You Stay Classy San Diego/ Only Lovers Left Alive/ Clippers

#LAskeez decided to switch it up a bit over the weekend and headed over to San Diego.
Although I once considered San Diego to be nothing more than LA's small and boring stepsister of the south; I have to admit that it has grown on me over the years. 
Were San Diego lacks in terms of big city excitement, it definitely makes up in natural beauty and sheer chill and relaxation. Cute Neighborhoods like North Park and Hillcrest along with beautiful sights like Balboa Park, make San Diego a good weekend getaway. 

Saturday was a very patriotic day. 
#LAskeez  had an exclusive tour on the United States Coast Guard Bertholf Ship. It's typically in Alameda but they were in port in SD. The Bertholf can be found patrolling various parts of South America or up North near Alaska busting illegal fisheries among other cool stuff. 
It was quite a memorable experience and it definitely makes me appreciate (even more) the men and women that serve and protect the United States.

 The Bertholf in all it's Glory

The whole ship looks like this. Very confusing to remember. 

After our tour #LAskeez spent the remainder of the evening hanging out in Hillcrest and had the chance to watch the movie +Only lovers left alive  at the +Landmark Cinemas. To sum it up it's about how present day vampires would be, without the whole glamorization.
The cinematography is awesome and the movie has a bunch of music related references. 
It's definitely a movie to catch. 
Here's a trailer so you #skeezies can decided for yourself whether or not you are interested.

Sunday #LAskeez drove up to North Park to check out some vinyl at Off the Record. Then headed back down to relax at Spanish Landings before the drive in traffic back to LA.

San Diego was an impromptu adventure but it was a fun one nevertheless. #LAskeez is happy to be back in Los Angeles where the smog makes the best sunsets in the world and the traffic is always heavier. 

As Ron Burgundy would say:



Sports recap:

Dodgers lost yesterday to the Colorado Rockies 6-1.

Clippers lost to the Warriors 97-118.

The Kings play the Sharks tonight for Game 6 of the NHL playoffs.

Clippers two cents:

#LAskeez has never been fully able to become a Clipper fan because of Donald Sterling. It's been no secret here in LA for MANY years that he is a racist. The NBA can no longer sweep his racist comments/allegations under the rug, thanks to +TMZ releasing the tape.  The Clippers deserve a respectable team owner and the +NBA must take immediate action.
