Glow baby Glow


Apparently this blog is turning into me mildly commenting on events in Los Angeles. Last Saturday I went to see Glow in Santa Monica. It was supposed to be a night of light art exhibits and music. It turned into "how many people can we fit on the pier".

The event wasn't great. The music was disappointing. The art wasn't big enough. If you are doing an out door art exhibit, you need to fill the exhibits. Allow people to walk through the light, be surrounded by it. Artists I'm disappointed except for the guy who made the sea creatures under the bridge. That was cool.

But it was cool to sit on the beach and smoke and drink. I have never seen so many people on the beach. An scream fight broke out. That was cool. It made you feel like a member of this city, which is hard because you spend so much time alone in this city. I guess that was cool.

Glow was bad. Bringing thousands of people to the pier to remember you live in a big city was cool.
