MMMMMMMMMMMM, I sure do miss me some Rotier's!!! It seems that good Southern food has escaped the realms of the California cullenary world.

I understand how the whole neuvo yuppie pop country thing can be somewhat annoying though... I think the cost of living and the economy out here just has me thinking about Nashville and the massive ammount of money there, and the relatively cheap cost o'living. I'm a artist/designer/sculptor, glass and metal are my thing, and I can't shake the feeling that as well as way less competition, all those country stars etc. seem exactly the sort of people who would and could pay for custom glass/metal design for their spankin new suburban mansions! Last time I was there it seemed that since I've been gone a way successful art subculture sprang up (although deathly commercial diluted contemporary knockoff painting mostly), and the artists there can actually MAKE MONEY!

Sucks to find myself admitting that this now seems appealing to me... making generic art for rich people, I can't help feeling that this might be better than no money and no art however!
It gets harder to fend off selling out the older you get, the more attractive the prospect.
