City of Angels: Day 9

I photographed Los Angeles and the surrounding areas while visiting my sister for the birth of my niece. Today’s post includes a few photos from her neighborhood on Blix Street as well as performances by the RapScallions, Sederra, KiLR and 40 Oz. to Freedom, a Sublime tribute band, at The Viper Room in Hollywood. The Viper Room was owned by Johnny Depp until a few years ago and is most infamous as the venue where River Pheonix died in 1993. These are some of my favorite images.
