It's a $18 pre-order and $20 at the door, but no one will be turned away for lack of funds. Should you be able to help spread the word, it would be immensely appreciated as the Echoplex is a really large room and we'd love to pack it out.
theLAnd is partially the result of an editorial collective of six—all but one of who were staffers, editors, columnists, or freelancers at the old L.A. Weekly (RIP), once L.A.’s most vaunted, progressive and culturally significant alternative newspaper, bought and gutted over a year ago by a semi-anonymous cabal of Republican donors and Trump supporters from Orange County. We watched the murder of the Village Voice, the Houston Press, Creative Loafing, and the East Bay Express and resolved that we wouldn’t let the same forces kill local, independent journalism in L.A.
Our contributing writers and photographers represent many of the city’s finest—all of them singularly devoted to helping realize our mission. None of us did this for money, but rather, we did it because we believed that this was a necessity. TheLAnd is by locals, for locals.

Many of you reading this aren’t from LA, but it’s where I was born and raised, third-generation local, loyal to the soil—the people, cultural institutions, artifacts, franchises, and native eccentricity that make it unique. Few things were as valuable to my adolescent and early adult education as the LA Weekly. It illuminated hole-in-the-wall restaurants, municipal graft, lurid crimes, real estate chicanery, essential art films and docs, esoteric bands and underground rappers I needed to know. It was indispensable on every level. For most of my life, the Hollywood cliché threatened to swallow LA whole. It was a slanted portrayal, rooted in truth but exaggerated. There was so much more vibrancy to this place, the slang, sabor, and essence that outsiders couldn’t grasp.
The writers at the LA Weekly understood that and chronicled its complexity like no other publication. They knew that it was no longer 72 suburbs in search of a city, but a city whose greatest charms revealed itself only to the curious and intrepid. Whereas most were distracted by LA’s superficial charms, the Weekly consistently revealed its actual spine.
I’ll never forget the day that Randall Roberts first e-mailed me to ask me if I wanted to write for LA Weekly. I was basically a kid with a small blog, who could count his paid writing gigs on one hand. It was a dream that I never woke up from. My first piece started a war with the band, Deerhunter. My second piece was on Soulja Boy and wound up anthologized in the Best American Music writing, 2007. I never looked back.
Somehow, a decade passed. In that span, I’ve worked with some of the finest editors imaginable. I’ve made some of the best friends of my life working for the paper, but it went deeper than that. These were a-alikes who understood the culture from the inside out. An institutional knowledge that can’t be duplicated or replaced.
During my time there, I’ve been fortunate enough to write cover stories on Madlib, DJ Quik, Busdriver, Freddie Gibbs, Tyler, the Creator, and too many others to list. I’ve covered the Lakers from the press box at Staples Center, and even got shouted out on the first page of Phil Jackson’s book for something I wrote in LA Weekly.
For the last six years, I’ve written the Bizarre Ride column, which has been the most enriching experience of my professional
