Niederfrank’s Ice Cream in National City. Since 1948
February 7, 2010
Niederfrank’s is a National City institution. Since 1948, they have been the mecca for those looking for the best ice cream offerings in San Diego. For over 60 years, they’ve maintained an everything made on premises policy using all-natural ingredients. I had the pleasure of enjoying a cup of their French Vanilla… and it was damn good.

I picked up these two records at the Vivian Girls/Best Coast/Dunes show at the Casbah last Thursday. Both are sold out online so I’m pretty happy that I was able to pick them up. Fun!
I want a house in Rolando Village. San Diego, CA
February 6, 2010
I was watching the local news last night and got a late pass on discovering the simple beauty of San Diego’s Rolando Village. This neighborhood is right out of a black-and-white 50’s sitcom… but in color. As described by Jim D. Newland, Rolando was “named after the rolling topography of the land—with a popular 1920s ‘Spanish-style’ linguistic twist”. During the early development of Rolando Village, it was touted to be San Diego’s version of what Hollywood living is to Los Angeles. Click the images to make them larger.

February 5, 2010On my desk: Christmas Island 7″ and Inventory Magazine
February 4, 2010
Last night, I was planning on seeing Christmas Island play a warehouse show just down the street form my apartment, but as soon I got to there, I noticed that I forgot my wallet. No problem. Getting to my apartment, I noticed that my wallet was there but my drivers license was missing. Then and there I remembered that I had left it with my tax preparer just two hours earlier. Damn. So everyone in town for ASR that I said that I was going to hang out with last night, apologies. Ended up staying home with my pre-21 years old rights. Bummer.
Anyway, here are some of the things that I picked up while I was in LA last Tuesday. Above is Christmas Island’s Self Titled 7-inch (Captured Tracks) that I had purchased at Origami Vinyl. A great record. Go buy it. Below, is Ryan Willms’ Inventory Magazine that I bought at Craft. Only 5,000 copies printed. Curated well and designed well. Highly recommended.
