The world’s oldest McDonald’s, in Downy, CA.
Fun fact: This is the only McDonald’s that was never controlled by the McDonald’s Corporation… until 1990 when it was taken over by the McDonald’s Corporation.
Still sells deep-fried pies, though!

Showrunners who demand perfection often seem crazy.
Fortunately, Bryan Konietzko’s craziness extends mostly to stuff like this — not being a Dan Harmon-esque psychopath. (BK co-created Korra/Avatar.)
I “performed” this “dance” for video reference of this kid in episode 302 of Avatar, “The Headband.” … I think my back still hurts.
Beck - last night at the El Rey Theatre in LA
First full LA show in 4 years; first time with classic band lineup in 10 years; club show; hometown show; played most of Odelay; played most of Sea Change; played a request; and played it all with a huge number of instruments. Clearly, Beck is a musician’s musician.
I know I have a tendency toward hyperbole, but this might actually have been my favorite show ever.

To quote a magician named Gob: I’m having an incredible year.
