FYI, for those of you in Hollyweird, Mel Brooks is getting his star this Friday. If I was home, you know I'd be there.

Quick update on Adventures in Renting:
Went to the Rent Stabilization board today. Spoke with four different people, all four said different things, contradicting each other. Was told by the main woman at Rent Stabilization that "they" would not come into our apartment today. One inspector said that they were only going to one apartment (not ours). The main inspector said that they were going into all of the apartments (yet the others did not receive notices), and that they would not come here today. We were also told that our building is not covered under Rent Control since the new owners bought the building (in 2001 with a loan of one million, seven hundred thousand dollars from the West Hollywood Community Development Commission-which is part of West Hollywood city government) and turned into low income housing (we are legacy tenants and not under the low income program). We went to the rent stabilization board to find out if the notice was legal. We showed them the agreement (that we have copies of) between the city of West Hollywood and the non profit that says specifically that we are covered under rent control. Yet, everyone at rent control said that because we are now owned by the non profit that we are NOT covered under rent control and that we are under L.A. County laws. WTF? The adventure continues...

Trekking to Frenzy Stamper in Scottsdale, AZ today. I can't wait!!!! If you see a redhead blasting music on the 10 going East, with art supplies bursting out of the car, wave!
