So I walked into a drug store called Pharmacy 2000 in Westwood Village. For reals. I figured this place must have the most advanced techniques to heal my infected throat. Plus I don’t have medical insurance. So I’m hoping some loratadine and pain killers will prevent this from worsening while we record this week. This stuff kills my appetite.

My friend Bryan came back into town today. He turned me on to Candelas Guitars. They’re made right here in Los Angeles. Bryan used to work for Los Lobos and told me they played Candelas. He thought I should give them a try.
