Los Angeles is one of my favorite cities. There’s no other town in the world that rewards creativity like LA. In discussing his landmark film Gladiator, the great director Ridley Scott said, “Ancient Rome was the LA of its time.” Which is another way of saying that Los Angeles is the Rome of our time. Around the globe, all entertainment roads lead here.
So for today’s blog entry, something DIFFERENT. It’s a music video! The song is Randy Newman’s ironic anthem, “I Love LA.” But our film is inspired by a 1929 silent Russian flick called Man with a Movie Camera. That groundbreaking film documented a day in the life of communist-era Mother Russia. Our little movie presents a day in the life of Los Angeles; or at least, a day in the life of one Hawaiian-shirt wearing LA resident.
Our Airstream is presently parked in scenic Malibu. Probably the most high profile Airstreamer in the country, Matthew McConaughey lives full-time in his trailer in this same park. But we haven’t seen Ol’ Washboard Abs just yet. His Airstream's here, but I think he may be off shooting a movie somewhere.
Since we both enjoy this area, we will stay in Los Angeles for a while.

Ive been reading and watching your travels for a while. I like!
Someday i hope to travel around the states pulling a silver bean like you guys. For now im stuck pulling a 53' box.
I love L.A. too. In moderation.
Hi Aaron! I know what you are saying about moderation. The traffic is bad enough...when you factor in a 25' Airstream (or a 53' box!) things get dicey. I can't imagine towing across town during the height of the traffic.
With your driving experience, towing an Airstream will be a breeze for you! It has been a learning process for me. No major collisions yet (knock on wood).
As always...thanks for checking out our blog. :)
Cheers,
Sean
