  • The Cliffhouse Restaurant from “City of Industry”

    For our first wedding anniversary this past weekend, the Grim Cheaper and I headed out to the desert to spend a few days at the La Quinta Resort & Club, a historic hotel and popular celebrity hangout which I blogged about extensively last December.  The GC’s brother, who works for the Hilton Hotels chain, which…

  • “The Perfect Age of Rock & Roll” Premiere
