I can't buy a good suit in the City of Long Beach. I can't buy a good pair of shoes in the City of Long Beach.

I can, however, get my picture taken at the record store Snoop Dogg shot his first video at.

This situation could only exist in a city with absolutely zero pride.

Nice one Dave.

I had a funny moment when I was shooting the portrait. I walked in and I realized I had been at VIPs over a decade ago when I was in college. I had never been to Long Beach back then, but I was a huge fan of the Pharcyde and they were doing an in-store signing there.

So some friends and I made the trek to the LBC. I stood in line for about an hour, bought a CD (Labcabincalifornia) and got a poster and booklet signed. It was the only time I had ever gone to get something autographed.

I told Kelvin about it and thanked him for having the Pharcyde there (ten years later). That put a smile on his face.
