move in and raise my rents to astronomical rates in the name of gentrification. Someone who isn't an asshole landlord trying to circumvent rent control. Butt-less chaps are always a plus. Oh, and it is a rule that anyone that lives here must not work a 9-5 but rather "be in a band" and survive via a plethora of odd jobs.
