Day 14 / One cute afternoon

After reading my chronicle of our visit to The Hive, I know many of you think I'm overreacting, I’m a drama queen or something like that. I’M NOT.

You can see the tweet from #lagordaconchudaesa here:

Look carefully the message she speaks ONLY about food, she did not even say our names but she does not forget to say PIZZA or CHOCOLATES.

BTW, Work perk? QHdP... Work, pork...

Whatever, after lunch, we went to a coffee and after take a few huuuuuge ones we remember that the Coffee shops do not have bathrooms. OMFG Can you believe that? We had to use the restroom of a gas station which certainly had no friendly employees.

Then we went with “Coffee cupcake” to one Shopping Mall. (YES we are addicted to shopping). Was a lovely evening with our German friend. We enjoying a snack together and then Eugenia and I left to the train station because that evening we had scheduled the trip to San Diego.

It was hard to say goodbye to Jana but I wish that life would soon rejoin us. We arrived at the station, with our tongue out, and the train started to move before our asses was comfortable in the seats.

San Diego... there we go!!!

Day 14 / The Hive second chance

Around noon we meet Coffee at The Hive’s door. When I say The Hive, I say “the new one” because, as we all know, “the original one” was closed in March. Sadly, the new place located next to the original, is not the same at all.

Anyway our trip would never have been complete if we didn’t go there. This time it was also our second chance for The Hive because we made our first before going to Las Vegas.
The place was open and Robbie and James were working when we arrived. An old proverb says: “the first impression is the only that counts”... Our first impression there was YOU ARE NOT WELCOME HERE.

Immediately we decided to change our strategy. As I said before was about noon so, we decided to go and return with a giant pizza and drinks.

I am still not sure, even now, if something changed in my first impression however I am sure of one thing “Music soothes the savage beast” and “Pizza soothes the The Hive members”. (Especialmente a la #gordaconchudaesa). I mean she takes about 10 minutes to greet us when we got to the place and less than 2 minutes to get dishes for pizza. LOL.

We had lunch sitting on the mythical pink sofa after that when we went for a coffee.

Before we left James tweet this message for the rest of the Echelon at home.

We went out after mission accomplished feeling deep in our hearts YOU ARE NOT WELCOME HERE.

Day 13 / Coffee Cupcake’s Day

The most important of “the day 13” was that I met “Coffee Cupcake”. “Coffee Cupcake” is not a place to drink coffee and eat cakes, “Coffee Cupcake” or just “Coffee” is the nickname of my dear friend "Jana". Her friends got her that nickname for obvious reasons... she drinks coffee all day and loves cakes.

I might also add that she is sweet and tender like a cake and at the same time she is so fun to keep you awake like a coffee.

I had met Coffee before, in Kyte, but I had never seen her face to face. Jana lives in Germany, she went to LA to help his artist friend to prepare an exhibition.

Eugenia and I went that night to the exhibition to meet her.

The place of the exhibition looked like a lesbian’s convention but Phill’s work is very good.


We were very tired so we share a few drinks and snacks with our friend and we went to sleep.

We agreed to find us the next day to visit The Hive
