Basic Stuff Vintage [Tomorrow in Torrance]

Attention cats and birds:

Come on down, the price is right. Check out the new street-market in Old Torrance, DOWNTOWN TORRANCE MARKET PLACE and buy some raddd stuff. The fair is filled with antiques, vintage clothing, art, food and music and of course the highlight of your week, the Hirtzels. We have clothing for men and women from the 60’s, 70’s, 80’s, a few antiques and a good supply of vintage cameras. And get this: MOST STUFF IS UNDER 10 BUCKS. Shop or just stop by and say “wasup” because we love you, Internet.


Support the community and don’t forget to tell facebook you will be there: I love Basic Stuff.


If you can’t make it go see our friends at Lopalopa in Hermosa.

*Reblog for a $2 discount (hint: that means some things would be free)*

Sliding back into an old place is a strange feeling. Not bad, but strange like that old pair of pants you found in the back of the closet that you forgot about. Slide them on and they fit just like you remember but they still feel different somehow. It’s been lovely showing my San Diego friends around my city. From P.V. to the Hollywood hills, we had a grand shenaniganly time. But as I stomp these grounds again, I feel like am a familiar foreigner. I feel like a local-tourist.

It is wonderful to be home. Staycation some people call it. A road trip home, showing my San Diego friends the great South Bay tour, visiting dear old friends and hanging with my family (like my lovely sister pictured here). I can feel myself spreading out: I am not longer just from L.A. I am also not just from San Diego. Neither do I think my roots will stop there. I can feel life shifting, growing and extending. My flowers here are drying out, creating new seeds, almost ready to fly to someplace new. For now it is good to be home, in anticipation of the wind coming to carry me away.
