Happy Friday the 13th.

In honor of my favorite Kentucky girl, who was always the perfect date for crushing the hearts and souls of boys in bars, looks great in black, and with whom I would be spending this 13th drinking if it wasn't for her being in fucking Kentucky, I present you this picture:

Frame #33: Library Tower, March 2001

Continuing with my unofficial series, "My Daily Route through Downtown Los Angeles," this is what the Library Tower at 5th and Grand would look like, if it was electrocuted. I think. Every year, the YMCA sponsors a run up it's 73 floors. I might do that this year, just to see how many floors I can get through.

How does this tie to our Kentucky Girl, Lex? She nearly electrocuted herself and set her entire house on fire yesterday while playing with live wires. That's fucking awesome, and I love her knee-jerk reaction to a noisy stove timer. When I read about it, I immediately thought of this picture, which I took over 6 years ago.

Confidential to my ballsy girl: I miss you. Boys are too easy to go home with when you're not here. The sex is good, the company is not. Come back!

Marathon in the Sky

Y'all know how much I really like the Library Tower in downtown Los Angeles; you've seen the pictures. Technically, it's now the US Bank Tower, but whatever to corporate greed.

Every year there is a run up its 75 flights. Sponsored by firemen and damn, do I need me some more of those. So this year, I'm joining in.

I'm done running over land. I want to run up into the clouds. And did I mention: FIREMEN?!

1,108 feet. 1500 stairs. And yeah, I totally think that sounds like fun.

I might be crazy. So what?

Bunker Hill is an interesting place to work. Lots of suits. Lots of money. Lots of tall buildings. Lots of great views.

That I usually only get to see from the street:

Library Tower and Flags, #33

I shot this from the walkway over Flower Street, bridging the WTC to the BofA tower. It was a pretty afternoon.

I really like downtown.
