Sunset Junction '08.

One of my favorite things to look forward to every summer in LA LA LAND, is the Sunset Junction in Silverlake. It's a huge street fair/booze fest/pride/street scene concert that's been taking place since the 70's. I gotta admit this year the tickets went up in cost $20 bucks, where last year it was $10 bucks and the year before it was free, but I had such a good time this year that it was well worth the ticket price. Plus our friend's hooked it up up with free beer -yeah! Which was rad because instead of going up to the margarita and beer stands at the fair, and just buying a drink, you had to first wait in line to buy a drink ticket and THEN go wait in line to get your drink. They said this whole concept is suppose to illiminate long lines at the drink stands, which yes I did agree with, but if the people who run sunset junction want to be so precautios about not serving to under age kids - they better think again. It's easy to get a ticket! Did I mention I lost my licenese duringt this whole ticket/drink line process? Yeah, it sucked. But i'm excited to get an updated ID since my picture was from 10 years ago. Anyways, here are some highlights from the fun-filled day.

This chica rocked it out. I forgot her name but I think she was from Columbia or somewhere close. It was the first band we saw, loved her chic little outfit. It was so hot this day we didn't stay for the whole set, but she totally got us pumped for the day. On our way to our friend Stephanie's pad, we ran into this "get your recycle on" man. Support the environment and recycle!
It was so hot out, our friend Stephanie lives right up the street from the fair, so we went over to her neighbors pad, to enjoy some ice cold beers, kiddy pool, and garage sale fun. Amanda and Eric had a good time playing dress up with the items for the garage sale. Amanda loved this wig so much she wore it the whole day - work it out sista!

Eric also loved his viking hat so much he sported it the whole day. I guess I was chicken, I just sported my regular do' the whole day.
I kinda dug this purse from the garage sale:)

My friend Monica and I, in front of of the backdrop which she swore looked just like Costa Rica! Her soon to be home sweet home, and my soon to be vacation spot.

After a few beers, we headed back down to the junction for some good mexican grub and more musica. The crowd was awesome, and that man in the sunglasses - hottie!Me, Amanda and Steph during Kinky...yes the band. They were awesome! My favorite part of the day.
