Something New: Week 9 – Ken Oak Band
by Ranil on Oct.19, 2008, under Something New
There’s a part of me that hopes Proposition 8 never passes simply due to my love for Ken Oak. I feel as if destiny led to me to find this Cello playing god on the streets of Santa Monica and fall madly head over heels for him.

Amidst their writhing copulation, thousands of spectators yearly interrupt this slimy union and catch the participants in mid coitus. Some are thrown back for good luck and some are taken home to be eaten. This is the Grunion Run. This year I went to my first.
