Byron Scott is OFFICIALLY the Lakers new head coach for the next 4 years, 17 million cash money contract.
No more chumps like Mike Brown or Mike D'Antoni. Byron Scott is a coach the city can stand behind. #LAskeez has an inkling Kobe is finally satisfied with this move.
Basketball can't come soon enough but in the mean time the Dodgers are a very good topic. The Boys in Blue are back from their road trip and will be playing the Atlanta Braves tonight at 7:10pm. Tonight is a special Vin Scully microphone giveaway in celebration of his 65th year with the Dodger organization!
This one will definitely be a collectors item and it's an honor every time the fans get to hear Vin say those magic words before each game "It's time for Dodger Baseball". Thank you Vin Scully for making each game memorable.
Hope everyone had a great father's day yesterday including those mothers who have fulfilled the father role for their children.
Like yesterday, today is such pleasant day that it's time for #LAskeez to officially bring out the grill for some good old carne asada action! Which seems to coincide perfectly with the USA versus Ghana game, today at 3pm!
#LAskeez has been catching a few games here and there but we will definitely be tuning in, as you #skeezies should for some World Cup action.
The Lakers should be taking headlines soon to announce a new coach. Big things are coming Laker fans!
Let's not forget to mention the Metronomy show that will be taking place tomorrow at the Fonda Theatre tomorrow. What a fun dance hipster sing-along event this should be.
As long as the +Miami HEAT doesn't 3 peat, #LAskeez will be happy.
When Miami Fans left the Game thinking it was over & tried to go back in.
Congratulations to the +USC Trojan Class of 2014! #LAskeez was in attendance during the Dornslife Graduation Ceremony and was lucky to be sitting in the air conditioned +Shrine Auditorium and Expo Hall as the rest of the school was somewhere sitting outside in the scorching heat. Fight On Trojans!
Belanova, Cazwell, Dev, & Kelly Rowland where all in Long Beach this past weekend celebrating Long Beach Pride.
Jinx Monsoon passed the crown to... Bianca Del Rio! #LAskeez was rooting for Adore Delano but is happy to see Bianca win. She is definitely one of the fastest wittiest people to ever grace television. #LAskeez expects big things to come from Bianca. Condragulations to Bianca Del Rio!!!
If it's the place to be you better believe #LAskeez will be there too.
"First Fridays" start in January and end in June.
Tonights event is the second to last and a good one it will be. haha that sounded like something Yoda would say.
Don't worry #skeezies this is not a strictly educational field trip although learning a thing or two is never a bad thing. Let's go over a typical "First Friday" experience while informing the #skeezies of tonight's itinerary:
Show up early for a tour, space is limited to 15 ppl per tour. Today's tour is on the "Tracking and Trapping L.A.'s Wildlife"---They take off at 5pm, 5:30pm, 6pm.
Today's discussion is about "Back to the Future: The Scientific and Cultural Importance of Rancho La Brea" hosted by Dr. John Harris.
Tours and discussions not your thing? It's all good because what's next are the DJ sets and Performances.
In the DJ Lounge, DJ Anthony Valadez and DJ Daddy Kev will be spinning from 5:30pm-10pm.
If you're a KCRW listener you know that DJ Anthony Valadez is no joke and he happens to be one of #LAskeez's favorites!
There are two performances tonight.
Groundislava featuring Rare Times at 8pm and Holychild at 9:15pm.
Groundislava
HolyChild
A lot to look forwarded to tonight. #LAskeez will post some photos of tonights event tomorrow.
LA is thousand times better than the OC so there is no doubt in #LAskeez's mind that the Kings will easily win this round. Maybe even sweep. Okay maybe the sweep part was a bit too much. The point is, GO KINGS!
Thousands of Angelenos are getting ready to March starting from China Town all the way down to City Hall.
Justice for low wage workers!
Be prepared for more traffic tie ups.
Speaking of which this morning on the 110 fwy right in the heart of Downtown LA, a puppy stopped traffic! How the little puppy made it on to the freeway is a mystery. How three police officers promptly came to the aid of the scene is a even bigger mystery. Next time #LAskeez needs the police to show up anywhere #LAskeez will tell them there's a puppy on the loose.
D'Antoni out, Sterling on his way out---a Stellar week for LA hoop Fans. The hunt for a new +Los Angeles Lakers Coach is in full swing. The question is who will it be? No more busts! Give the fans a fan favorite! Byron Scott? Kurt Rambis? Laker Fans, let's hope for the best. This whole not watching your team in the NBA playoffs is a very strange concept to Laker Fans and it will not be a norm. Not now, not ever.
As for the +Clipper's -- everyone's name is popping up as a potential buyer. Oprah, Magic, Diddy, Floyd Mayweather. ERRRYBODY! Anyway Clippers play Game 6 tonight at 7:30pm against the Golden State Warriors.
