Sunset Junction

From Mr Sauce:
Los Angeles: We went to Sunset Junction in Silver Lake this weekend to see our friends play on the main stage. Not the normal turn out (we have gone for the last few years-we live quite close).
When eating at one of the neighborhood bars in the junction the server informed us that if we wanted to come again the next day and use the back door of the restaurant to get in for free we could. Very cool.
There was a rumor going around that all of us neighborhood folks could get in for free based on our zip codes. We found this to be untrue.
Maybe the lack of any big band, and the fact that Kings Of Leon played this weekend put a dent in the turn out on Saturday. I actually prefer less folks but I am certain they do not. Who keeps the proceeds for the Junction?
We normally go to a pre-Junction party at our friends house but unfortunately they were out of town this year. We felt quite lost going in without our normal 5 or 6 cocktails at our friends house and a large group of us stumbling down the hill to the entrance about 7:00PM.
This time we wandered over quite sober and casually and got there before 4:00 to find a very low turn out at that time. Come to think of it, maybe it was a normal turn out for 4:00 considering we have never been that early.
Anyway, it was quite fun. We ate a lot of crap, drank horrible frozen margaritas, watched a few bands and stumbled back home about 11:00PM and passed out.
I am sure we will be back again next year. For better or for worse.
