It pains me more than I can say but I might be moving out of LA in 6 months or so. It especially hurts because I love this city like no other. It's a city that in its modern incarnation was built by people like me, for people like me. Here you can make a living doing outrageous things that you'd be tarred and feathered for anywhere else. I exaggerate, of course, but its wonderful to live in a place that invites that sort of hyperbole.
Most of all I'll miss my friends. Some are in the Warners group caricature (above) that Bruce did. They're generous, enthusiastic, exciting people who I care about immensely. This city is a magnet for talented, idealistic, artsy people from all over the world, and its amazing how wonderful many of them turned out to be.
I'll miss the ubiquitous Cliff May-type ranch houses, too. Good 'ol Cliff.
Good old L.A.! How many people realize how great you are?
